SmallPi: A tiny Raspberry Pi Zero-based camera #PiDay @HacksterIO @Raspberry_Pi
Funcron’s SmallPi packs a Raspberry Pi Zero W, display, battery, and more into a very compact rectangular computer with a camera and wireless keyboard.
Parts:
Raspi Zero W (couldn’t get a Zero 2, but may upgrade).
I’ll eventually design and 3d print a case for it. Battery lasts about 4 hours doing light work (SSH sessions, file transfers/edits, etc.). Haven’t tried running make on anything yet, to see how long it’ll stay alive for while doing stuff. Not sure if I’ll actually use the joystick and buttons, but I’m looking into make a small GUI to display stuff like available WiFi’s, battery percentage, and USB port identification (for devices) & directories (for data transfer).
