“Ordered mine just as orders were open. Been using it since than as a "video looper". With it's bare-bone hardware I was able to play full HD videos at just about 90mA - awesome! :)”
“The raspberry pi zero is simply fantastic. The possibilities with this device are endless. I used mine to link my telescope to my laptop; not bad for £4! I will be buying more in the future!”
“I got 2 raspberry pi zero instead of one I've ordered and payed :) I got quick response by email, and paid for the second one easily. :) Good support, fast delivery.”
“I just wanted to connect the pi zero to my home network and the internet.
I have played with ubuntu a while ago on my laptop, and that was easy and everything worked straight away.
The zero gets less cheap if you want to connect it.
I tried a cheap usb to utp stick, and it worked.
searching a program succeeded, but when i started to really download data by installing a media player for instance, the system froze and did not come to life.
A wifi dongle i had lying around did not work at all.
I know i am actually criticizing Linux instead of the Pi, and it probably has to do with the usb devices not being compatible enough, but i am used to windows which searches for a suitable driver.
The Pi (or Linux) doesn't even ask for a driver, It doesn't even see the device and says there is nothing available to connect with to my network.
I come from Windows, and I am a noob with Linux, and I am sure there is a way to make this al work....but, a whole evening trying to connect a 5 euro costing device, by examining wifi or utp to usb compatible chipsets is to much of an effort for me.”
