The Raspberry Pi Zero W takes the beloved and extremely popular Pi Zero and adds wireless LAN and Bluetooth, making it perfect for embedded Internet of Things projects.
The Zero W is a super-small, hackable, and ultra-low-cost computer, with mini-HDMI, micro-B OTG USB, and the same 40-pin GPIO as its bigger brothers. Take it to the next level with our range of pHAT and HAT add-ons!
With mini-HDMI, micro-B OTG USB, and the same 40-pin GPIO it still has great connectivity although you'll probably want our adaptor kit to help you hook it up to your existing devices.
Our Pibow Zero W case (available separately) will safely ensconce your Pi Zero W and protect it from bumps and bruises.
Our project kits for Pi Zero W will give you everything you need to build one of three beautiful projects - a Pirate Radio, a Mood Light, or a Scroll Bot - and will add a touch of panache to your desk.
Or why not try our Pi Zero W Starter Kit that includes one of our Blinkt! multicolour LED strips, the perfect way to take your first steps with coding in Python!

Notes
Please be aware that your Pi Zero W WILL NOT BOOT without an SD card with a fresh image installed. SD cards that work in your Pi 2/3 or Pi Zero (non-W) are not guaranteed to work in your new Zero W!
You will require at least NOOBS 2.2.0 (27th Feb 2017) or Raspbian 2017-02-27 or newer. The instructions from the Raspberry Pi Foundation here will guide you on how to prepare a NOOBS card.
