“As someone who was around when Clive Sinclair released the legendary ZX81 computer, I'm constantly impressed by leaps in technology - and the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W definitely qualifies as that. It's tiny, powerful and has connectivity. I'm using this one to power a PiStorm32 to do CPU emulation for my Amiga 1200 computer. The small footprint means that it fits into the limited space available in the trapdoor expansion slot. I have ordered from The Pi Hut before and would recommend them for their quick order turnaround time and customer service. My Pi was well-protected against any knocks that it may have received in the post.”
“Excellent product. I am using these is retro computing projects that others have created. Primarily for the Commodore 64 and the Pi Zero 2 W is powerful enough and less costly and smaller than the PI A or Bs. Also as it uses less power it can be powered by the Commodore 64.”
“This is my first Raspberry Pi computer. I purchased this to replace an ageing Android 2 WM8650 256MB netbook I use as a home web server. My Linux experience is with Slackware, which I have used since v3.0, so I'm new to Debian.
Setup and configuration was simple and I was able to access the Pi Zero 2 W via both VNC and SSH from my laptop without the need for an hdmi monitor or keyboard connected to the Pi Zero.
I've managed to install lighttpd and get a simple home page up and running without any problems. The server will be used for simple static pages without the use of CGI or server side scripting. I may consider adding PHP to the system, or using the pre installed Perl or Python interpreters, some time in the future.
I rather like this tiny headless server and I am considering getting another to run a fossil scm server.”
“Neat piece of kit. I bought this one to build the RGBtoHDMI project. It works a treat converting BBC Model B output to HDMI and allowing me to use a more modern monitor. I also have one running Pwnagotchi. Which allows me to retrieve wifi passwords for users who have forgotten theirs (it happens with age) and while you can reset the password at the router (if they remember the password for that) you spend a lot of time running round resetting every telephone, tv and mobile wifi enabled device to match the new password.”
