NEW PRODUCT – Raspberry Pi Zero WH (Zero W with Headers) – v1.3


If you didn’t think that the Raspberry Pi Zero W could possibly get any better, then boy do we have a pleasant surprise for you! The new Raspberry Pi Zero WH offers all the benefits of the Pi Zero W, but with one big difference – a pre-soldered GPIO header!

This upgrade is the addition of a BCM43143 WiFi chip BUILT-IN to your Raspberry Pi Zero – just like the Pi 3! No more pesky WiFi adapters – this Pi is WiFi ready. There’s also Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) on board making the Pi an excellent IoT solution (BLE support is still in the works, software-wise).

We also have a basic pack, budget pack, and starter pack with all the essentials to get your Zero W up and running.

At first glance, the Pi Zero WH looks just like the Raspberry Pi Zero W we know and love. But when we started to think of the added convenience of not having to worry about soldering or hooking up a WiFi dongle or Ethernet cable – and what a well-chosen set of accessories we could add – we realized the appeal. And then we saw the price… could it be true? Yes!

This is the slimmest, most pared down Raspberry Pi to date. It’s kind of like the little cousin to the Pi 3 – with just a micro SD card slot, a mini HDMI port, two micro USB ports (one for power, one for USB), and 512MB of RAM. It has a single-core 1 GHz processor chip, similar to the Pi A+ and B+.

The best part about all this is that the Pi Zero WH keeps the same shape, connectors, and mounting holes as the Pi Zero W and the v1.3.

Please note – even though there’s built-in WiFi, the Pi Zero WH is quite minimal and requires a few accessories to turn it into a computer! At a minimum we recommend:

We also strongly recommend some other parts and pieces to make your Pi Zero computing experience easier:

  • Adafruit Pi Zero Enclosure – Adafruit’s classic, sturdy plastic enclosure. Keeps your Pi Zero safe and sleek.
  • Pi Zero Protector – Keep your Pi Zero safe while handling with this simple sandwich-style acrylic case.
  • USB Powered Hub – So you can plug in any kind of USB devices without overloading the Zero’s power supply. (You can also, ironically, power the Zero from the hub itself by plugging in a micro USB cable into the hub)
  • Mini Wireless Keyboard w/Trackpad – Requires only one USB port, which makes it a great match for the Pi Zero
  • Wireless Keyboard + Mouse set – Also requires only one USB port, but for everyday use.
  • Pi Cobbler or T-Cobbler – When paired with the male or female 2×20 pin header, you can use your Zero with a breadboard to connect sensors, LEDs, motors and more!
  • Ethernet Hub and USB Hub w/ Micro USB OTG Connector – One can never have enough socks, or USB ports. Add some more USB and Ethernet capability to your Raspberry Pi Zero if you’re an Ethernet enthusiast!

Please note: Some boards are made in the UK, some in China. WE DO NOT KNOW IN ADVANCE WHICH ONES YOU MAY RECEIVE!
