History
2024-09-21: case - I printed a case for it, from printables: Orange Pi Zero 2W Case. The fit was almost perfect, one corner of the bottom refuses to snap in, but I can live with that.
2024-09-21: housekeeping - I manually moved & merged files from microcontrollers to machines section, then I went into the output directory, microcontrollers subdirectory and manually
issued a git rm -r command to remove the old Orange Pi 2W stuff there. Hopefully the next push will pick up those changes as well. Update: yes, that worked.
2023-11-07: got a mini HDMI to HDMI adapter (short cable) in the mail today, with that I can connect up the Orange Pi Zero 2W. Connections:
- 1 x mini HDMI to HDMI adapter, connected to a HDMI cable (connected to my monitor)
- 1 x usb C to USB A adapter (I used the one from work laptop), connected to a small USB (A) hub, keyboard and mouse connected to it
- 1 x usb C cable connected to a USB power adapter 5V 2.4A
2023-11-05: unfortunately, I'm missing a mini HDMI to HDMI cable (or adapter). I've ordered some cables now.
