--0000000000005f40a00627d7b845 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable ---> I'm personally working on a phone-adjacent project... Hello Robert, We are working on the same project. ---> with a Waveshare board... Which one ? ---> and likely a Pi Zero 2 W. After having looked for a better SOC we have ended using the Pi Zero 2W. For a start it's ok. Even though there aren't so many alternatives at the moment. Are you a developer ? Tell me something more about your technical choices. Which display do you want to use ?
