      Is anyone else having problems with their Pi Zero? Mine doesn't appear to be recognizing keyboards, etc. Every now and then, it will recognize my Xin Mo, but it won't let me go any further than the main screen.

      Maybe it's freezing out? if I plug in my usb after it has booted, it won't even light up. This is a fresh build, and I'm new to the Pi, so any help would be appreciated. I've gotten a Pi3 working (what the appropriate image), but I can't get the zero running for the life of me.

      Thanks in advance.

        @ClassicPie try plugging a usb hub in. (Doesnt need to be powered) the pi seems to do better with a hub. Also what is the amps on your power supply?

          I thought about doing that. But I thought it would need a powered one. All Pis prefer a hub?

          Power supply is 2amp.

          Thanks for the response.
