“Absolutely brilliant idea - take the Raspberry Pi, shrink it, and make the ideal candidate for wearable tech, and other small applications that don't need the power of the full-size Pi.
It helps to have the essentials kit as well, to give the additional connectors to get you going - all I needed to add was a small usb hub and a micro-usb cable for power, and viola! Currently experimenting with a default Raspbian install, but hopefully the MagPi magazines will provide inspiration for future projects.
Definitely a must-have :)”
“I wanted to replace a Pi B OpenElec project... well, just because the Zero is cool. And, of course, the extra MHZ are handy. Once I'd bottomed out the connectivity issues (HDMI to VGA+Audio splitter and MicroUSB to USB hub), all I had to do was upgrade OpenElec to the latest version. After that, it was a simple MicroSD swap (MicroSD was in an SD adapter). Power, boot and Bingo! Everything working on a lower power, faster, newer, MINISCULE Pi (so low power that it's actually powered by the USB hub in the monitor to which it is connected). I have a feeling I'll be buying a few more of these...”
“This has not only met, but exceeded my expectations. It goes without saying that you should just buy this immediately, it's a £4 computer for crying out loud! Also, get the accessory kit with it, you'll need it”
“Basically with the std nobs install its like a full PC, A little slower and in its basic form no internet connection but £3.20 + vat and del.
About the cost of a cheep coffee.”
