I normally (never) use PiZero since it requires more money, size, and knowledge to use them. I like using WeMos/LoLin/ESP8266/ESP32 for all my projects. As for a USB Host, it’s a premade board. So, $20 for usb and controller As with many things in life, there often exists several paths that can arrive at the same solution... I also tend to focus more on 'controllers' rather than 'mini-computers' (ie Pi) because I usually need to bit-bang interface to random hardware boards and I'm really not the biggest linux guy lol. BUT, everything has it's place - a Pi Zero 2W with WiFi, BT, hdmi & composite video, usb, microSD drive, etc can be had for under $20 - they are frequently complete overkill for many of my use cases but often the most inexpensive solution compared to controller boards. That said, growing up with 6502 my heart will always be 8 bit ;-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
