Working, but no documentation, not even a name for the Pi Star configuration.

I had to solder the antenna connector to the board. super easy. The headers have already been connected to the "header". So I booted up the Pi-Star on the Pi3+, put the cap on the Pi and turned on the power. Everything was easy except how to find the right type of radio/modem. After trial and error, the result was using "MMDVM_HS_Hat (DB9MAT and DF2ET) for Pi (GPIO). Everything worked great after that. The board works great for $30.00. Only gave 3 stars because it's not good is without sending…

Pros
  • electronics
Cons
  • speed

Great for computers and accessories

You'll have to solder the SMA connector and figure out the calibration details yourself, but this board works great if you don't mind putting a little more effort into it than the more expensive one. The board selection "MMDVM_HS_Hat (DB9MAT and DF2ET) for Pi (GPIO)" in Pi-Star helped me. I found it more fun figuring things out than buying a better documented and fully assembled unit, but if you're into plug and play then this probably isn't the board you're looking for.

Pros
  • Computer Components
Cons
  • Some little things

Easy Install Best on Single Board Computers

If you're not very good at soldering, buy a pre-assembled kit for a few bucks more. ADDITIVE. After struggling with this for almost 2 months I gave it to a friend who builds it all the time and was told the reason I can't get mine to work is that it's defective. He told me he had a bad match too. I think they don't test them thoroughly before selling them. I suspect if the header pins aren't even soldered then they can't test them.

Pros
  • Computers and Accessories
Cons
  • Secret
