Z-Wave module pinout to make it compatible with Pi b+

[bonterra]

@MarkHaysHarris777: My soldering skills are NOT up to par for desoldering and re-soldering components to a PCB, and I assume that most people here are in the same boat, and even if my skills were good enough for that I did not buy a kit but a finished product. If someone wants to start taking apart and reassembling the components then it should be by choice but it should not be necessary.

hi Yomet,  your expenditure falls into one of two camps: 1) you supported the kick-starter, if which case you purchased nothing, but infact invested in Pine Inc as a startup, the rewards for which were "kit components" but certainly not a finished product,  or 2) you purchased "components" from the Pine Store amounting to unassembled "kit components" but again certainly not a finished product.  This is simply an undisputed fact.

In any case , clearly these "components" were never tested together and no promises were made ( that I can find ) that gaurantee that all of these components will actually "go together" as a finished "kit" let alone a formal polished product.

[... Marketing talk ...]

As a side-bar , I consider soldering ( as also programming ) to be a life skill that people in the 21st century should know and practice;  I realize that not everyone will agree.

It's hardly too much to ask. If you bought something advertised and priced as a kit rather than individual pieces, wouldn't you expect them to fit together? If you buy a new car that comes with a spare tire you expect the spare tire to fit, no matter if the car comes from the world's biggest maker or a garage startup company.

For those interested, the topic is moving from his first subject, here is the drawing from the pi connector to zwave module adaptor.

I connected it to the pi connector of a raspberry pi b+ without the two resistors and the inductor and it works really well under domoticz see screenshots below (in a french version of domoticz):

So you have just to "take" another GND on the pi b+ gpio connector.

Hope this helps!

Thanks, the diagram will be very useful. Do you have any idea why there are extra components on the adapter?
