“This cheap little board provides the performance of a Pi3B+, but has fewer ports. It's really good for embedded projects, and I've connected my 5V supply directly to the board to remove the need for a USB C connector.
It was quite easy (with a hot air rework station) to add a sub-miniature RF socket and disconnect the on-board WiFi aerial. This allowed me to house the Pi Zero2 in a small diecast aluminium box, with an external WiFi aerial.
As usual, setting the Pi up to use SSL and loading the required software on to the SD card took just a few minutes.
It's simply a "cut-down" Pi3B+”
“Pi zero 2 w used to replace pi zero in a 'Jumbo - pistar' Hotspot.
Noticeable improvement - 27>40 Seconds boot time instead of 70>80 Seconds.
SKU: 103391 - Ceramic heat sink used on new PI 2 exact fit on CPU and keeps the cpu at 42'c when the Hot spot is in use (No pun ment - :) )
Pi zero 2 W was used to replace the original pi zero in a 'Jumbo - pistar' Hotspot after GPIO header soldered on.
Noticeable improvement - 27>40 Seconds boot time instead of 70>80 Seconds.
SKU: 103391 - Ceramic heat sink used on new PI zero 2 - fits perfectly as it is the same size as the CPU.
And Yes - I know I could have used a Metal heatsink - as the heatsink is only fixed in place with a sticky pad - if the Ceramic heatsink ever came off no damage would be done or shorting out the PI Zero or MMDVM HAT board, as a Metal heatsink would cause. M5YRG”
“Rasberry Pi Zero 2
This is my first Zero and I have to say it is a great little Pi, I have had a Pi from day one and love the way it has gone.
The Pi Zero 2 I have it installed into a Retroflag GPI Case and clock speed running Recalbox and it is working so well playing Roms.
I have ordered my second Zero 2 to see and use as a desktop and to play around with it is just a great size Pi and I have lots of ideas of how to use it, I will just see how it goes.
The only downside I can say at the minute is the ram size, But that is it.”
“A much needed upgrade to the pi zero w. I've used it to upgrade the pi in my pimoroni pirate radio kit and it's given it a new lease of life! It's much more responsive and I've jet to come across any issues with playback.”
