[rescue] The old and the new

[Francois Dion]

We've sent 7 Raspberry Pi model A+ into near space:

Sure, no ethernet, but we used the serial in a token ring like manner (send
to receive):

I've powered the original Pi using a USB battery like you describe and that
pulled a lot more than the A+. Looks like the PiZero pulls about the same
as the A+.

Either way, I'm hoping to buy a large quantity to give to students who
participate in project nights... Currently it's a quadcopter UAV project.
