RE: How To Automate Your Curation With A $5 Pi Zero, A Micro SD Card and USB Cable

in #automation • 8 years ago (edited)

@smysullivan, I may have misunderstood what you were asking. If you wanted to setup using the usb as a data+power port, that's not possible on a regular pi. This trick works because the pi zero has a micro usb data port, and a micro usb power port. The regular pi's only have a micro usb power port and regualr USB ports that is not tied to power on the pi

    That is ok, your explanation was good for me, I love technology, just have not worked with the pi, so I had simply guessed it should work to automate from my pi, and you said enough that told me I would be able to, plan on trying this out soon.
