“Despite only having one (micro) USB port, this was easy to set up with the Pi Hut Essentials Kit, which allowed me to connect a keyboard and monitor while I set up the wi-fi. I installed Raspian Jessie Lite and use it 'headless'.
I have connected a DS18B20 temperature probe and wrote a Python script to read the temperature and log it to a database periodically (as a cron job).
I have installed an Apache web server and have a PHP script that reads the temperatures for the past 3 days from the database and draws a graph (using html5 canvas) on a web page.
The possibilities for this little board are endless and I've learned so much while playing with it.”
“For applications that can do with just one USB port this is a very nice little board. I never thought that the Pi was going to take over many of my Arduino projects!”
