REVIEWS Pi Zero HAT
Waveshare PoE USB Hub
Les Pounder always enjoys riding on the top deck of a double-decker bus. And this PoE HAT for the Zero is a double-decker bus for ants.
IN BRIEF
Waveshare’s PoE HAT for the Raspberry Pi Zero is compatible with all but the earliest models of Zero, and it works without any software or hardware modifications. The ‘double decker’ design looks a little cumbersome, but it does grow on you. We get Power over Ethernet, three USB 2.0 ports and 100 Base-T Ethernet speeds, all in the Zero form factor.
Those four gold pogo pins provide data and power connectivity to the Pi Zero. We even get three full-size USB ports on the top deck.
