Re: Where is R1 please on MMDVM board

Thanks all! As you might see from the other thread I started, I'm beginning to think that I'd be better off with a zero. It fits the hardware which came with the MMDVM and is not an expensive option! I didn't buy the Pi 4b for this application anyway, it was just a solution looking for a problem and...

Re: Where is R1 please on MMDVM board

Reading again, I think that they are referring to the installation of the OLED to the MMDVM? Not 100% sure. Mine has the display already fitted. The problem with the instructions is that they expect beginners to know what HAT, i2c etc. mean! Thanks for reading, I promise I'll be quiet when I have th...

Where is R1 please on MMDVM board

The (extremely poor!) instructions that came with the STM32_MMDVM_HS HAT say to remove R1 when it is to be used with the pi 4b. I cannot see it and googling only brings up copies of the instruction sheet.

I'd be grateful for any advice please.

Thanks

Re: MMDVM + pi4b - heat issues?

Thanks Gene,

That sounds encouraging. Mine's running at 38.4C with the fan on. I've just disconnected it and I'll see how high it goes.

MMDVM + pi4b - heat issues?

I have had the pi4b for some time now. I am just about to receive a MMDVM hotspot board from eBay. My question; if the hotspot fits where my fan currently resides, how do I cool the pi4b? Perhaps I don't need to? I'm wondering if I should be getting a pi zero w instead? Apologies for what is probabl...
