HZO Celebrates Pi Day 2025

Written by Mallory McGuinness-Hickey | March 13, 2025

In honor of Pi Day 2025, the HZO Team in Morrisville, North Carolina, headquarters honored our beloved Raspberry Pi computer that has been running and displaying our demo video - while submerged continuously underwater for almost 1,000 days. 

The Raspberry Pi PCBA is coated with Parylene coating using a vapor deposition process. Parylene coating enhances and protects electronic components, allowing them to operate reliably through harsh electrical activity, exposure to harmful chemicals, and more. 

The team took pictures with the Raspberry Pi, which has become like a family member, and wrote notes of encouragement for it as it reaches day 1,000. Happy Pi day!
