“Surprising performance for such a small form factor. Excellent solution for an easy route to getting an embedded project prototyped quickly for proof of concept. Collecting data and serving it up to client web browser for so little cash AND at only a little more than 1W power consumption? Priceless!
I know there's cheaper ways to do this, and for mass production it'd totally make sense to go lower level and put the work in, but the convenience of this device for bespoke solutions is really hard to beat.
I already had a small fleet of Pi Zero 2W's doing various little jobs around the local network for personal projects, familiarity helps a lot. I might be a bit slow on the uptake, but I've found it a bit painful dealing with headless set up. Finding the right info online for headless setup with the latest version of Pi OS Lite seemed rather difficult, but maybe I just suck at searching these days. Hey ho, figured it out eventually!”
