“While digging around in an old box of robot bits I found my original old Raspberry Pi glad to find it still worked I went on line to my original site of purchase the Pihut to see what was now available. strait away I was drawn to the Zero its small size, WiFi and Bluetooth capability just calls out to be the brains of a small robot. While working out what components I need to make my little electronic friend I have been playing around with the zero, installing a Apache web server, SQL and PHP and just having a blast creating network resources and all headless without any extra hardware . This little computer is a great learning aid and for anybody who wants to learn programming, how to configure different Linux based apps etc. and not having to worry about screwing up your main PC/Laptop yes it is not super powerful but if you have played around with computers as long as I have it is a wonder to behold. I am already looking at get some more and also a Pi 4 without out doubt this little piece of electronics is a real inspiration.
PS also controlled it from my mobile phone via SSH :)”
“I'd say 3.5/5 .For me It's painfully slow when used with the
Raspberry Pi OS (32-bit) with desktop, I tried the lighter version (a bit faster) but some programs I wanted to use needed the UI and not only the command prompt. It's perfect to be used with MotioneyeOs for video surveillance as I'm doing now - shame I won't use the GPIO”
“I'm very happy with this little chap. Its sole purpose is to be the brains in a C64 cycle-exact 1541 floppy drive emulator. This makes no use of the WiFi capabilities of this model, so I'm planning on swapping it out for my original Pi Zero when I get the chance.”
