#PiZero2W

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Last christmas I accidantally ripped out the conductor tracks of the UART pins and somehow also destroyed the #i2c bus 1 of a brand new #PiZero2W. Unusable for the project back then.

But yesterday I found a usecase which does not require UART

Attached the #i2c display to the second bus and everything works just fine

Underclocked the pi and now it uses 0.6W in idle with wifi and all peripherals attached!

Lesson: Don't throw away partially broken electronics :)
