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+

The ProtoZero is a prototyping board for the Raspberry Pi Zero, that also fits the A+, B+ and Pi2.

The ProtoZero is a breadboard-style prototyping board for the new Raspberry Pi Zero (and the first ever Pi Zero based Kickstarter campaign).

It's designed to make it easy to move your messy Raspberry Pi breadboard projects to a PCB.

Simply add your components to the prototyping area, connect GPIO, power and GND as required - solder it all up and away you go!

Features

• Full breakout of the PiZero's 40-Pin GPIO header, ready to connect to your project
• 154 holes of prototyping area - set in lanes of 3+ to make it even easier to connect your components to the Pi
• Labelled GPIO numbers and printed lanes on both sides on the board
• High-quality ENIG (Electroless nickel immersion gold) PCB plating
• Female GPIO header included

The only assembly involved is the soldering of the GPIO header.

Make sure the header is fitted in to the PCB with the main 'PROTOZERO' text on the underside like the image below:

You should then solder the header from the top face of the PCB, ensuring the header is fitted to the outer GPIO section:

This minimal Camera for the Pi Zero is perfect for small camera projects where space is at a premium.

The sensor is 5MP, and the whole shebang is mounted on a flexible circuit board. As such, a little care is needed when handling, just like the connector on the Pi Zero. Easy there Lennie.

Otherwise it's an economical and svelte solution for birdcams, bodycams, home security and simple computer vision projects.

Update: now also available without an IR filter, which is useful for night vision, especially when using IR lights to illuminate the subject

Only for Raspberry Pi Zero with CSI camera port.

Approx dimensions of camera: 10mm x 11.4mm x 5.1mm

Getting started with PiCamera

Colour-coded GPIO pins that make locating that ground or power connection you need super simple!

These 40-pin 2x20 male headers from our friends at The Pi Hut can be used on a Raspberry Pi Zero and are colour-coded for your prototyping convenience.

You'll never have to search for a ground pin again!

The colour coding is nice and simple:

• Red = 5V
• Yellow = 3V3
• Black = GND
• Blue = DNC (Reversed I2C)

For hard-mode try installing the header the wrong way round and throwing away your normal pin reference! ;-)

AlphaBot2-PiZero Acce Pack requires the controller Raspberry Pi Zero/Zero W /Zero WH if you don't have one in hand please use the links to add them to your order. Batteries are not included.

Overview

This AlphaBot2 robot kit is designed to use with Raspberry Pi Zero/Zero W (not included). It features rich common robot functions including line tracking, obstacle avoiding, ultrasonic ranging, Bluetooth/infrared/WiFi remote control (Bluetooth and WiFi are Zero W specific), video monitoring, etc.

Thanks to the highly integrated modular design, it is fairly easy to assemble by a snap, no soldering, no wiring. After a few minutes spent on hardware assembling, you're almost there, our open source demo codes is ready to help you get started fast.

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.
