Pi-Star Hardware

[jeffj31890]

Hello, not sure if this can be discussed on here but I have a Raspberry Pi 3B+ and MMDVM_HS_Dual Revision v1.3. In the Pi-Star configuration which type of board do I select, as there are many options? 73

Hi Jeff and glad to see your first post on Radio Reference! Try MMDVM_HS_Dual_Band for Pi (GPIO) as the Radio/Modem Type.

Thank you. Should I connect it via USB or the pins on the Pi? I am guessing that is what GPIO is.

I would think your Multi-Mode Digital Voice Modem (MMDVM) will plug right into the Raspberry Pi’s General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) connector. I have a different configuration than you so I’m not totally familiar with your hardware. Maybe someone else will chime in and confirm this configuration that you have for connecting the two.

Do they have USB on the MMDVM hats? Single and dual MMDVM examples (none of the ones I have feature a USB plug), dual plugged into the expansion pins of a Pi3b as an example of how I'd expect yours to look.
