Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W (Wireless / Bluetooth) 2021 (RPi Zero 2W)

Great little computer, very fast WiFi. This is a great little unit for small projects that you want to save space on

Raspberry Pi's are well known devices in the maker space. I used this to add Wifi to an old Prusa Mk3s printer. It works flawlessly and was as easy as I expected it to be. I have a lot of experience with boards like the Raspberry Pi and in spite of the prices lately they are still the most well supported, documented, and compatible devices on the market. Can't go wrong with RPi.

I bought this again because the first one I bought already had pins soldered to it and I wanted to make a project as compact as possible. I love all Raspberry Pis and this one really doesn't need much review. It does exactly what it is supposed to do, without all the extras. If you don't need pins, grab this. If you need pins, grab this and some pins or just grab the one they sell with the pins. Really doesn't matter. Just buy it if you need it (Or want it - It is cheap enough to be able to buy one almost every week if you don't get your overpriced coffee and avacado toast!).

Worked well for running octoprint.

Purchased as a gift. It is perfect and worked well.

I matched this Pi Zero 2 W board up with Geeek Pi Pi Zero 2 W case, 16 Gb SanDisk microSD card and a six inch CableCreation USB A - USB Micro data cable to make a Android Auto appliance for my wife's 2017 Chevy Volt. I flashed a custom Android Auto with OS image onto the microSD from the GitHub project in order to provide the wireless connection to my wife's Pixel 6a phone. The Pi Zero 2 W connects to one of two USB ports in the Chevy Volt console are just forward of the transmission shifter. Everything worked great although it took a little effort to get the Chevy Volt head unit to swap over to the Pi Zero 2 W for Android Auto. This was during the initial phase when the Pixel 6a was connected to the top Volt USB port and the Pi Zero 2 W was connected to the bottom. The phone easily connected to the Pi via Bluetooth; it just took a couple of iterations for the Chevy head unit to accept the Pi as an Android Auto source. After that, other than a 10-20 second delay for the Pi to finish it's Chevy handshake after startup everything works great. My wife loves using Google Maps. Phone and SiriusXM via Android Auto and the speech recognition works very well for her. Happy wife, happy life! I only held one star back as I can't say how durable this setup will be but it's holding up well so far.

Small raspberry pi, had a specific project in mind, but will try other things also. got a basic kit that comes with other accessories also.

Prefect for the 3d printers that don't have a wifi. You can use OctoPrint
