I think the 500 500 900 distribution is more of a how the power would be diverted if you had multiple plugged in devices, when you plug one device in, it might be drawing more amperage from that single port, and you really need to use a meter on it to know for sure if in fact the pi will boot from 500 m. That being said, I was super excited as my pi 3b+ died on me I was able to grab 2 of these zero 2 w from the store, still waiting for my mini hdmi to hdmi adapter from the slow delivery option, although I could swear I had a cable with a mini hdmi ... mysterious nowhere to be found. Very excited to see you have retropie working on it.

I got one of those babies off AliExpress - it's nice & even designed in a way that avoids "half keys" at the fold but despite buying one w an Apple layout, my muscle memory seems to be stuck to the Apple BT keyboard. I'm gonna def give it another shot when my zero arrives in a few days!
I did this with a Pi3 too and although it nagged about inufficient power I was able to do what I wanted on the device, including browsing, emailing, office software and acceptable youtube playback. The usb connection on my tv did not have enough power to boot a Pi4 or a Rock Pi X.
Its worth checking out VNC, I use it to control my main Pi and can be done from anywhere in the world without setting up any port forwarding thus cutting down on security risks on your home network
I dunno if you have a bench power supply or not, they pretty handy for showing the current draw. The pi on its own draws very little I know its about 300 ma on a 3a+.
then why is there so much ruckus about using the "official" 2.5A power supply to avoid problems? I was happy to see he was able to run it off the TV like a Chromecast! alleviates the anxiety I was experiencing while waiting for my zero to arrive!
I wish the zero boards were cheaper in my country. They were already overpriced before, but with the arrival of the zero 2, it just tripled the value that was already overpriced before. It's just silly.
I would say I'd like it to be powered by USB C but it wouldn't fit most of the existing Pi Zero cases. I think it's worth losing the USB C power to have it fit in almost all existing Pi Zero cases.
I do hope they upgrade it to USB-C - almost got the Orange Pi Zero for this reason alone & decided if this is gonna be my first Pi, not to cut any corners if I'm really gonna dive in & be supported by a mature ecosystem of documentation, drivers & accessories!

Hey lee can you try minecraft on a raspberry pi 02? You will need to overclock it a bit to get decent performance I get 1570 fps in glxgears And 170 fps in minecraft With these overclock settings arm_freq=1300 gpu_freq=550 sdram_freq=750 gpu_mem=64 over_voltage=14 over_voltage_sdram=14 force_turbo=1 Warning This overclock has really high voltages (which i think could be lowered a little) so please use this at your own risk Oh and sidenote I have no clue if other pi’s can do the same as it took me a while to make my 02 get this stable (OS wise) seems like the gpu driver has issues and it causes the pi to hang up even at stock speeds I also get some cursor corruptions if i move the mouse too fast (again stock speeds) There seems to be a firmware update that includes some files that you need to put in your boot partition That seems to have made my pi more stable (I can’t give links because i think you know what happens if i do :P sorry)
If you give the device a unique hostname you should be able to connect ssh and rdp using the hostname rather than having to look up and remember the IP address.

Could you not power the USB hub with any standard charger and have it power the Pi? That way it would also power anything else on the hub like an external HD.
So I got one and I have a USB multimeter and with a hub and one thumb drive (for terminal copy and pasting commands because It cannot handle Chromium, not even the new 64bit official, running Pi-hole off SD card) attached and it pulls no more than .5amps. Even when it is maxed out (with no overclocking) trying to load the browser.

Very helpful video...thanks mate...hello from Canada.
Oh yeah this is going to be good.
Its worth checking out VNC, I use it to control my main Pi and can be done from anywhere in the world without setting up any port forwarding thus cutting down on security risks on your home network
Which one on the App Store ?
In order to not need to open a port it’s using a proxy with a public IP / Domain ?
VNC is a protocol, not a service. If you didn't require port-forwarding, we don't know which service that is if you don't tell us!
RDP should not require port forwarding if you create a local VPN for your home network to tap into like Wireguard, no?
Awesome still trying to buy mine hopefully by Christmas

Hey lee can you try minecraft on a raspberry pi 02?
You will need to overclock it a bit to get decent performance
I get 1570 fps in glxgears
And 170 fps in minecraft
With these overclock settings
arm_freq=1300
gpu_freq=550
sdram_freq=750
gpu_mem=64
over_voltage=14
over_voltage_sdram=14
force_turbo=1
Warning
This overclock has really high voltages (which i think could be lowered a little) so please use this at your own risk
Oh and sidenote
I have no clue if other pi’s can do the same as it took me a while to make my 02 get this stable (OS wise) seems like the gpu driver has issues and it causes the pi to hang up even at stock speeds
I also get some cursor corruptions if i move the mouse too fast (again stock speeds)
There seems to be a firmware update that includes some files that you need to put in your boot partition
That seems to have made my pi more stable
(I can’t give links because i think you know what happens if i do :P sorry)
Thank you vdo ince
