“I needed a Raspberry Pi Zero W to connect to an "Audio Injector" A to D card to build a streaming audio source for my radio station. The Raspberry Pi arrived overnight, and the audio card was fitted immediately. I loaded a micro SD card with Raspbian Lite, added the soundcard drivers and Darkice - the streaming audio programme. After a few minutes work, I had a working streaming source. I fitted the electronics into a small plastic box, with a power socket and a pair of "phono" sockets for the audio.
On start-up, the Raspberry Pi starts Raspbian and then attaches itself to the studio wi-fi network. The Darkice application then starts after wi-fi has been established, and it begins to send whatever audio is fed to it!
The whole project cost”
“Good for simple projects, but when I added an audio hat, tried to hook it up to the internet and control it remotely through my Mac, the performance dropped, which is something the larger pi could easily handle. Still brilliant for what it is!”
“Good product, quick delivery and a good soldering job.
However despite putting two in my basket only one was delivered. Having since looked through the website I notice on some of the raspberry pi zero products they state 'Please Note - Due to high demand and low stock levels, this product is strictly one per customer. Orders for more than one unit will result in order cancellation'. Its a real shame that such a reputable supplier cant be constant on their main sales platform! This has now left me in an annoying situation where I now need to source an additional raspberry pi from another supplier to complete me project. They were more than happy to sell me the additional SD card though!”
“Excellent service from ordering to delivery, hassle free and item arrived within a couple of days from Order. These devices are the future, This one is use for monitoring the flow and return pipes from the underfloor heating and has 12 digital sensors fitted to it. They are quick and easy to setup, and once setup just clone the SD card for a backup.”
