“Of course connectors are not the most important part of this bundle but it's awfull to me have useless crap attached to the good Pi Zero .
I may be one unluky customer but :
- hdmi adapter is useless : its way to loose so you have to hold it to make it works
- USB adaptor IS A SHORTCIRCUIT, I almost damaged my tablet. So you are warned : BE CAREFUL
Full story:
I plugged all together and Pi Zero didn't started (tried different power adapters in case a the minimal output current required).
Tryied also with nothing connected (no keyboard into the usb adapter, ne screen) but I left the usb adapter in the Pi Zero.
Then, sadly I put back the Pi Zero in the box
And tried to connect a usb key on my tablet using the Pi Zero usb adapter.
At once, the tablet shutdown (I don't know if it was a safety or just the drain on the battery)
The tablet was indeed warm (but not to much)
I started to wonder if it was the adapter : BINGO
Pi Zero went on just with the power supply.
I was happy ... for while
Until I noticed the hdmi adapter is also a pain in the ass : too loose to work without someone holding it in the correct position
Best parts of the kit :
- Pi Zero
- metal tin”
“I am impressed with my new Raspberry Pi Zero. I haven’t yet decided what to do with it. I will probably share it with some high school students that I’m working with.”
