How to Put an Ethernet Port on Pi Zero #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi
From RasPi.TV:
The Pi Zero attracted a huge amount of attention, which is great for the educational mission of the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Whenever a new product is released, people air their opinions in the forums on what they would have liked it to have.
One of the most common “I wish it had”s was an ethernet port. There are reasons why ethernet was not included. The two most obvious ones are cost and board size (it would have almost doubled the size of the Zero)
Well the obvious solution would be to buy a B model Pi. B+ is fairly inexpensive these days, but also the Pi2 B has ethernet.
The other option, that we’re going to cover today, is to add an external ethernet port using the SPI pins on the Pi.
What could this be then? WJDK. Something plucked from the ether perhaps? Add £3 to your #PiZero's net value? pic.twitter.com/0fcDEKqYdj
