Wifi / Bluetooth Combo USB Dongle?

Since the Pi Zero has only one USB port, has anyone tried to get both Wifi and Bluetooth working off of it? This Cirago Bluetooth 3.0 High Speed and Wi-Fi Combo Mini USB Adapter looks like the perfect size, but unfortunately, is out of stock everywhere :( I found this Bluetooth / WiFi Combination US...

Re: [Help!] White Screen on 2.8" TFT Display w/ Pi Zero/2

So apparently I was being dumb...and didn't know that the pi was actually not hanging... I can communicate with it through SSH, but going through these steps to get RetroPie to work with this display does not work. Still not sure why only the backlight turns on and nothing else. Anyone have experien...

Re: type of solder. having trouble soldering to traces

Usually if it forms a ball on your iron and slides off easily, your iron is too hot. Furthermore you might not be soldering on a friendly surface, try filing down the contact area before attempting to solder.

Re: Wii U Gamepad zero/gamepi project thread

I would be quite surprised if you could fit a full sized Pi 1/2/3 in there without heavily modifying the case to remove that inconveniently placed battery holder. Hopefully it doesn't have to be hacked up too much though, it does seem like the perfect case for a portable gaming system. :D

[Help!] White Screen on 2.8" TFT Display w/ Pi Zero/2

Hello, I've been trying to get this 2.8" TFT Display to work with my Pi Zero and Retropie. The supplier provided me with a Jessie image that is apparently confirmed to work with their display, shown here: http://imgur.com/a/7TmRZ When I use this image, my Pi Zero freezes upon booting every time at S...

Re: Wii U Gamepad zero/gamepi project thread

Interesting project. Would you still use the same battery that fits in the Gamepad? It uses a 2550mAh, 3.6v pack. Should be fine with a Powerboost. Source In the video he holds up both the 7" and 5" display options, I wonder if any of these displays would be of use, since the Wii U Gamepad uses a 6....
