“As expected, but slightly underpowered for my project: I've upgraded to a pi 4b to run volumio. However I intend to use this for another project as it seems a waste not to.
Great value, quick delivery and well packaged.”
“Very competent piece of kit, robustly made. 512MB of memory is severely limiting for on-line applications (including a browser - isn't there a smaller one than Chrome/Firefox?). The mounting holes could usefully be placed on a 0.1" grid to facilitate mounting over a standard PCB, and they should be 3mm diameter to suit standard stand-offs.
GPIO is briliant, but I haven't been able to get SPI to work. Likewise can't get PI Connect or SSH to work. Generally, docu on the Pi range and its software is appalling - distributed over umpteen locations, un-coordinated or indexed, and it all starts half-way through, ie it assumes the user is already fully familiar with the OS, Linux and jargon.”
