“The product have been received (correctly shipped) and the first feedback with testing is that the zero is working as expected (gpu not tested at this time). Only the OS was started by using the g_ether linux kernel module to get the ethernet by using the usb port. Only a sdcard and usb cable was enough to start with the Zero.”
“You can't really argue with these for the price. Incredibly flexible, easy to set up and pretty powerful too. I've so far used them for IR receiver and tv driver projects but they can do so much more! I'm planning to order a LOT more!”
“You get so much more than a great little single board computer. The online communities are fantastic, & really inspire experimenting. It surpassed all expectation.”
“The pi Zero is a fine piece of equipment, has the processing power of the old Pi 2B, but no network or music output connectors. As an experiment I wanted to make a ultra low cost music/media player to use with RuneAudio, Volumio or KODI. On the other hand I wanted the best music quality possible. I integrated a PCM5102 based I2S DAC decoder, WiFi dongle and a Micro USB to Network LAN adapter/3 Port USB bought on-line in China, power supply for the second hand store and a locally purchased discounted micro SD card. Total cost, including postage, around Euro 30. The only problem is that the LAN connection automatically goes to sleep, this can be switched off when using a B model with on-board LAN. With WiFi everything works fine. The music quality is not as good as when using more expensive DAC’s, but is excellent for the price.”
