<![CDATA[Cellular?]]>Hi

Are there any plans for a substitute to the Hologram cellular expansion (no longer supported/avail. as I understand)

OR

anyone in the community has realized a project with another cellular module from scratch?
Edit: Maybe with the Adafruit Fona Mini GSM breakout?

Cheers,
Martin

I'm kinda giving up on ever receiving the expansion from the KS as they are no longer responding on there. I'm wondering if refunds are in order for those of us who paid for the expansion and never received it. I did just test the "initialstate" setup with pi zero and fona 2g and it's up and running...may not be too difficult to port that over. Last I messed with the 002+ I had problems and put it away. Might pull it out and try again.

I have a couple and they are incredibly easy to work with as far as cellular setups go. I haven't tried yet but I'm thinking that possibly using a hologram, ting, or other sim in the electron may resolve the 2g issues depending on whether there's 2g available from other carriers in the area.
