Raspberry Pi Zero W – Wi-Fi + Bluetooth, No Headers

The Raspberry Pi Zero W is a compact single-board computer designed for embedded systems, education, and wireless IoT applications. It is based on the Broadcom BCM2835 single-core processor operating at 1 GHz and includes 512 MB RAM with integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. The board features Mini HDMI video output, Micro USB interfaces for power and data, and a microSD card slot for operating system storage. Its reduced dimensions of 65 mm × 30 mm enable use in space-constrained designs. The unpopulated 40-pin GPIO header and CSI camera connector provide flexible hardware integration. Suitable for IoT devices, learning platforms, and custom embedded projects.
