I once again received requests to when will I again publish "What is in the Box?" Since I published the last posting there were several boxes received with "toys" in it. I do not like to publish every single electronic item I bought or receive. However it seems that this is quite a popular topic and that readers would like to see more of these posts. Please note that I do not publish these to brag or boast about but purely out of interest to readers.
For quite some time it was rather difficult to lay one's hands on certain Raspberry Pi's at reasonable prices. This is still the case today. Thankfully I was able to obtain a Raspberry Pi Zero W from my favorite emporium. Now this was a great relief to see that Raspberry Pi stock is being replenished slowly but surely. Lets hope that other none available models will soon be available at reasonable prices. With some shops asking absorbent prices it is better to order from Amazon which works out cheaper than buying locally. Then many want to know why we do not support and buy local. If the price is reasonable you will be supported otherwise you will have to face the music of going under.
What do I have in mind for this Raspberry Pi Zero W? Well hear is a few ideas:
- Digital Radio HotSpot - Replacing the old Raspberry Pi Zero that does not have WiFi.
- See if I can get SvxLink going on this model
- Using it to track Aircraft - Flight Radar
- Setting up a Weather Cam using the unit with a Raspberry Pi Camera
Once again I have not decided but will keep you posted in this regard. Just follow the GRHub Network Blog for updates.
