I've been running it over the last month and all of my testing has been successful. Let me know if you run into any issues.

So, update the firmware to v1.4.17, and get to playing with it :)
A couple questions about this:
  1. What port needs to be selected in Pi-Star Configuration for this?
  2. Does this mean there is no need to install the Model 8 driver separately anymore?

You know, I never installed Model 8 because I don't have a personal use case for a touch screen. I may fool around with this just as a learning experience, but it won't be this week.

Jason,
Which version of the zumspot radio board and pi-star are you using?
For me the zumspot radio board version 1.4 still doesn't work without the usb connection.
I am using the 4.0.0 RC4 pi-star, 1.4.17 zumspot firmware.
