I can just imagine the looks you'd get at Tim's when you start breadboarding stuff on that solderless bread board. And coding in python. Play some mission impossible music while your doing it lol. Some blinking LED's. Hmm, maybe a four digit display with a count down timer.
Anyway, kidding aside, looks nice there Jack. Those double sided 3M sticky pads are good for holding stuff in place. Easy to remove is the part I like. For when you change you mind on layout etc.

lol, thats and even better tip .. I was thinking on calling it "The Bomb " big sticker on top ,,lol

Cool!!!

Be careful when you carry that thing to Tim's. You may get "SWATTED" for mistaking it as a bomb.

pi zero w just not fast enough on internet i need to be able to follow instructions on the web for the project im working on ,so i swapped it out for a pi 3B ,

Agree 100%

A 3A would have been a good swap for that project. Rumor has it, its a long way from ever being released though. =( I kind of think they started over and are going to do a 3A "+".

Yeah, you need a lot of patience to do web stuff with a Zero. Even a 3B is kind of just usable. A lot of that is the "not yet up to full speed" WIFI. The 3B+ has faster WIFI than the 3B, and 5G though. It's still not full spec speed. But for 35 bucks, you can't get too bent out of shape about it.

IMHO, The Raspberry Pi foundation needs a bigger better faster SOC to take things to the next level. True, full rated speed WIFI etc.

seems to work ok, but its not 10$ on amazon.ca .

Besides coding and stuffs like that while at Tim's, you can now also show your soldering skills with just a powerbank and this USB soldering iron...

$10 USB soldering iron first look review - YouTube

I don't think i could trust it ,over heat and burn in your hand ,ouch .
