      Hi all
      I am planning on making a smaller MM for as a Christmas gift (size-wise it would fit in a standard photo frame) and was intending to use a Pi Zero to run the basic MMM. I am drawn to the Zero due to its smaller form factor.
      If anybody has experience using a smaller screen ie. not an old tv or monitor, that can also be powered through the GPIO heads on the Pi Zero - I would love to learn from your expertise!

      Alternatively, any suggestions as to a more appropriate pi model to use would also be great.

        Not sure about GPIO monitors, but here’s a 5inch mini hdmi monitor that should work with all of the same steps. Not sure about any software limitations though, I haven’t built a MM yet.
