OK, for those that bought Raspberry Pi Zero and misses the accessories to get it up, here are our recommended stuff:
- A good quality 5V power supply – we suggest 5V 2.5A with cable – this will allow you to power the Zero from a wall adapter. It is not suggested to power the Zero from a computer USB port as the voltage often sags and can cause SD card corruption!
- 16GB MicroSD Card with Operating System – This 16GB is preloaded with NOOBS (New Out Of Box Software) and it comes all the way from the UK, Raspberry Pi Foundation. Of course, you can also get a microSD card from the computer shop, load with preffered operating system and boot it up. Make sure you have the latest version!
- Mini HDMI to HDMI Adapter, or Mini HDMI to standard HDMI cable – Will let you convert the little port on the Zero to a standard sized HDMI jack. You can get 1080P HDMI video + audio out of this little computer!
- USB OTG Cable – Lets you plug in a normal USB device such as WiFi dongle, USB hub, keyboard, mouse, etc into the Zero.
- USB Console cable (UC00A or UC00C) – If you want to go headless (without monitor and other accessories) which you’re not going to stick an HDMI monitor on there, then this is essential, you connect the wires to the GPIO pins and log in over a serial console. Its the easiest & fastest way to get on your Pi.
- 2×20 Male header strip – Solder this in to plug in Pi HATs, GPIO cables, etc as you would into a normal Pi. But you are not good in soldering or does not have soldering tools, please consider getting Raspberry Pi Zero WH which comes pre-soldered with 40-pin headers.
Note: Warranty is void if 40-pin GPIO is soldered, please consider getting the WH version where the 40-pin GPIO is presoldered from factory.
And if you want a better computing experience with this tiny computer, we recommend getting:
Acrylic case for Raspberry Pi Zero/W- Cytron Raspberry Pi Zero or Zero W or Zero WH Acrylic enclosure. Keeps your Pi Zero safe and sleek. Or you can get the official Raspberry Pi Casing.
Mini Wireless Keyboard w/Trackpad – Requires only one USB port, which makes it a great match for the Pi Zero
Pi T-Cobbler – When paired with the male 2×20 pin header, you can use your Pi Zero with a breadboard to connect sensors, LEDs, motors and more!
Note: Some boards are made in the UK, some in China. WE DO NOT KNOW IN ADVANCE WHICH ONES YOU MAY RECEIVE!
