Hi, my name is Charlie and i had a need for a simple 1-wire antenna that i could interface with my arduino, and that's why i'm writing this.

first, take the first one and place the left pin on g49
next, take the second one and place it on the + and - power supply rails
The Antenna Itself

first, take 6 inches of bare wire and put it in the - power rail.
do the same for the + rail.
The Coil
first, take 3 inches of bare wire and make 3 coils
then, put it in the - rail and e45
Wiring
first, put one end of a wire on f47
next, put the other end on d42
then, put another one on f49
last, put the other end on the - rail
*to connect to arduino, put wire on pin 2, digital and a42
