There are a couple of options - the most obvious is the RPi monitor and case (7¡± touchscreen - you can even type on it if you have small fingers). I saw something on Kickstarter the other day about

Hello all,
I'm still pretty new to the RPI screen. I have the Raspberry Pi 4 with 4gb RAM. The main reason why I got the RPI 4 is for portable radio operations. I love to do digital modes and I use a

Re: RPi-zero 2 W heat issues
I just checked (left the rig so I could access it remotely with VNC) and it is 35% or less on the CPU running Fldigi, but not much to decode right now. With WSJT-X it sits at around 10% and jumps to

Re: RPi-zero 2 W heat issues
what trends in CPU usage are you seeing with top while running fldigi vs
other software? is it constantly at 40% CPU?

Re: RPi-zero 2 W heat issues
Indeed, the FLRIC case is the one, dissipates the heat, does the job.

Re: Install problem w/putty
You don't need to run putty with sudo. Also, if you need to ssh to other
machine you can use ssh as a command:
ssh some.host
and putty isn't needed here :)

Re: Install problem w/putty
So, first question is why are you installing putty? SSH is already installed and the default secure shell.
The error is a problem with the GTK toolkit and a quick Google search shows:

Re: RPi-zero 2 W heat issues
I switched to the aluminum FLIRC Pi-zero case and my problem is solved! With continuous FLdigi use the temperature of the processor is not getting over 115F (46C) and no more shutdowns. That is a very

Re: Heat sinks

Copper has about 40% better heat conduction, but the heat sink to air conduction is about the same so with the small size and large surface

Re: Heat sinks
It comes with two interchangeable tops. One has a higher clearance to clear a heat sink, but it doesn't include the heat sink.

Re: Heat sinks
The issue/problem is with a RPi zero 2 W overheating, whereas this case specifies that it is for a RPi 4. Totally different case requirements. However, this case DOES SHOW it is for a zero 2 W, and it

Re: Heat sinks
have you seen the FLIRC case?
It makes a marvelous heat sync, is quiet and looks good.
The downsides of it is access to internal connectors requires opening the case, and the WiFi / Bluetooth

Heat sinks
Maybe "up your heat sink" game:
Use a copper, rather than an aluminum heat sink. It transfers heat more efficiently.
Fins are only effective if you are using a cooling fan to move the air around.

Re: RPi-zero 2 W heat issues
Some good ideas here. Note, I have more than enough speed to run Fldigi and WSJT-X with the zero 2...no issues with that and I think there is some excess capability, which is why I was thinking of

Re: RPi-zero 2 W heat issues
Hello Vic,
Makes sense since it's basically a Rpi v1 with a single old ARM v6L core but without HDMI, wired Ethernet, etc.
It's basically a depopulated Raspberry Pi 3 with less RAM. I'm surprised

Re: RPi-zero 2 W heat issues
I got a 14 mm square aluminum heat sink and placed it on my Raspberry PI
Zero 2 W. I do not seem to be having issues. My case has plenty of
ventilation.
