“I recently bought this to build a retro gaming system running RetroPie. The goal was to build this into a replica NES cartridge and it has worked extremely well for this project. The Zero W has built in WiFi and Bluetooth which allows the games to be uploaded remotely, and I am hoping to use the Bluetooth connectivity with games controllers. Setting it up was simple but did need a new build of the RetroPie image for the new features built into the Zero W.
RetroPie works really well on this board and I can recommend it for projects where space is at a premium. Currently I am thinking of using this board to build a simple IR camera system for the garden, with a PIR sensor.”
“I have the previous two versions as well, but it was quite hard to find a wifi adapter that works with them. With the Zero W the wifi driver is included in the kernel, so it just works. It's not the fastest, but it does the job. If they can't integrate more things on the board, I hope that in next revisions they can increase the performance too.”
“Love it! Keep em coming! Ill give you one more star if you allow bulk orders? free shipping? or just flood the market with more of these amazing little suckers?”
“I was impressed by the time taken for my Pi Zero W to arrive from the opposite side of the planet (UK -> AU). Liked the metallic green packaging too!”
“Awesome little this this is. Made my own gameboy and used this, the addiction of the Bluetooth and wifi just add to the functionality of the gameboy.”
