Overview

X303 is a Gigabit Ethernet expansion board with USB HUB specially designed for Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W / Pi Zero / Zero W / Zero WH.

It equipped with a Gigabit Ethernet, 3 standard USB-A 2.0 ports, and a USB Type C to power.

The USB-A port can be used to connect external devices such as mouse, keyboard etc.

Note:

  • The Raspberry Pi board, power adapter are not included in the packing list.
  • Raspberry pi micro OTG port cannot be used as it is occupied by USB HUB
  • When using X303 with the Raspberry Pi Zero W, the pogo pin of the status LED might not reach to test pad so the ACT status LED on the X303 will not functional, but this won't affect the use of X303.
  • For matching case please refer to to: File:X303-c1-asm.stp, We have only designed this case, not produced it. You can 3D print a case

FAQ

Q1: The pogo pin(at the end nearest to X303 Ethernet port) does not reach pad?

A: When using X303 with the Raspberry Pi Zero W, the pogo pin of the status LED might not reach to test pad so the ACT status LED on the X303 will not functional, but this won't affect the use of X303.
