These little Pi Zeros are seriously impressive for their size, with it easily out preforming the earlier pi's and with a form factor little bigger than a pi pico or Arduino nano. Ideal for many projects where space is limited, but you need more than a simple micro controller, like for small robots and more.Personally Im using these to run a DMR ham radio hotspot, providing a personal digital repeater connecting between radio and internet, meaning my little hand held radio can talk to the world. this is an impressive bit of kit and it hasn't skipped a beat since it went into use and the entire project is the size of a mint container, including the 3D printed case. it has worked so well that i now have several more of these to build for my other Ham radio ... MoreThese little Pi Zeros are seriously impressive for their size, with it easily out preforming the earlier pi's and with a form factor little bigger than a pi pico or Arduino nano.

Raspberry Pi Zero W

Well made. Low power consumption great for portable projects. The USB tether function is very useful for easy connectivity with SSH. The zero is great if you want improve your knowledge of how computers work. Infinitely customizable with lots of fun projects. I'll probably be buying more to use in a synth project.

I'd been running a VM pinhole but I wanted something that would be running when I first booted and the cheapest option was a pi zero. I intended to install the Pihole headlessly but ended up putting full 32-bit raspbian on it and using a keyboard and mouse via a USB hub was able to have the full computer experience, I even had the Midori browser up and running it was amazingly responsive for such a tiny device. It's currently working to block all my ads and trackers but ill use either it or a second one to carry out several future tasks, camera? flipper zero? water my plants? The skies the limit, hugely impressed.

These are awesome for all kinds of small projects, I've made a few things with them now and plan to make a few more, this is my 3rd Pi zero W and by no means will it be my last!to date I've made:a flight radar to watch the flights in the area (fun with the kids during covid)a pocsag decoder to read pager messegesa cameraa radiothere are a few other things but you get the idea. the more the merrier as far as these go in my house, that way I don't have to keep sharing the Pi zero' between projects (make permanent builds instead)

So far so good! I bought the Raspberry Pi Zero W to teach myself Python. The processor isn't powerful enough to run Chromium which meant I couldn't open the stock software links for projects straight away. I have since found another browser and look forward to getting started. I also bought the accessory kit that came with a metal tin to keep my Pi safe. Everything works perfectly and the delivery was a day earlier than expected. 5/5, I'm very satisfied!

A bit soggy slow, which is fine as long as you are aware. Maybe the Pi Zero 2 W would be better but this one is fast enough for my low power needsMy only disappointment was that there was no setup guidance given and also pre sale it wasn't abvious that I needed to get extra micro-usb -> USB adapter for my keyboard and mouse and a mini-hdmi -> hdmi adapter for the monitorA bit more research beforehand and it would not have been a problem. All working ok now

Received my Pi at last. I have waited a long time for it for all the well-documented reasons(worldwide shortages). It is as expected, a great little device, it will be the heart of my MMDVM hot spot that I am building. So all good and I shouldn't forget to mention how effortless and great buying from Pi-Hut was.Arrived the next day!It was a shame that I couldn't buy a second one but I understand why Pi-Hut put the restriction for.Let's hope that stock levels will be back to normal soon as I am waiting for my Pi4.

It's great, new Raspberry Pi's available. I seem to have been waiting forever to start my latest Audio project which required 3 Pi Zeros to act as WiFi microphones, I had one from a previous project, so was able to show that the basic concept worked. It was great to hear from Pimoroni that they could supply the two that I was missing. I placed the order for the 2, together with Pi cases and adapter kits, and was amazed when they arrived the very next day. All I need now is to be able to purchase a Pi 4 to act as an Audio hub and there will be no stopping me. No doubt who I will be purchasing that from.Dave R.

Here's some heresy. It's Under-powered and frequently overrated but still one of the best available for the price and convenience.The problem is this: for simple jobs the PI simply consumes too much electricity and the multitude Arduino clones are often cheaper, more convenient and (cough, cough) more robust. Plus they don't need a micro SD card and can be programmed in a few seconds via a USB port. Board based the ESP32 for example are available with WiFi and run an ARM chipset at 48Mhz with rudimentary communications (MQTT) and will run on a battery for weeks or even months (they have a deep sleep mode).Many instances where more advanced WiFi is a bonus (torrents, SMB, NFS, etc.) are better suited to more powerful boards which means the Zero gets squeezed into ... MoreHere's some heresy.

One of my Zeros is dedicated PiHole and another to the excellent Batocera for games emulation for these very purposes. You could find some other use but in my experience the Pi Zero is almost a solution without a problem.The need to add extra hardware to do almost anything makes this "low cost" option rather more expensive than it first appears. Soldering a USB hub to the board is possible, and indeed a neater solution if you have the skills, because finding a USB 2 (or 3) hub with microUSB proved problematic and the adapators add both cost and ugly great plugs.It remains one of the cheapest options for a dedicated PiHole box because that only needs a modest amount of performance, a cheap SD card a server OS such DietPi, although I prefer a more pure Debian without the temptation to add stuff you don't need.Also, it's quite possible to make use it for projects where an Arduino would be my first choice simply because Python, being a higher level language than C/C++, needs that extra horsepower.

What an amazing little board! I am a novice with Raspberry Pi things but so far everything I have tried with this has worked. I used the Raspberry Pi utility on my PC to put the 'lite' version of the Raspberry Pi OS on a micro SD card and following the documentation on the Raspberry Pi site have got the wee beastie running headless and can control it, upload scripts etc from my PI 4. Not bad for a total novice.So, I am currently working on a low power camera system for the hedgehog feeding station and all is going well thanks to such a simple board with excellent documention from the manufacturers.One point to note is that I am not familiar with the various sizes of usb, hdmi and camera sockets etc so purchased various adaptors which I have not needed.
