Datasheet
We recommend purchasing either our starter pack, budget pack, or any of the following accessories to
make your Pi Zero complete:
o A good quality 5V power supply - Either a 5V 2A with cable or combine a 5V 1A power
supply and a Micro B USB cable - this will allow you to power the Zero from a wall adaper. It is
not suggested to power the Zero from a computer USB port as the voltage often sags and can
cause SD card corruption!
o 4GB+ SD Card with Operating System - You can grab a ready-to-go Raspbian card that has the
correct firmware for the Zero here. Or you can pick up an 8G card with Jessie. Or use a blank 4G
SD card and burn in Raspbian Wheezy and update the firmware.
o Mini HDMI to HDMI Adapter - 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!
o USB OTG Cable - Lets you plug in a normal USB device such as WiFi dongle, USB hub,
keyboard, mouse, etc into the Zero.
o USB Console cable - if 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
o 2x20 Male header strip - Solder this in to plug in Pi HATs, GPIO cables, etc as you would into a
normal Pi. (We also have a 2x20 Female and 2x20 Female right-angle style for more exotic
connecting)
