## Concerns ## Concerns
The lamest things are than my Pi Zero is the model with no built-in storage, so it'll have to use one of my spare SD cards too. It's wi-fi though so maybe it can serve a dual purpose as a controller for the macropad as well as some kind of server. Or maybe if I get super ambitious I can throw a LiPo in there and make the whole thing wireless, sending its events to some kind of daemon on my computer. Probably not. I dunno. Since it's a Zero and not a Pico or some other microcontroller it's going to have to boot up every time the power is interrupted which takes a minute, which is kind of lame, but I'll be using it on my desktop machine which also has to boot up so that's NBD.
