 This message got lost on my project post. Since I need advice I'm reposting here hoping it might be seen. I tried a zero but by the time you opened dash it froze so I upgraded to a 4B. RPI 4 having trouble with the USB C power connector. The USB C end of the short cable is too long to fit in box with the RPI 4 mounted. Even loose in box it strains cable. What I'd give for another 1/2". Can't mount 4. Suggestions? |

Right angle usb c adapter on amazon should do the trick.

They have a 90 up too. That might keep access to hdmi. I still may print 1/2"larger box. I'm a fat fingered fiddler and I use hdmi on my bench.

W,
Learn how to use VNC on the Raspberry Pi. Bye-bye HDMI monitors. I have a dozen pis running here in the lab all with no monitor.

Remote debugging is really awesome and something I highly recommend for Raspberry Pi Python applications.

BP,
I use RDM with Bitvise for my remote access. Truth be told having not arrived at the g-d like status of running more than 3 pis at a time also known as BP level, I have to connect the monitor when I have so hosed something it won't connect to the network like when I cut and pasted exit 0 with a bunch of garbage at the top of rc.local. Lights on but nobody home on the network. One of these days I may level up to to Screwtape Jr level. I have Sky, Hole (Pi-Hole) and Stack (IOStack/Docker) oh not to mention Pi on my desk. I was thinking about trying a banana pi for Sky for smaller form factor.
