“A very capable computer that fits in the palm of your hand. Raspbian, the recommended Linux distribution for the Raspberry Pi, can be set to automatically connect to a wireless network on first boot, removing the need to connect a monitor and keyboard to configure the computer.”
“What can you say about the Zero W. It does everything I need it to do. I was having problems with my hot water tank so I am using it to interrogate 6 temperature sensors and save the data to a csv file on my samba server.”
“Great little device, easy to setup. If you don't have the necessary mini HDMI cable take a look at the headless setup guide at https://desertbot.io/blog/ssh-into-pi-zero-over-usb or others.
I'm intending wiring this up to an OBD-2 plug and having it log data to AWS IoT.”
“I've found these pi zero W boards a bit flaky in use but they are great if you have one simple use and only use it for this purpose.
Its a bit unnecessary to limit the supply to one per order.”
“A great little unit, with plenty of processing power for my project - wireless security systems. Enough I/O to take alarm and PIR inputs in a small and affordable package. Great!
One slight note - it is 2.4GHz only, and network throughput isn't going to to be stellar. More than enough for my monitoring system.”
