@Daniel-OBrien I dunno, they finally responded on the KS and are saying that it should be ready next month. Realizing that it may be a pain to use with the GPS due to limited number of uart on the board (I'm assuming the cellular will use uart). Bummer if you were looking to build a tracker. You'd be better off using an Adafruit fona and switching between the cellular and gps over the single uart (get gps info and then turn on cel connection and send data, disconnect and go back to gps). There's an example of this method here using initialstate with pi zero and fona.

I do have to agree with Douglas Kryder regarding particle electron. 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.

@Martin-Zwigl Maybe with fona (I have 1 each 2g and 3g to test) on the uart and reference some of the raspberry pi python setups? 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.

Or 4...or 5...or now no longer answering questions about whether they will ever send these.......seem to be ignoring the kickstarter now but just introduced a new surface mount module. No update on the KS for 2 months already.
