Overview

The [https://www.seeedstudio.com/WuKong-Board-H3-Zero-p-5706.html?queryID=832105c54a06eba9d66cece4bb4b1317&objectID=5706&indexName=bazaar_retailer_products

WuKong H3 Zero] is kind of like a small Pi 2, it has the same 4 core Cortex A7 and an ethernet jack.

But it has a 26 pin header, like a Pi 1, plus a 13 pin single row connector for "other stuff".

I was ordering parts direct from Seeed and on a whim, ordered one of these. $20 so not a special deal.

?? How does this board compare to a regular Pi Zero or Zero 2 ?? It will be faster than a Pi Zero W, but it has less RAM. It has a GPU but no HDMI connector. (Huh? :-) 45x48mm footprint so it's not going to fit in any Pi case.

Using a 26 pin connector means you can't plug in a modern Pi Hat. I happened to have a prototyping kit in my junk drawer from a Pi 1 though. :-)
