Note: this product requires two 14500 batteries to work, which are NOT included and should be purchased separately. Even though the battery holder fits the normal AA batteries DO NOT USE THEM! A 14500 lithium cell is identical in shape and size to a standard AA battery. But that is where the similarities end. AA supplies 1.5V each where 14500 supply 3.7V each.

The Raspberry Pi Zero WH has landed at PiShop! The Raspberry Pi Zero is an ultra low cost and ultra small variant of the original Raspberry Pi. It's tiny, measuring just 65mm x 30mm, and is perfectly designed for embedded applications, wearables, prototyping and any other Pi based tinkering you can think of, on a micro scale! The Raspberry Pi Zero Wireless features on board Wireless Internet & Bluetooth for all your connectivity needs!
The Raspberry Pi Zero features a BCM2835 chipset, overclocked to 1Ghz with 512MB RAM, and the same 1080p video output, so there's plenty of oomph in that little board. It also features the same 40 pin GPIO layout as the Raspberry Pi 2/B+/A+, with a pre-soldered male header. With it's small form factor and reduction in connectors, the Raspberry Pi Zero only uses ~ 140mA at 5V!
Unlike it's larger brothers and sisters, the Raspberry Pi Zero has an unpopulated composite (RCA) header and an unpopulated reset header. There's also no DSI screen port, no ethernet, no analogue audio and no full sized USB ports. Instead, the Pi Zero features a micro-USB power port, a micro USB OTG host port (for peripherals e.g. WiFi dongle), and a mini HDMI port for video.
HAT Compatibility Note: The Pi Zero is fully compatible with all HAT breakout boards, as it features the same 40 Pin GPIO as the Raspberry Pi 2/B+/A+
Raspberry Pi Zero Wireless Features:
- BCM2835 chipset, Overclocked to 1Ghz
- 512MB RAM
- Tiny Form Factor: 65mm x 30mm x 5mm
- Fully HAT compatible

The Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ is the latest product in the Raspberry Pi 3 range. Like the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, it boasts a 64-bit quad core processor running at 1.4 GHz, dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless LAN, and Bluetooth 4.2/BLE. The dual-band wireless LAN comes with modular compliance certification, allowing the board to be designed into end products with significantly reduced wireless LAN compliance testing, improving both cost and time to market.
The Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ features 512mb SDRAM (over the Pi 3 B+'s 1GB), has no Ethernet port or function, and includes only one USB port. The Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ has the same mechanical footprint as the Raspberry Pi 1 Model A+.
Please Note. It is recommended to use a 2.5A Power Supply with the Raspberry Pi 3A+. This purchase is for the Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+ Board only.

Want to take your kit to the next level?
Turn your RPI into a Media Centre
Grab yourself a remote control, select LibreELEC or OSMC when setting up your RPI and you'll be streaming in no time. You can even add a wireless keyboard, mouse or other similar controllers
Want a cheap eco-friendly PC
Grab a Keyboard and Mouse, select Raspbian when setting up your RPI and you'll be browsing the web, sending emails, editing spreadsheets and watching videos just like you're used to with a desktop/laptop.
We know you love retro gaming!
Check out our Arcade section, whether you just want a retro control or a mini DIY arcade cabinet we have what you're looking for.
Did somebody say Robotics?
We've got some cool beginner's items in our robotic section
Our Kits come with the latest version of NOOBS – New Out Of the Box Software pre-installed, While we will certainly try our best to assist with any software related questions we cannot offer any kind of official support on community driven, open source, or non-PiShop produced proprietary software.
NOOBS, Raspbian, RetroPie, LibreELEC and OSMC are all open-source software, please visit the developer's respective websites for more info.
So what is NOOBS anyway?In Short, NOOBS is an installer, when you switch your RPI on NOOBS will guide you through the installation of your software of choice... seem confusing? Don't worry it really couldn't be easier
- Raspbian - a full desktop for normal day to day work. Email, internet, office suite, programming etc.
- LibreELEC RPi2 - our preferred version of Kodi for use as a media centre.
- OSMC Pi2 - for more control of your Kodi media centre
- Windows 10 IoT Core - nope this is not windows 10. It simply enables you to run projects and apps for the IOT environment.
- RetroPie, Lakka and Recalbox - retro gaming for the RPi.
A whole bunch of other really cool technical info can be found here.
Getting Started with Raspberry Pi
Access the embedded webcam feed and watch remotely how your printer is creating your newest thing.
Get constant feedback regarding the current progress of your print job.
Take a look at the integrated GCODE visualizer to see a rendition of the GCODE you are currently printing.
Keep an eye on the temperatures of your hotends and print bed and adapt them on the fly.
Move the print head along all axes, extrude, retract or just define your own custom controls.

How to power your OctoPrint Raspberry pi directly from your Printers power supply. (12V/24V)
We have provided a Hobbywing 5V 3A UBEC Step-Down Converter, this allows you to power your Raspberry Pi with no extra cables or plugs.
Simply connect the input side to the Power supply V+ (Red) and V- (black)
The output side will provide the 5V that the Raspberry Pi needs. Place the jumpers onto the 5V and GND pins of your Pi. (Pin 4 and 6)

Setup
For WiFi connection:
Option 1:
Before inserting the SD Card into your Raspberry Pi you need to find the “octopi-network.txt“ file on the SD card from and computer of laptop.
To add in your WiFi details open the file using a text editor, make sure you use a program such as Notepad++, Atom or VSCode as they don’t tend to mangle the file without first warning you. Avoid editing the file with other programs such as WordPad (Windows) or TextEdit (Mac OSX) as they will enforce their encodings on the file making it fail to work.
Once you have the file open in the editor of your choosing
Find
## WPA/WPA2 secured
#iface wlan0-octopi inet manual
# wpa-ssid "put SSID here"
# wpa-psk "put password here"
Replace With
## WPA/WPA2 secured
iface wlan0-octopi inet manual
wpa-ssid "put SSID here"
wpa-psk "put password here"
That's it, now you can save your changes and insert the card into your pi.
Option 2:
You can insert the SD Card into your Raspberry Pi with a monitor, keyboard and a mouse and set you wifi up manually as seen here.
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/wireless-cli.md
If you will be using a LAN connection, this will not be necessary.
Now you can connect to your printer by visiting http://octopi.local
