Had little difficulty figuring out the best forum for this topic, so gonna start here.
Weeks back I installed Wyoming-Satellite on a Pi 3B, and that so far has been good. Then I followed the more popular method to install on a Pi Zero 2. Bought 2x of them with 2x Seed HATs. Been a couple weeks and these seem to be becoming less and less stable.
I printed up a couple of satellite cases, one has access from the top (i.e. direct to the HAT) and the other has access from bottom (i.e. I can touch the Pi). I did notice the one was rather hot, when I touched the Pi . The other the Seed HAT is room temperature, so any heat from the Pi is not seemingly affecting the HAT (guessing here).
For the software. The Pi 3 has remained stable, night or day I can say “Hey Jarvis”. The Pi Zeros, I had to create a timer to restart the Wyoming-Satellite service every 2 hours. The Pi would be accessible via SSH, and I would have to manually restart the service to get it to respond! Worse these past few days I am getting up in the morning to find these two Zeros need to be power cycled. I can ping them, but can not even SSH to them.
Did some Googling, Zeros do not need heatsink, but why not put one on because it wouldn’t hurt is the summary of what I found. Did not find any help on whether my 5v 2.5a power supply was sufficient for the Pi Zero + Seed HAT + 3W 8Ohm speaker. Best I could find there was one post on Pi forum that my take away was I did not need a 5v 3a or more power (taking with grains of salt for this forum I saw the post).
Soooooooooooooooooo I would like to know what others are:
A.) Using - Heatsinks, power supplies, etc…
B.) Experiencing - Anyone else finding the Pi Zero unstable, find a cause, find a solution, etc…
