The Orange Pi Zero is a great little concept. However a major weakness is its very bad WIFI. If the OrangePI hardware devs do a respin, they should consider using a ESP32. The reason is its actually open source programmable and not locked down like the majority of radios, and would also give Bluetooth in addition to wifi. Also, if its IO was tied in parallel to the expansion connector with the H2+/H3/H5 it would give the board a real time coprocessor (without needing kernel drivers) and also analog IO capabilities. Its just a suggestion, but a OrangePI zero with a esp32 wireless device would be a killer IOT board. (even if it costs more than $8). |
