Description
Raspberry Pi Zero W – Compact. Connected. Creative.
The Raspberry Pi Zero W is the perfect blend of size, affordability, and wireless connectivity, making it a game-changer for developers, educators, tinkerers, and anyone passionate about creating smart devices. Despite its credit-card-sized footprint, the Zero W packs enough punch to handle a wide range of projects — from home automation to IoT gateways, from retro gaming consoles to security cameras.
Wireless Power in Your Pocket
What sets the Zero W apart from the original Zero is its built-in 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1 with BLE support. This makes wireless projects simpler, cleaner, and more affordable, eliminating the need for external adapters or messy cabling. You can deploy your projects in remote locations, connect to cloud platforms via MQTT, or communicate with Bluetooth-enabled devices with ease.
