      The new ones are power hungry expensive monsters anyway. There are cheaper clones out there and I had pretty much decided never to pay for the gucci brand anymore.

        I’ve had lots of fun with the very affordable Pi Zero 2w. Will pick up a few more before they disappear.

          Can you hook up a screen to those and run python?

            Yes indeed.

            The last project I did with one was build a moon and tide clock - all written in python with a motor controller, external display and individually addressable led lighting.

            They’re also great as diy audio streaming devices for whole home audio.

              Excellent! The (cheap) i96 pi had all but a video output so I never got it to work…

              Cool project, how do you display the tide (upcoming, there, outgoing etc)? Do you have some battery to the clock or how do you set the date/time?

              Edit : is it some sort of regular python (3?) or some tiny-python?

              Edit2: no ethernet 😭?
