UPDATE: I have my RasPi Zero W running nicely as a headless system w/ Raspian.
WiFi range seems adequate, especially considering the antenna is integrated into the PC board. I run VNCserver on the Pi, and connect from one of my systems (no monitor or keyboard on the Pi) Power consumption w/ AC adapter is quite low, perhaps 1watt based on my low-resolution AC-line monitor. GPIO speed, using wiringPi and a compiled C program gave a max frequency of 5Mhz on a single pin. I'm going to explore speeds using serial and parallel modes in the coming days. At first glance, it seems to be adequate for use with serial driver chips like the HVxxxx series family. It took very little effort to install wiringPi and get the GPIO working; worked on my first attempt! I'm satisfied to the point I wont pursue Arduino anymore. Having a $10 Linux-based platform that I can log into wirelessly & remotely is really incredible. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
