Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W (Wireless / Bluetooth) 2021 (RPi Zero 2W)

Running mine as a Pi-hole for network wide ad blocking and it has been rock solid for months. The quad core processor makes a huge difference over the original Zero W, everything is snappier and I haven't had a single freeze. Tiny footprint, pulls barely any power, fits in a cheap case. If you have a Pi project that doesn't need USB ports or full HDMI this is the perfect board for it. Only thing to keep in mind is you'll need the right adapters for the mini HDMI and micro USB, but that's true of any Zero board.

This tiny device packs a lot of functionality! I have this raspberry pi hooked up to my Ender 3 Pro 3D Printer to run OctoPrint. This pi was very easy to get up and running and wired into the printer. It works flawlessly and now allows me to monitor my printers from my phone and communicate to the printer wirelessly, no longer do I need to tethered to it! Very happy with this purchase and a great value!

This is a genuine Raspberry Pi Zero 2W. Headers are not pre-soldered, but that isn’t a hard task. Includes a mini-HDMI port, 2 micro-USB ports (one for power, one for USB), a SD card slot, and a camera connecter. Of course there is also a 40 pin GPIO header. I purchased a Waveshare ethernet HAT + case for this Pi Zero to give it a case that includes 3x USB-A ports and an Ethernet port. Great product, although more limited than other Pis (it can’t open Chromium because there is not enough memory, etc). But perfect for small tasks!

Not much to say except it worked great for my ShariPi Allstar build.

You know what I love? I love that we live in a world where I need a computer the size of a stick of gum to tell my Christmas lights when to turn on and off. Because flipping a switch is too much work for modern humans. But you know what? This little Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is perfect for that kind of beautiful nonsense. Under THIRTY bucks. THIRTY bucks for a computer that has more processing power than the entire Apollo program, and I'm using it to make my inflatable Santa wave at the neighbors. The engineers at MIT are rolling over in their graves. The ones who are dead, anyway. The live ones are probably doing the same thing with theirs. This thing is smaller than a deck of cards but somehow packs in WiFi, Bluetooth, and enough computing muscle to run whatever half-baked automation project pops into your head at 2 AM. Want to spoof MAC addresses? Sure, why the hell not? Want to build a retro gaming console? Go nuts. Want to monitor your pet hamster's exercise routine and post the data to a spreadsheet? This little sucker will do it without complaining. And it actually WORKS. Right out of the box. No driver hell, no tech support runaround, just plug it in and watch it go. It's almost disappointing how reliable it is—I was looking forward to a good three-hour rage session troubleshooting drivers. Bottom line: If you need a tiny, cheap, wireless computer for your questionable projects, this is your guy. Five stars. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a doorbell to rig up with facial recognition.

Fun little project board, and ended up finally deciding on using it as a Android auto wireless bridge. Compatibility with a lot of operating systems seems almost infinite. Fits perfectly in tiny areas for any projects.

I matched this Pi Zero 2 W board up with Geeek Pi Pi Zero 2 W case, 16 Gb SanDisk microSD card and a six inch CableCreation USB A - USB Micro data cable to make a Android Auto appliance for my wife's 2017 Chevy Volt. I flashed a custom Android Auto with OS image onto the microSD from the GitHub project in order to provide the wireless connection to my wife's Pixel 6a phone. The Pi Zero 2 W connects to one of two USB ports in the Chevy Volt console are just forward of the transmission shifter. Everything worked great although it took a little effort to get the Chevy Volt head unit to swap over to the Pi Zero 2 W for Android Auto. This was during the initial phase when the Pixel 6a was connected to the top Volt USB port and the Pi Zero 2 W was connected to the bottom. The phone easily connected to the Pi via Bluetooth; it just took a couple of iterations for the Chevy head unit to accept the Pi as an Android Auto source. After that, other than a 10-20 second delay for the Pi to finish it's Chevy handshake after startup everything works great. My wife loves using Google Maps. Phone and SiriusXM via Android Auto and the speech recognition works very well for her. Happy wife, happy life! I only held one star back as I can't say how durable this setup will be but it's holding up well so far.

Would buy again

This board is a masterpiece of compact engineering. I used it to host a Python script for an automated Discord bot I wrote, and it handled the workload flawlessly while pulling almost no power. Having the wireless and Bluetooth connectivity integrated directly onto such a tiny footprint makes it perfect for headless setups where you just plug it in and tuck it behind a desk. Unbeatable utility for the price.

Mucho más rápida que la versión 1 de esta SBC. Muy recomendable.

Excellent device, used to install a camera in a bird box. Delivery was shoddy, and took over a week to arrive, would have preferred a tracked delivery

Funktioniert super. Habe damit ein Stratux gebaut, was kleiner als die Standardvariante ist.

Nel mio caso, perfetta per emulare vecchi giochi arcade, connessione wireless a controller, ingombro minimo
