Aye, the "diagram" shows nothing of the topology. Can the rp2040 run the show with the Zero not even attached? That would be interesting.
Furthermore, there's no radio other than what's on the Zero? That whacks it right into useless territory for me. What's the point of a low-power device if all it has is high-power communication?
My first/only care for this would be a LoRa backpack. Or even some Nordic thing, or BLE, I don't really care, just anything's better than wifi.
- kragen 3y agowell, i think an autonomous computer can be pretty useful. i mean, i used computers for 12 years before i got internet access; the closest i got to networking was dialing up bbses maybe if you had a speaker you could do ultrasonic communication with ble-like range; there are several megahertz of spectrum there that can propagate through air for a few meters, and milliwatts might be adequate. similarly with infrared; historically it's suffered a lot from highly directional interfaces that assume stupid, fragile encoding schemes, but we have enough compute now to do better but yeah a low-power radio would open up a world of possibilities
