The unit below came with the S3A7 IoT Fast Prototyping Kit. I heard that it normally costs $30 separately. The unit below works.

I went online and saw similar units on sale on eBay for $11 to $17. I do not know if any of the units on eBay work. If you have a unit that works, please post information.
