Hi @earlmckay_126052,

Excellent project! I'm planning to build this radio, but I'd prefer to use a wired LAN connection instead of WiFi. Do you have any suggestions on the best way to implement this?

Thanks for your help and for sharing this great project!

if you want to use a “full-size” Raspberry Pi with an integrated Ethernet port, you would first need to check whether there is enough space inside the enclosure, and whether the board can be positioned so that the Ethernet connector is accessible at the back of the housing. In that case, the other components (SHIM OnOff, USB-C socket, LED) would need to be repositioned accordingly.

If you want to use a Raspberry Pi Zero together with an external Ethernet adapter, the available space inside should generally be sufficient. However, the required GPIO pins may conflict with the existing pin assignments. In that case, you would need to verify whether any overlaps can be resolved in software. The button assignments can easily be changed, but the MiniAMP pin configuration cannot.

I would probably use the Ethernet adapter together with the Raspberry Pi Zero. In that case, you would only need to add an opening in the enclosure for the Ethernet adapter.

Thank you very much for your detailed response! I have a full-size Raspberry Pi (3B) available, so I would prefer that solution. I'll take a look at the design files and check what modifications would be needed to. If I run into any issues or have questions about the component placement, I'll reach out.
