Raspberry Pi Zero
Let us know about the small, open-sourced, pocket-friendly computer in this article. It is nothing but the Raspberry Pi Zero. If you haven’t heard about it then start reading about it below.
What is Raspberry Pi Zero?
Raspberry Pi is a pocket-friendly, credit card-sized computer that was released in 2015 by the pi foundation. The main aim of the pi foundation is to provide an open-source educational tool for a low cost. Raspberry Pi zero is one of the successful version by the foundation due to its smaller size and greater functionality.
When you see the photo of Raspberry Pi zero your first look directly falls on the Black sheep present at the center let me explain about it now.
It is on-board ARM single-core CPU running at 700 megahertz and 512 MB RAM. The given RAM and other specifications help us to run some various open software like OpenOffice, Minecraft, Python, etc.
The processor used is Broad Com BCM2835 SoC
Now the processing part is discussed so let us discuss the memory part and other raspberry Pi input and output ports briefly.
Initially Raspberry Pi does not come along with memory we need to insert a memory card that is SD card for storing data and also for storing the software.
The most preferred size of the memory card is 16 or 32GB.
Now let us discuss the ports. It comes with a mini HDMI port, a micro USB port, and a power supply port.
Mini HDMI port
The board has a mini HDMI port to connect existing TV or monitor to provide 1080p video playback and audio output.
Micro USB port
The single micro USB port will help us to connect a keyboard or to connect a Wi-Fi dongle to go wireless.
Micro USB power input
The body supported by a 5 volts power supply which can be provided by using an external adapter.
GPIO pins
Despite the size of Pi zero, there is still space for 40 general-purpose input/output pins. It is providing 3.3 volts or 5 volts of power.
Camera Port
A Pi camera can be attached to the Raspberry Pi zero directly at the pins provided.
Software
NOOBS and Raspbian are the best software for a beginner and out of those two NOOBS is the best for an absolute beginner.
