       OCC DAY 04of07
       
       Day 4 I spent probably way too much time sifting through parts to 
       put in this project.  I had to stop myself from thinking about it 
       too much or I would get stuck so I had to take action. I switched 
       gears and decided to add the Raspberry Pi Zero.
       
       The Raspberry Pi Zero is not considered old in my personal 
       computing timeline.  It came out in 2015 and there have been many 
       different versions of Raspberry Pi that has come out since then.  
       Maybe in the timeline of single board computers it might be 
       considered old.  Time is relative.
       
       This particular board was originally supposed to be part of the 
       cybah rig [1] but I decided to go with the RPi Zero W with the 
       baked in wifi instead of tethering a dongle.
       
       With this board, i gathered some parts to get working on it.  Power 
       supply, cables, adapters, display, USB hub, microSD card.  I 
       decided to try out recalbox for the distro since I'm sure I could 
       find something pinball or pachinko related to run on it.
       
       The rest of the time was spent trying to get the damb thing to 
       work.  Bad microSD cards, funky display configs, interruptions, 
       adapter hunting, m0ar troubleshooting, etc.  I'll spare you the 
       play-by-play.  
       
       Finally, by 3AM, I got it to a point where I coutd put it down.  
       Things seemed to work as they should.  Next step is to stuff the 
       parts in the old PC case.  Hopefully I can get to this earlier in 
       the day rather than later. Here's a pic. [2]
