Actually, not on these boards -

They _do_ have USB functionality, but it would make the whole setup bigger and bulkier.
If size is everything I suppose there's less choice, but a pi zero W seems a lot cheaper.
Size isn't everything, but it is an important factor. I didn't know about the pi zero w, looks neat. I don't think the single cpu is much of an issue, but I wonder about the lack of (possibility for) an external wifi aerial. I do have a Raspberry running too, but wlan reception is pretty good where it is sat. The nanos require an external aerial.

Pricewise, the pi zero w is 30 with a 24pin header, I might have to take a closer look.
Eh, 30 what? It's £13 or $14 with header, which is 40-pin BTW. Another possibility is to use an Arduino-based board or similar. There are various boards like https://www.banggood.com/Wireless-NodeMcu-Lua-CH340G-V3-Based-ESP8266-WIFI-Internet-of-Things-IOT-Development-Module-For-Arduino-p-1420166.html?rmmds=buy&cur_warehouse=CN Then connect sensors to it and transmit the data to a bigger system somewhere more convenient and store the data there. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
