perfect

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

Nice piece of design & excellent quality. simple and effective; does exactly what supposed to do. thanks

Mohammed Samdani | Jan. 16, 2020

Working perfectly, great support

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

Its working perfectly. There was a difficulty in tracking the product at some point of time, but when I had written an email, it was sorted out in no time. The support provided was excellent. Documentation, when we see from a gateway point of view, its perfect; but when we see from a backplane point of view, there's a scope for improvement. I did figure out finally, but a step by step instruction is desirable (especially for a novice like me).

Works perfectly, hassle free delivery, recomm. over wiring

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

Great backplane, thanks for your work! Does what it is supposed to be doing very well. Definitely recommending it over any kind of lengthy wires and will use it for my next kit as well. Prompt shipping without any hassles to GY, pricing very good. A set of matching spacers and soldering markers would make it the perfect offer.

Mateusz | Aug. 8, 2019

just as described

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

I just wanted a backplane to connect my ic880a to my Raspberry - this product does exactly what it says it does. Just solder goldpins and you're ready to go.

Dimitris | May 29, 2019

Great product, excellent support

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

The board works as advertised. All required pieces are included. I would only add a few spacers to make the final product a bit more robust.
A shipping problem which was caused by the post office and not the sender was treated with clarity and responsibility by the sender.

Matthias | March 10, 2019

Good quality product, great purchase

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

As advertised: it gets the job done. No extra features. The parts required to get started are included. Labels on the board make it easy to place the conntecors the right way. Order and delivery also went through without problems. Well worth its price.

Dimitris | Feb. 25, 2019

Very useful board

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

Great quality! Thank you! The Reset Pin if you use resin.io is 22. I was not able to setup the gateway with the documentation. The board fits perfectly! Thank you for the fast shipping.

Robert | Nov. 28, 2018

The board makes it easy to work with the IMST board & the PI

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

The adapter board is high quality and fits the IMST 880a perfect. All the needed pinheaders are included. The only thing that could be added would be a pin header for the serial console (2(+), 6(-),8(tx), 10(rx)) of the pi. I did this for me with just 4 wires eding in a Dupont case fixed with superglue on the board. Works for me.

Philippe | Oct. 28, 2018

Simple et efficace

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

Simple and efficient !
I did a nice "The Things Network" gateway in south of France.
Thank you.
Philippe

Ruediger | Oct. 4, 2018

Great thing.

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

Fits perfectly and simplifies the construction very much. Your commitment is admirable. Thank you.

Antonio | March 22, 2018

Misleading photos in this page

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

My version is rev 1.2 and the raspberry label is on the side of the connector where I need to solder the bit 13x2 connector in the kit while in the photos the raspberry label is on opposite side. This is the second backplane kit I buy, I threw away the first one because I looked at the photos and soldered the raspberry connector on the wrong side.

Jörg | Feb. 22, 2018

Works just great

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

Exactly what I was looking for. Not a very complex piece of hardware but - hey - way better then my own wiring.

Philip | Feb. 12, 2018

Works as expected

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

The unit works as expected and the author replied quickly to my message about shipping. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Hans | Jan. 24, 2018

Great support

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

Having an issue with installing the software for TTN-gateway but it turned out is was not related to the backplane. Nevertheless Gonzalo gave me great support to solve the problem. Besides he sold me a perfect backplane :-)

Nikolaos | Oct. 25, 2017

Great item, just made setting up a LoRa gateway so easy!

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

This item was made to save time connecting the iC880a to a raspberry pi and it does that perfectly without any hassle or issues. There's very good documentation and a couple of videos out there on exactly how to use this, it seems to be the preferred option for many people and it's also for me.

Vinodkar Reddy | Oct. 12, 2017

We are yet to receive an update on the consignment.

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

I would love to buy the product, but not from you. We are not even able to track the consignment. There is no customer care number or so.

Response from gnz | Oct. 13, 2017
Hi Vinodkar, I am sorry you for your inconveniences but I think you might have missed an email or something because the tracking number is attached to your order in tindie and I see that right now, it is being processed in your country already (last status update was on Monday): http://take.ms/6xEs2

Regarding the customer care number, I'm not a company, tindie is for makers making things, but if you shot me an email, I can help you out sorting issues for sure.

I hope your package reaches you in the coming days and you can have a working gateway soon!
Do write me per email if you face any difficulties.

Cheers
Gonzalo

Benjamin | Sept. 5, 2017

Perfect

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

Does exactly what it should, connects an Raspberry pi to an IMST concentrator. Came with connectors for DC, Pi and Concentrator.

Yanina | July 31, 2017

Great!

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

Thank you for a great board. The backplane fits its purpose in a perfect way. Very quick delivery. Recommended.

Gary | July 26, 2017

Simple and handy backplane kit for the IMST iC880a

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

A great little backplane to help cut down on jumper wires and make things more robust, comes with all the headers needed. Now I just need to 3d print a nice custom case.

Marin | July 1, 2017

Does the job!!!

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

The product is simple and nice. Works well. Wish it was more centered on my raspberry pi.

Will order again for more projects.

Dennis | June 6, 2017

Nice board

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

The backplane fits its purpose in a perfect way. Soldering it was easy and using the images on the tindie page it was clear how to solder the headers correctly.

Björn | May 12, 2017

Perfect for that price!

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

Works like a charm and for that price it's the perfect solution! I can only recommend it! 100 characters!!!

Guido | April 19, 2017

Great!

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

I wonder how they can sell this board, including ALL of the connectors, for this price!

The barrell connector fits perfectly with the one included in the TP-Link TL-POE10R, so you can easily power the gateway through the ethernet cable, leaving the Raspberry micro-USB alone.

Maybe they should rise the price a bit and include some M2,5 spacers and screws needed for a robust installation.

The shipment was done within hours from the payment, but it got stuck a couple of weeks in my country's customs, so beware of your customs!

Owen | March 30, 2017

Gonzalo rules ok

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

Thank you for a great board.
It is a good idea to use this sort of configuration to avoid the usage of leads.

Martin | March 9, 2017

Super Product

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

It's perfect. I expected it to be assembled, so first I had to do some soldering. It's easy and straight forward tough. There is no Documentation, it's rather self-explanatory tough. Very quick delivery, thank you!

Matthias | Feb. 26, 2017

Works like a charm

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

The backplane dies its job perfectly. The assembly/soldering of the headers is done in a few minutes.

Mark | Feb. 22, 2017

A must have

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

Very simple board to fit the concentrator to you Pi. You need it!

Be warned that the quality of the power supply is very important to get the iC880A reliably working.

Thomas | Jan. 13, 2017

Everything you'd expect and more.

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

Absolutely professional PCB finish, easy to assemble if you know what end of the soldering iron is hot ;-)

Perfect fit for the IMST board and the raspberry.

If you deploy this, get an additional 1cm board spacer with screw/nut to keep the backplane from short-circuiting on the raspberry 2/3 micro USB port. The holes you need are already there and perfectly aligned. Alternatively use a adhesive rubber spacer like used for PCB mounting.

Jean-Philippe | Dec. 9, 2016

Very convenient

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

Easy to solder pins on, easy to mount.
Pictures are realistic.
Great product!

An improvement for future could be to add a hole in order to ease mounting on a Raspberry Pi 2.

David | Dec. 7, 2016

Great board to connect the iC880a to a Raspberry Pi

For IMST iC880a LoRaWAN backplane (Kit)

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Great quality and no problem soldering the headers in place. Recommended.
