Raspberry Pi Zero W

Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W

The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is the powerful successor to the revolutionary Pi Zero W, packing a huge performance upgrade into the same beloved, ultra-compact form factor. At its core is a Raspberry Pi RP3A0 System-in-Package (SiP), which integrates a quad-core 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 processor and 512MB of SDRAM. This results in a massive speed boost—up to 5 times faster for multi-threaded workloads—making the Zero 2 W a true drop-in replacement for any project that needs more power without growing in size.

🔧 Key Features

• Quad-Core Performance: A 1GHz quad-core, 64-bit ARM Cortex-A53 CPU provides a significant performance uplift for your compact projects.
• Integrated Wireless: Onboard 2.4GHz IEEE 802.11 b/g/n wireless LAN and Bluetooth 4.2 with BLE keeps your project connected without extra dongles.
• 512MB SDRAM: Ample memory for running lightweight versions of Raspberry Pi OS, server applications, and more complex scripts.
• Tiny Form Factor: With a footprint of just 65mm × 30mm, it's perfect for embedding into smart devices, wearables, and other space-constrained applications.
• HAT-Compatible Header: Features the standard 40-pin GPIO header layout (unpopulated) to connect to the vast ecosystem of Raspberry Pi HATs.
• Drop-in Replacement: Designed to fit into most existing Raspberry Pi Zero cases and projects, making upgrades simple.

💡 Applications

• Smart Home Hubs: Its small size and wireless connectivity make it perfect for a discreet home automation controller.
• Portable Retro Gaming: The quad-core processor can emulate a wider range of classic consoles for handheld gaming projects.
• Compact Network Tools: Create a tiny network-wide ad-blocker (Pi-hole), a print server, or a low-power NAS.
• IoT Gateways: Use its Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities to collect data from various sensors and forward it to the cloud.
• Wearable and Portable Projects: Build custom cameras, portable information displays, or scientific instruments.
