“Excellent delivery. Well packed. The Pi W is great with the official case, besides looking good it is quite small but packs some power. I use it mainly as a surveillance camera.”
“Back to the roots and keep everything as simple as possible. Although it has wifi and bluetooth on bord it seems to be perfect for simple, little power all-time-on projects. But converting programms may get quite tricky because of less memory.”
“Got mine monitoring 12 sensors, operating 9 valves & a pump as well as logging the data for all of these every minute 24/7. emails me across the wifi if anything goes wrong and is all controlled via wifi front end PC in the office with graphs showing performance from the logged data.
Very impressed”
“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.”
