Where can I buy a ZUMspot board on its own?

Seems difficult to get a board without case, SD card etc. Way too expensive.

I just want the damn board, anyone know of a supplier?

Re: .96 OLED Mounting Frustrations

I appreciate this is an older post but for interest I managed to mount a 0.96" display on top of ZUMspot v0.4 and a C4labs case. I used HotGlue (carefully applied) to the top two corners (GPIO end) only and a small plastic shim under to avoid shorts. It's very secure. I removed the pins from th...

Re: Add ID display column on Dashboard

Yeah, this could be handy. I imagine it's could also be possible to display the users registered name.
Then one could add, perhaps -2 to the second ID username.

Just thoughts.

Using a 'Dual Colour' serial OLED screen?

I've used a couple of OLED screens, via serial (IIC/!2C) interface, single colour, works just great. Might seems a daft question but if fitting a dual colour display, yellow blue for example, what will happen? Will it display one colour, can the colour be changed? Will it/can it use both? Is there a...

Re: Using Hotspots in close proximity to one another

Thanks Chris.

Putting an attenuator in line is a great idea, I'll do just that :) .. 10dB seems a good level, I'm never too
far away from the Hotspots.

Time to look on Amazon / Ebay.

Using Hotspots in close proximity to one another

I seem to be collecting Hotspots for some reason, you can never have too many I suppose! There's a simple calculation: N + 1 N being the number of radios you already have plus another. I have 3 ZUMspot hats in fairly close (6") proximity to one another, C4FM, D-Star & DMR, all on different ...

Re: ZUMspot v0.4 & I2C on-board interface usage for OLED screen

That's great!

I appreciate you taking the time to reply, it would have been easier than soldering directly
to the board. I have another ZUM board so next time I'll take that route.

ZUMspot v0.4 & I2C on-board interface usage for OLED screen

I note the ZUMspot (v0.4 in my case) HAT has convenient I2C interface header available. Measuring shows 3.3V and GND go to the appropriate GPIO headers but SDA & SCL don't. I successfully have an OLED screen operating connected directly to the GPIO pins (as type 3) but am wondering if it's possi...
