It is so simple that my 5yr old will understand, thanks for such good video.

Finally someone who hasn't omitted some of the essential basics. I haven't tried this yet but other pi zero 2w videos all seem to hit a point where I realised lack of clearly explained stuff was going to cause a few days' more delay. Thanks.

Thanks for mentioning that 5ghz will not work. Definitely a deal killer that alot people get wrong (including me last night installing for the first time.) Still true Aug 2024

Nice! I didn't realise that the zero 2 can be powered from the data USB connection.

[ShanLiuGBM]

I think the 500 500 900 distribution is more of a how the power would be diverted if you had multiple plugged in devices, when you plug one device in, it might be drawing more amperage from that single port, and you really need to use a meter on it to know for sure if in fact the pi will boot from 500 m. That being said, I was super excited as my pi 3b+ died on me I was able to grab 2 of these zero 2 w from the store, still waiting for my mini hdmi to hdmi adapter from the slow delivery option, although I could swear I had a cable with a mini hdmi
... mysterious nowhere to be found. Very excited to see you have retropie working on it.

Thank you Lee. This came along just when I needed it. I haven’t successfully installed everything but now I have hope that I may succeed in the end. Love your channel!

What a great use of a Pi, definitely would try this out when I get my hands on one

[anon_y_mousse]

I like that folding keyboard. I think I'll make that one of my first purchases once I'm finally in the new house.

[DIY_Donkey]

Its worth checking out VNC, I use it to control my main Pi and can be done from anywhere in the world without setting up any port forwarding thus cutting down on security risks on your home network

[DoctorOnkelap]

I did this with a Pi3 too and although it nagged about inufficient power I was able to do what I wanted on the device, including browsing, emailing, office software and acceptable youtube playback. The usb connection on my tv did not have enough power to boot a Pi4 or a Rock Pi X.

Very helpful video...thanks mate...hello from Canada.

[seanriley]

Awesome still trying to buy mine hopefully by Christmas

[leonoliveira]

I wish the zero boards were cheaper in my country. They were already overpriced before, but with the arrival of the zero 2, it just tripled the value that was already overpriced before. It's just silly.

[declanmcardle]

I've just ordered the BT keyboard.
Now you've said you prefer the other keyboard....oh dear...

[CompanyBusinessCards]

240gb internal storage, I had to double check that, haha
That was your D drive

[BillyNoMates]

Leepsvideo, I have this same keyboard on my PI and find the double tap to click is hit and miss.
How do you configure the fold up keyboard to work reliably with double tap to click ?

[RixtronixLAB]

Nice video clip, keep it up, thank you :)

[cobberdig]

I dunno if you have a bench power supply or not, they pretty handy for showing the current draw. The pi on its own draws very little I know its about 300 ma on a 3a+.

Hi I got a pi zero 2w some time back. But could never get the pi OS install app ( Imager ) to work on my laptop, the latop OS is ubuntu 18.4, Imager installed but could not write to my internal sd card reader writer even though it worked OK !. Every time when trying to write to my SD card, Imager reported - sd card not found. So my pi zero 2w sits in its box unused.

[MaikeLDave]

Please Lee, this new Raspberry is screaming for an Hyperion use!
