Re: Raspberry Pi Zero: the $5 computer
#373Arduino Uno for $2, NodeMCU for $3, RPi for $5... please let this trend continue. A year or two, and we'll basically have computronium - simple dev boards powerful and cheap enough to just tile your house with them. I've recently figured out that there's no point in designing your own PCB for placing sensors at home, when you can get an Arduino and an ESP8266 for $5; add power (and some ~$0 of voltage regulation) and…
Even more awesome: Skip the extra Arduino and use the ESP8266 as your Arduino. https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino

Make sure you are connecting the 5V power supply to the PWR IN port, not the USB port.
Yes I did connected to the usb power in not on the other general purpose usb. Can someone tell if only connecting the power supply would light the green led (no sdcard) ?

#377I'm confused: they say it's $5 but at Adafruit (one of the places where USAians can buy it), the cheapest are the Raspberry Pi Zero Starter Pack and the Raspberry Pi Zero Budget Pack, priced at $59.95 and $29.95, respectively.

Looks like your link broke walmarts website. Don't expect that from larger companies...

#379> Today, I’m pleased to be able to announce the immediate availability of Raspberry Pi Zero, made in Wales and priced at just $5.

Re: Raspberry Pi Zero: the $5 computer
#380So for the price of a $1000 pc I could get 200 of these. What would be great experiments for them?
>What would be great experiments for them? Donating them to school computer clubs and seeing what teenagers do with them.
In the mean time, I found out about Beowulf clusters, highly interesting!
