“This is an amazingly cheap computer (esp. from Pimoroni) Mine was installed in a MMDVM digital Ham radio hotspot kit. The two tricky bits were soldering the two headers and then programming the codeplug for my hand held radio. My first call for a radio check from my back garden in Halesowen resulted in a 5.9 from a fellow Ham in Holland. I was delighted. Took me back to the days when we built stuff and programmed for fun and to learn. 73's from G1KII”
“Very happy with Pimoroni service. They emailed once a Pi Zero W was available and delivered fast and well packed The little computer worked perfectly at once, which is more than can be said for my first attempts at Python. Good progress now and some learning going on with my first project to transfer .gpx files from iphone over wifi and load them to a USB only Garmin when off grid. It runs from two NiMh AA cells in a cheap phone back-up device (with voltage conversion up to 5v) and will power Garmin etrex 30x like this for long enought to modify and transfer files when out cycling.”
