Raspberry Pi Zero W

Pi0w.jpg

Limited Supply

$50___Free Shipping

You can buy a bare computer for $10 plus tax

But you need a blank micro SD card

and a 5 volt micro USB power supply

Download the operating software

Burn it to the micro SD card

Configure the system

If you want a keyboard and display

you will need a mini HDMI to HDMI cable

a micro USB converter to USB

A USB keyboard (best to use dual keyboard-mouse)

Only one USB connector

You would be better off getting a Pi3

to avoid buying the extra connector


A Tiny little computer with a big heart.

If you have never seen one, you will not believe

what it can do.

This one is setup as a hotspot,

well, not exactly. No internet.

It is more like a private cloud.

Store your information in a database

with index files, so you can find it later.

Add a battery pack and carry it with you.

The best application is to use wireless to connect.

You do not need any cables with wireless.

Connect with your phone or laptop.

It is ready, plug in a 5V power supply and go.


It is single core with 512MB memory

The SD card storage can be up to 32 GB


For most people Raspberry Pi3 is the one to choose

It has a standard HDMI (cheaper)

and four (4) standard USB connectors

Plug in USB keyboard, USB mouse, USB camera, USB printer, USB hard drive

Raspberry Pi4 Model B is the newest, fastest, and most expensive

Raspberry Pi4 comes with either 2GB 4GB or 8GB RAM ($$$$)

If you go with the Pi4 get the 8GB

The Pi4 has micro HDMI ($$$)

and USB-C (not too bad)

and it needs a 3 Amp power supply

The Pi3 is a better value

The Pi3B+ is faster but not compatible with Pi0W

The Pi0 does not have wi-fi

Be sure to get the "W" if you want wireless

Pi0W for wireless AP or Private Cloud (works great)

Connect with your phone

Pi0 for portable projects such as robots

All Raspberry Pi models have a micro USB port for power

(the same found on many mobile phones)

Pi4 has USB-C with a power supply that provides least 3.0 amps

You need a microSD card with a capacity of at least 16 GB (32GB)

Smaller cards are getting harder to find at a good price

TV with HDMI input

The Pi is able to play sound (no extra cables)

Computer monitors do not work well (VGA adapter $$$)

Raspberry Pi4 has two micro HDMI ports ($$$)

allowing you to connect two separate monitors.

You need either a microHDMI-to-HDMI cable ($$$)

or a microHDMI-to-HDMI adapter ($$)

What a pain

Raspberry Pi3 has a single full-size HDMI port

so you can connect it using a cheap standard HDMI-to-HDMI cable

Some screens only have a VGA port, you need HDMI-to-VGA adapter ($$$$$)

Pi0 does not have an Ethernet port

Do not even think of using a Pi0W on the internet

It is single core and no connectors

Yes, you can do it, but it is not worth it

It also has a mini HDMI connector ($$$)

On a Pi0W forget the connectors ($$$$)

Set it up to connect with wireless

Pi3 and Pi4 can also be wirelessly connected to the internet

Pi0 could but not worth it.

Are you going to put a USB adapter for the keyboard and mouse
