STEP 1
Preparing the hardware for Basics™ Station
Start by connecting the antenna to the IC808A module with the antenna cable, as shown in the following figure.
To finish the preparation of the hardware, you need to make 8 connections between Raspi & IC808A concentrator as shown in the following figure. Pin connections are also listed in the table below.
*Please visit Raspberry Documentation for Raspi Pins
The complete hardware setup is shown below. Before applying DC power, make sure that:
- The antenna cable is securely linked to IC808A and antenna.
- You use the right polarity/colors of power cables (purple and gray)
If you are facing connection issues, remove power immediately and check your wiring.
Make sure to use a 5V power supply and a 2A cable.
