“Bought this to be a remote management node for a Meshtastic node i am installing in my loft. Arrived quickly and booted with no issues with Raspberry OS. Luckily I will be just using it headless without a GUI as the new versions of Chromium etc just don't run on this board, I increased the swap and changed some other settings but it is just too underpowered for the latest versions of software. But at its reduced price and for my requirements it is ideal.”
“The product arrived promptly and came in a neat little box. There was a lot of useful information on the site to how to set it up. A brilliant product overall.”
“Excellent, dependable, speedy next day delivery from The Pi Hut, as always. The Pi 3 A+ is a great step up from the current Pi Zero 2 W for small projects that need to be USB powered - a slightly larger form factor and the same RAM, but 1.4Ghz CPU instead of 1Ghz and 5Ghz WiFi instead of 2.4Ghz. I have the Pi 3 A+ running off a standard 5v 2.4A USB port, and have even had it going on 5v 0.9A (although the voltage warning flashes) with no peripherals attached. I have it running Ubuntu Server 24.04 headless, and acting as an always-on Tailscale exit node over 5Ghz WiFi (which the Zero 2 W doesn't support, being only 2.4Ghz) and serving a few other lightweight things. All finished off in a nice passive cooling Geekcom case. Thanks to the Pi Hut for their reliable service!”
