Raspberry Pi Zero WH with Pre-Soldered GPIO Header

The Raspberry Pi Zero WH with Pre-Soldered GPIO Header (SKU Raspberry-Pi-Zero-WH) is a small single-board computer. GPIO stands for general-purpose input/output: the pins that connect the board to sensors, relays, motors and displays. Here the 40-pin, HAT-compatible header is already soldered on, so add-on boards (HATs) connect without a soldering iron.

What each spec gives you

• BCM2835 at 1GHz: the same platform as the original Pi 1, clocked about 40% faster.
• 512MB RAM: suited to lightweight computing, programming, networking and automation.
• 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi: joins a compatible wireless network with no USB adapter.
• Bluetooth 4.1 and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE): pairs with compatible keyboards, mice, controllers and sensors.
• Mini HDMI: carries video and audio to a monitor or television.
• CSI camera connector: CSI is Camera Serial Interface. It takes compatible Raspberry Pi camera modules for monitoring, time-lapse or wildlife camera projects.
• Micro USB On-The-Go (OTG) port: for USB accessories through an OTG adapter or hub.
• Extras: composite video and reset headers.

What else you will need

This is a bare board, not a finished camera or recorder. Power goes in through a separate Micro USB port, so you need a suitable Micro USB supply. Add a Mini HDMI cable or adapter if you want a display, an OTG adapter or hub for keyboards, mice or storage, and a compatible camera module if the project needs video.
