The TLDR missing from that page—the Zero 2 uses the SoC from the Raspberry Pi 3 with a slight downclock.

Little bit of shame it doesn&#x27;t support 5GHz Wifi and BLE 5 when even Espressif will soon support both. But still nice package.

Fantastic, ordered one to use (hopefully) as a drop in replacement for the GPi case(for context - the GPi case is a Gameboy form factor case with integrated buttons and screen that uses the zero as the &quot;brain&quot; of the system. It&#x27;s great for emulation, but the Zero could struggle with some games, hopefully this one will work a lot better :-) )

I’ve never really been happy about power for boards like this.<p>Is there something much much lighter that can run off a CR2032? For some applications all one really needs is zigbee for access, or something like that.<p>Or the alternative is a Pi-like with POE. Last time I did that with a Pi it involved a relatively expensive “hat” which felt suboptimal.

I wish this had more RAM and at least a USB-C to boot off of: it&#x27;d be pretty nice for singular use cases.<p>I&#x27;d replace the Pi 4 in my 3D printer controller with one and use that Pi 4 for a bunch of other things since they&#x27;re impossible to find outside of scalpers in my country now. :&#x2F;

Would it be feasible to build a whole cluster of these for compute power?

There&#x27;s already reviews out there: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;Jm8RiqAdHQE" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;Jm8RiqAdHQE</a>

The US vendors linked on the official site sold out in less than an hour...really wish they enforced a limit per person like pihut did. Anyone else starting to notice that buying any new tech on launch with enthusiast levels of hype (the past 2 years, even prior to the supply chain slowdown) requires spinning up a bot?

I’ve used Raspberry Pi to build an always-on midi recorder for my electric piano (in Rust), which was super useful. Having to have a power supply is the ugliest part, I would say, otherwise it has been a fantastic help.

Does anyone know if this model supports USB boot? The previous ones did not, and since there’s no info about it in the official post, I assume that’s the case with Zero 2 as well.

What&#x27;s the supply situation for Raspberry PIs? Not just this one but the other models.

incredible. i spent the last 2 weeks trying to overclock my rpi zero. amen

will these work with the Turing pi @geerlingguy
