- Replace RTC battery with holder and CR2032 battery that produces less waste when the battery dies CR2032 Holder CR2032 Battery
- RTC battery is entirely optional, but it keeps the system clock running (accurate) while unplugged
- Use the Anker charger instead of the official power adapter reduces cables if you're using a lot of USB powered devices in your setup, including the recommended router
- Replace uFL connectors with Edge SMA connectors
- Will also need to obtain SMA-M to SMA-F jumpers to connect the antennas to the outside of the case
- Other USB-based KISS TNCs should work
- An m.2 SSD HAT and 2230 drive can replace the SD card
- Pros: More robust, larger drive space
- Cons: Doesn't fit in many cases, costs more, requires additional configuration
TODO
- Pi 4, lower RAM
TODO
- Pi Zero
- USB Micro-B instead of USB-C
