Hello, friends
I had a question while watching a lot of hwfly installation videos.
That's the GND point.
The installation point of this point is not the same every time, but it seems to be divided into two.
Do I have to install it differently for each type of chip?
Even in Stetix's latest video, he didn't even connect anything to GND Point.
I'm terribly confused. Where to connect or leave blank..??
I am planning to connect directly without fpcb cable in V4.3. (OLED model)
I sincerely look forward to hearing from you.

video was incomplete, always refer to diagrams.
gnd is required, you can actually connect to other points, the one beside the antenna sockets are nearest and most convenient, you may also use a big cap like where the 3v was taken. older diagrams will show another point beside the charge port. but it's best to used the one beside the antenna sockets

So it doesn't matter where I connect?
As your opinion, I decided to connect the Gnd to the antenna. Thank you very much :)

In Sthetix video he did not connect ground because ground is being delivered from the CPU cap that is connected with the CPU ribbon. Now whether or not that is the best ground is up for debate. However, I personally prefer to use larger awg wire for ground and power.

Ground is ground and it doesn’t matter where you pull it from. Just keep it at a short distance. No reason to run it from across the board.
