Build your own pi-zero "Jumbo Spot" Hotspot
or a pi-3 / pi-4 duplex hotspot

Download the pi-star OS here

You can build your own hotspot with parts bought on line from Amazon and eBay

All you need is a raspberry pi zero with GPIO pins installed and an MMDVM hat, you can get one with a wee little screen but its really not needed because the pi dashboard give better details than that wee little screen will
You can get a nice custom case from C4Labs and a raspberry pi power supply with the correct voltage and amperage for the device (this is important)
a Mirco SD card of at least 16GB and that's it.

WLAN Adaptor
Or you can use this
pi zero LAN card
There are several options to add ethernet CAT-5 LAN capabilities to the pi-zero
(Note: This will rewuire a different case)

I made the antenna hole bigger to use a 15" with antenna for extended range (it works big time)
