Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W Development Board
Run Linux on something the size of a credit card. The Zero 2 W packs a 1GHz quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 into a tiny footprint with built-in 802.11b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth 4.2, making it the go-to board for embedded projects that need real computing power without the bulk. Ships from US warehouse, in stock now.
Project idea: Build a battery-powered wildlife camera trap. Attach a Pi Camera Module 3, trigger captures via GPIO motion sensor, and auto-upload timestamped JPEGs to an S3 bucket over WiFi using a Python script running at boot.
Key Features

- Mini HDMI output for display output
- Micro USB OTG port for peripherals and power
- CSI-2 camera connector compatible with official Pi camera modules
- 40-pin GPIO header footprint, fully compatible with Pi Zero form factor accessories
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this come with the GPIO header pre-soldered?
Most Zero 2 W boards ship without the header soldered. Check your unit on arrival. If unsoldered, a standard 40-pin 2.54mm header and a decent iron will have you ready in under 10 minutes.
What OS can I run on this?
Raspberry Pi OS Lite is the standard choice and runs well. You can also run Ubuntu Server 22.04 for arm64, or lightweight options like DietPi if you want to trim overhead on constrained projects.
How does this compare to a full Raspberry Pi 4 for a headless server use case?
The Zero 2 W draws around 0.4W idle vs 3W+ for a Pi 4, which matters for battery or solar builds. You trade raw throughput and USB ports for size and power efficiency. For light MQTT brokers, sensors, or camera work, it punches well above its footprint.
