You may also like some of my other Raspberry Pi videos -- including this one where I spend a whole week using a Raspberry Pi as my only computer:

I love even 4 years later he still uses the same video format which makes it less jarring watching old videos when you have gotten used to the current video format.

*that feeling u get when u realize ur sd card costs more than ur pc*

[markmoscosa]

Just saying, love his accent and phrases used to describe this little machine.

Insane that this has been out for almost 10 years now.

I discovered you today and after two videos, I have now subscribed. I will be recommending you to anyone who wants general knowledge of these little beauties. Your work is brilliant.

"Setting things up" is at the 3:45 mark, for anyone here for that.

I'm pretty jealous. Zero's are as rare as rubies right now. Good job.

Good to hear you finally got the Zero(s). Nice little boards especially for portable projects.

Dear Mr Barnatt. I was watching a video about sd card speeds and i was wondering if i had an sd card with a U and a 3 inside the u, for example, would it make enough difference to increase a better performance with a raspberry pi or if it isnt enough difference to show any major effects. thanks and i hope to hear from you very soon.

How convenient that I got this recommended right when my Zero 2 W arrived!

I hope to use one of these to make a "roomba" for the machine shop/ first robotics room at my school for the purpose of picking up metal chips.

I've still yet to get my hands on a Raspberry Pi Zero. They sold out almost immediately and have been hard to get since. I shall have to be patient for the next batch release. Great video. I look forward to some projects with this little beast.

How did I miss this one? It's only FIVE DORRA!~

[prabhacar]

I love your hi-res zoom on the device . well done!

[iamatom.]

Sir can I use pi w 2 for learning python which arrived I week ago?

[markmoscosa]

Holly Molly! This is a new interesting game. Definitely a go for a lot of us who didn’t have all the bucks for a PC when students. Who is with me?

[hypercube]

Hey I used the same keyboard for the raspberry pi 3 powered laptop I made few weeks ago

[Rapidhires]

Do you have a video as how can raspberry be used as an STB, even control TV functions using Google Voice?

[LazerLord]

Wait, there's a pi 3? I had no idea!

[stuffiliketodo]

Great video, been following it but I am getting no hdmi output on my Pi zero, I take it I am missing something
