Move Over Raspberry Pi? The Zima Blade SBC Changes EVERYTHING!

Post date September 8, 2025

Move Over Raspberry Pi? The Zima Blade SBC Changes EVERYTHING!

The Raspberry Pi has competition… and it comes with PCIe, SATA, Gigabit Ethernet, and more.

In this video, I dive into the Zima Blade Single Board Computer (SBC) — a powerhouse alternative to the Raspberry Pi. We’ll unbox it, check out the ports, talk about its surprising features, and see how it stacks up against the Pi you already know and love.

👉 Zima Blade Kit: https://geni.us/Gr5z4S
👉 TP-Link Wifi Dongle: https://geni.us/e0Etsi

👉 Inside you’ll see:
• PCIe x4 slot
• Dual 6Gbps SATA ports for serious storage
• Gigabit Ethernet, USB-C, USB 3, mini DisplayPort
• A full unboxing + first boot experience

If you’re tired of waiting for Raspberry Pi stock or just curious about what’s next in SBCs… this is the one to watch.

📡 Subscribe for more deep dives into SBCs, ham radio tech, and power systems:

Black Screen Reboot: Fixing the Failure and Finding Solutions #shorts

Something went sideways when the system rebooted. There was no opening message. So, the black screen was rewritten, but maybe that’s when things went wrong. Now, the system says, "V call." and "U call."

My Biggest Antenna - Build and Test the Signature 18m (Directors Cut - 4k)

This is my biggest DX Commander antenna and needs careful planning and execution to make sure this goes up first time without a hitch. But the rewards are big! Enjoy the fun – and the mistakes.

This build uses this cut chart:

80m – 21.23m (For 3.8m and above, use 20.75m)
60m – 13.02m
40m – 9.77m (USA / Region 2 – use 9.7m)
30m – 6.88m
20m – 4.87m
17m – 3.86m

NOTE: 15m, 12m and 10m are not guaranteed – although your ATU will easily tune them – same with 6m band.
