Review on πŸ”Œ Enhance Your Raspberry Pi Zero/W with the iUniker USB Dongle Expansion Breakout Module Kit: Insert from both Front and Back Sides! by Yung Rich

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Looks great but no assembly instructions

Great dongle for Raspberry Pi Zero W. Looks great with LEDs. Lots of negative reviews due to incorrect assembly. Unfortunately the assembly instructions are not good. There are four pins on the board that should be connected to the test points on the Raspberry Pi Zero W. Based on some reviews people think these pins should go in the Raspberry header. This is a mistake. Initially I thought contacts should go in the header as well. On closer inspection, however, you can see that the contacts do not fit in the header. If you just flip the board over you will see that the pins fit perfectly into the KT points on the other side of the board. Another thing I was wondering is what people mean by "can be pasted any way". What exactly does "either" mean in this particular case. Turns out they figured out how to make the standard USB-A connector work like USB-C, meaning it can be inserted in any orientation. Im impressed to see how it works! Very cool idea.

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
