Great except for unprotected pins during shipping

These 1-2 GPIO Expansion Boards (RAS-GP02) are useful when you stack components and end up with a pinless HAT stack. Or maybe you just can't access it from the top of the stack. The only problem is that they come with completely unprotected pins. So you have to play the "pin lottery" and hope nobody gets lost. I recommend packing them with other bulky but soft items like clothes so they all ship in one box. You don't need a simple soft envelope or email program.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Functionality

Significant WLAN signal attenuation due to aluminum housing

Very robust housing with a well thought-out design. The fan works well, is easy to mount and the case itself acts as a passive cooler. I use this case with a raspberry pi 3 b+ running in retro pie mode, overclocked and even running some demanding games on n64 or playstation the system and case never get hot or feel also only warm. However, the biggest downside of the aluminum body is the degradation of the Wi-Fi signal, and when you try to play online or update your device over Wi-Fi, the speed

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Some problems

The concept is great and the picture looked great. However, when I started using the "1 to 2" expansion board, it's not exactly 1 to 2, but more like "1 to 1.5" on at least the two I've bought. The pins on one side of the board are rectangular and all measure 0.025" x 0.025" so they fit into standard sockets. The pins on the other hand look fine in the photo but are inexplicably different, measuring 0.025" x 0.016" (so not square). As a result, at least in my application, the contacts on the…

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • Almost OK
