derez Expert Licensed User Longtime User Nov 4, 2016 #4 What I succeeded to do with it: - Connect to network by cable - Connect two USB Hard Disks and let my soon browse them from abroad with SSH. - Control GPIO but only outputs, like leds or motors. Failed to read inputs. What I didn't succeed : - Connect with WIFI dongle - Hear music - Take pictures with webcam - run KODI I guess any of these may be possible but how much time can you invest in searching and not getting answers ? There is no real support...

Failed to read inputs. Click to expand... I just got a Orange Pi Zero and trying to work out how to interface B4J with it. There is a micro USB (for power) LAN Port (for network) USB (I guess for interfacing with USB devices, like reading/writing USB memory sticks) SD-Card Slot. (for OS?) I am guessing I need to install a Linux OS on the SD card and plug it in. (I just downloaded the ubuntu_server_1604_For_OrangePi-zero_v0_8_1.img.xz image) I noticed there is a 13 pin header. I am guessing I need to plug in a LCD screen into one of those pins in order to view the OS? Any idea which LCD screen I need to purchase ? Last edited: Dec 20, 2016

Bugger.. was hoping you would say you have used the Zero before. I guess I will have to purchase a LCD screen and hope for the best it works. The zero is so tiny and if I can get it to work it will be a great little board to work with.

See post #2, I would not invest good money for LCD, you'll get disappointed. At least read all the orangepi forum about it before you invest more money. I tried to find the documentation for the zero and found almost nothing, not a word for how to connect to TV. Last edited: Dec 20, 2016
