Instead of doing what I showed in the video to enable ssh, you can instead just place a file named 'ssh', without any extension, onto the boot partition of the SD card.

Hak5-"where tf is all our money going!?"
Darren- *smokes cigarette* "its that damn Seytonic guy we sent the free stuff to, he's making cheap knock offs"

I like this format of video, it's nice to see the process as someone who is not as proficient as others

4:09 Dude tin your wires please. ITS so Much easier if you do trust me I have some experience with some bricked Drone flight controllers

Wanted to comment and say, thanks for this. I did the exact same thing but i change things up a little and made it more like a SharkJack.
First, i got a pisurgar. Then i got the USB Ethernet adaptor and soldered it on.

Just a random quirk I encountered: You HAVE to use a "model 9700" USB to ethernet adapter to get it working on Linux. Any other CHEAP USB adapter requires obscure and mostly obsolete drivers. The only other option is to use one from the certified adapters list.

Rosin flux is your best friend when you're soldering. That will fix the issues you're having with the solder not flowing to the contact points on the board very easily.

you could add a switch to the positive wire of the eth dongle, allowing you to use usb port when needed.

Seems to me someone's got a little hot glue addiction :D Nevertheless, nice job, nice video!

In regards to soldering, it is better to use a slightly hotter soldering iron than a colder one, the reason has to time. With a colder iron you have to keep the iron on the joint longer doing more damage to the pads or components than you will with a hotter iron for a shorter length of time.

Great job on the video and the build. Curious why you did not hook up the usb to the computer. You could have set it up like the real lan turtle that allows traffic to route. This design requires an additional network cable or else the computer will not work that you plug it into.

Your Pi Zero has the same local IP as my home computer, COINCIDENCE, I THINK NOT!

BTW to enable SSH before hand on raspian/armbian images just add file called ssh into the root of the SD card. So far that has worked with everything I've got (raspberry, banana, and orange pi)

So that's just "touch /path/to/device/ssh" on any *nix systems

[philipm]

great work . If you have not pissed off Hak5 by now, this might :)

[MontanaEthicalHackers]

In regards to soldering, try drinking heavily and swinging a hot soldering iron around by the cord whilst naked. Lot of people had ideas. I'm just sharing mine. Equally valid.

[hcashmore]

6:28 you can create a fiel called ssh with no extension in notepad which is just empty and put it on the boot partition on Windows too, to enable SSH :)

[terrabys]

Can't wait for MalDuino!!! Great job man!

[ragedigital]

Don't rely on the flux from the solder - that's your problem. I recommend DeoxIT Brand Soldering Flux. You'll need to clean it with 91% alcohol afterwards, but the stuff works great.

Instead of hardwiring the USB Ethernet adapter to the Pi Zero, use the usb_ethernet fuction for reassigning what the usb port says it does. This way you dont even need the USB Ethernet adapter, and can instead use a normal Micro USB Cable.

did You solded the 4 cables - 2 positive and 2 negative on the same area? right? so this "input" send energy to pi and at the same time energize the Rj45 input, right? tem You could simple sold the Rj45 (+) (-) on the USB plug...directly on its cables instead of pi board?
