Thanks.

Following a train of thought...
I wonder how easy it would be to get this to send MIDI over USB. With the low
power, and analog as well as digital IO you could make a nice little bespoke
Controller :)

Easy in principle if you know or can learn the relevant standards, but
overall it'll still be a good few hours of cranking code out.

Well that's nice, I wish they could have done that with their other
boards. Rather than all the omissions in the schematics, lack of
electrical specifications (except for the Compute Modules), and rare
official Broadcom documents that hardly look proof read.

For the Pi Zero you always seem to have to fall back on hearsay
and/or a snippet of code from part of the Linux kernel if you can
find it.

I get that this thing has some extra peripheral functions, but I'd
say a lot of the applications this is aimed at could be achieved
with an official and well documented bare-metal programming
environment for the Pi Zero. Mind you, maybe the weird business
model around the Pi Zero means they don't really want to encourage
that.

As I understand, it is not yet set up to use the Arduino IDE but should 
work fine with an install of micro-python. The Arduino family generally 
have MUCH less memory to work with.
