I love watching your videos - loads tinkering about like I do, rigging up all manner of adapters and gadgets to get something done. Super motivating to go and mess around. :)
Nice. You can also easily design your own USB (type C) to (micro-)USB PCB boards and get them ship for less than $1 / board to solder your own custom adapters for a tidy setup. This also helps control the distance between the two USB plugs.

he is using remote desktop through wifi, there is no point to the pi being plugged into the ipad, it's only for power. it is a very cool thing but in my opinion just plugging in the pi to a powerbank is far more convenient
@@flognortNot only for power - you also can connect to the Pi without WiFi directly over USC-C. For an older iPad with Lightning port just install RaspAP on the Pi and connect directly to the WiFi hotspot on the Pi without the need of an external WiFi-router…
Definitely going to have to try that remote desktop. I generally just manage things with ssh, but it might be fun to play HL1 on the Pi while I'm in another room.

@@leepspvideo Thank you for answering. But in some videos people talk about how they do not have to rely on a internet connection to use the RPi with the ipad because the iPad can communicate with the RPi through the Usb c cable. So right now I am a bit confused. I want sommething which will give me desktop apps on my ipad. A cloud pc is way to expensive right now.
Thanks for the video something looks not clear tho: - for the case were the rPi is connected to your iPad, is the rPI `emulate` Ethernet through USB or is the connection between the Pi and the iPad is through Wifi? - In case of Wifi connection (obviously the last demo), are you using your home Wifi or the is the Pi is acting as a hostspot? Configuring the rPI to connect to a home Wifi and then connect from the iPad to the Pi is quite easy, and I believe does not have much value. But being able to have Ethernet over USB or have the rPI be a hotspot is very usefull, since we can use this kind of configuration everywhere. Unfortunately I never being able to configure Ethernet over USB or configure on hotspot with a Pi Zero 2. (however with a rPI4 I was able to have that configuration)
@@leepspvideo Sorry for the critic.. I quickly watched the video you gave the link and it's difficult to follow / confusing. you say that you will do it for a Zero 2W but in the end you talk about the rpi4 (which is not the same hardware) you started to DL a version of an OS, but install another version. It's difficult to know what is working and what is not. On my side I was able to configure the rpi4 but not the Zero2W It looks like not all OS works the same, an the way to configure them with the "rPI imager" is not the same too Unfortunately, see the "Ethernet" option in the iPad Network settings, does not mean the Internet works. The RNDIS connection could start but not work in the end (it looks to be my issue) It's very confusing. I will watch it again, tho; thank you for your videos and the time you spend to explain.

Correct, connecting to a RPI Zero 2 and RPI 4 with Bullseye doesn't work with the Remote Desktop client App on my iPad. I now use VNC Viewer for iPad instead, this works fine.

Hi lee, I am still waiting for the hdmi splitter test for the Pis.
I use a third party Apple Pencil knockoff (Miccory Sketch Pure) which is cheap as chips and works very well with IOS RDP client.
Thank you for this. I don't have anything Apple, but I'm about to convert my Surface RT and any thing like this helps.
Maybe to avoid the need of same network USB OTG or rpi could be used to emulate ethernet adapter and then connect to rpi straight via USB.
And have not tried this one, but also you can enulate storage device and this way attached your NAS to your TV or iPad etc.
Can I ask in 2024, can you use it with something like a Radxa Zero 2 Pro? Will it have enough power and cooling? Does it work with keyboard?
Would I be able to do this with the first Pi zero? I picked up a zero 2 w and now I have a few spare zeros.
Yes but running an os on the previous Pi zero was very slow
