Whilst there’s a little deviation in the results, it’s largely within a margin of error (or identical in the case of the onboard ethernet) which is all to be expected. Raspberry Pi Waveshare USB/Ethernet Hat Power Draw at idle (in Watts) Post-Testing Thoughts This does also mean that they bend back easily enough, though I wonder how many bends back and forth they’ll take before breaking. They’re a little longer than the ones that come with the Raspberry Pi and seem to be a slightly softer material so bend quite easily. The eagle-eyed among you may also see the bent pins in the photo above. Individual activity lights for power, ethernet and each USB port are a great touch too! If I had to nitpick about anything the USB ports on my unit take quite a bit of force to plug into and I felt a little uneasy at first but I’m sure after a while this will get a bit easier. The USB and Ethernet ports feel sturdy and overall, the board feels well made. The hat on top of the Pi Zero doesn’t stick out too much at all, they have near enough the same footprint which is nice, though it won’t fit in any standard cases or the Zero, though this is not a problem for me. Once in place, screw the 2 posts in, attach the Micro USB bridge and you’re good to go. You simply line up the post screws and push the Hat down onto your Pi’s GPIO pins. Overall, the packaging was great, thumbs up, Waveshare! In addition, there was a foam piece inserted on top of the GPIO pins to prevent those from being bent or piercing the bag. The board came well packaged in a sturdy cardboard box with padding material inside preventing the item from being thrown around inside the box.
