How can we make out of the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 a daily driver SBC which fit’s in our pocket?

Last Updated on July 3, 2024 by pg@petergamma.org

The problem is not the zero 2 w SBC:

But the battery to run it 24 * 7 at full load, which is a 20 000 mAh power bank:

But we found here a very helpful review from PiCockpit:

This review confirms more or less our tests. But we can choose 4 x 5 000 mAh wich run according to Picockpit each 6 hours 54 minutes for device which needs to run 24 “* 7 :

  • This is acceptable and should result in a device which fit’s in our pocket.
  • And also a device which requires to change 4 x a day to change the battery is acceptable.
  • Very helpful to optimize the battery draw further is the above review.
  • I am currently putting a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 setup together.
  • I found that a HDMI to USB capture card for such a device is not such an issue.
  • We can wrap the cable around the device a bit, and if I look at my setup, this should not be too much of a problem.
  • A direct ethernet cable connection would most probably be better, and we will have later on a look at that.

Here the discussion in the Raspberry Pi forum about Rasberry Pi connect without ethernet:

  • But since I am a physiologist and not a soft- and hardware developer, I let this be for the time being.
  • There was once a YouTube video maker from India who had a direct ethernet connection between Raspberry Pi and Android phone to use is as a screen previously.
  • But he then changed to the HDMI to usb capture card solution as well.
  • Maybe someone else pick’s it up again sooner or later.

With a 5 000 mAh and a smartphone which has a screen size of about 7 inch:

this setup should fit in a phone pocket as the Pinephone does.

Information for product sellers who do stock market speculation and scalping with products mentioned by Peter Gamma on www.petergamma.org

According to the little experience of Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org, many of the products listed here are still full of issues which need to be resolved. If you do stock market speculation and scalping with those, you will loose Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org as a buyer of these products and as a reviewer. Is this not risky? Will you not loose a majority of your costumers as well?

And is it not so, that society in general does not accept stock market speculation and scalping with products as those which are listed here? And will you not be politically incapable of finding a majority of the voters if you do stock market speculation and scalping with these products?

And as a consequence will you not be condemned and punished by a political referendum soon? Especially if you do this to a Swiss, since are not majority of Swiss against stock market speculations and scalping with people on a budget? And people in Switzerland are known for a lot of political referendums, since we have direct democracy in this country.

And Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org will fight up to the European Court of Human Rights against people who do stock market speculation and scalping with the products which are mentioned on www.petergamma.org. And if they do not have yet the legal basis there to do so, he will fight for it.

What is a scalper?

A scalper is someone who buys something and resells it at a price far above the initial cost. For instance some says: “He got theater tickets through a scalper”: Someone who buys tickets to an event in order to resell them at a profit. And is it not also scalping if you take reviews from this site to make out of it a new product offer, and sell it for a higher price? We doubt that you will be successful with it. Since Peter Gamma will review your product and will user not come back to www.petergamma.org after that?
