For more, see: Pi-Star вЂ“ Summary thoughtsВ в€Ё Pi-Star is made freely available to our amateur radio community, a gift deserving of our gratitude and support. The design concept is simple: provide the complex services and configuration for Digital Voice on Amateur radio in a way that makes it easily accessible to anyone just starting out, but make it configurable enough to be interesting for those of us who can't help but tinker. As the main Pi-Star developer, Andy Taylor, MW0MWZ, says: While a talented coder can build their own hotspots directly from those underlying components, Pi-Star makes it possible for the rest of us to easily use that complex functionality. Sometimes, people even get angry when the Pi-Star team lets them know that they need to make their feature requests to the people creating those underlying components. In some cases when users want new functionality, they don't realize that those features need to be added to those components before they can be incorporated into Pi-Star.

There's one aspect of Pi-Star some people don't quite understand that sometimes leads to confusion about feature requests: Pi-Star is a well-made software package built upon and depending on components other people are coding, including the MMDVM suite by Jonathan, G4KLX, and the firmware by Andy, CA6JAU. If you're using a 3B+, 3A+, or 4B board, you must use Pi-Star 4.1.x.

Pi-Star 4.1.x works for hotspots using all Raspberry Pi boards.

If you're upgrading from 3.4.17 or earlier, or a 4.0.0 Release Candidate, see these instructions: Upgrading to Pi-Star 4.1.
