Raspberry Pi Zero and DATV

Post by M0LDZ » Tue Dec 15, 2015 5:11 pm

I don't know how many people in the community are aware of this, but you can now get Raspberry Pi for £4 !! It's called the Zero, but although it's cheap, it's also rather strangled at birth in that the camera port isn't available on a header. In fact there doesn't seem any way to get at the connections for it (anyone got a handy X-Ray machine?) so use of the Pi camera seems off the agenda. However it might still be handy, for replaying recorded material into the DTX1 TS Dock board - such as a test card or similar - or indeed any of the other offerings which use the Pi for DATV.

I wonder if anyone thinks it might be useful in this respect? For £4 it seems a real bargain.

Been using the Pi Zero as a testcard generator, but now been side tracked looking at the new Raspberry Pi 3 :D
