hello they - garrison front handle authority now I did my review of the Raspberry Pi 3 which had built-in Wi-Fi and bluetooth I said that the type wouldn't be great if all rather aspire boards of the future had built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth I even suggested the Raspberry Pi foundation later board called the Ralphy 5-0 plus which has built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and sold $15 well they didn't listen to my advice because not called the Raspberry Pi zero plus it's called the Raspberry Pi zero ww4 Wireless and it doesn't cost fifteen dollars it cost just ten now I'm not going to do a full review of this board because we it is very similar to the Raspberry Pi zero however this is a good opportunity to look at what is new in the Raspberry Pi zero w and just where we are with the Raspberry Pi zero in general so just to refresh your memory what you get here is a small circuit board with an arm v6 processors a 32-bit processor capable of running Linux you get half a gigabyte of memory you get a micro SD card slot for holding the operating system in your data you have a mini HDMI port for connecting to a television or monitor and a micro USB port for connecting peripherals like keyboard mine and so on the version of Linux that comes with it's called raspbian and it's capable of accessing the full GPIO pins as a set of pins that you can use to resent the data to control stepper motors to do anything you'd like to do in Hardware and control it in software so looking around the board we see a couple of interesting things first of all this is a one sided board with no components on the back end of this circuit board and on the front side of it we have the main feature there is the Broadcom arm v6 CPU also has a GPU on it it's also half a gigabyte of memory then looking around the ports on the top you have this unpopulated area for the GPIO pins you can solder a header in there and those pins are compatible with all the other Raspberry Pi devices on the left here you have the micro sd card which is for the OS but the micro HDMI the two USB port one for your data peripheral and one for the power and something new that came on later versions of the Raspberry Pi zero and it including the Raspberry Pi zero w and that is the camera connector now you're probably going around your Raspberry Pi 0 W in what's called a headless configuration that means without a monitor without a mouse without the keyboard and that's great when you're using it in little project in maybe Internet of Things project clicking sensor data maybe for in a robot maybe inside of all other kinds of projects home security home automation anything you want to use it for it's probably not going to be attached to a keyboard mouse and loiter and we'll talk about that in a moment before we go there it is worth mention that it does have a full Linux desktop now the Linux desktop with the default distribution is called pixel and you can actually now get it also as a USB disk to boot up on your PC and that will give you access to a simple but very functional elegant desktop and from there you have access to things like libera office and also to chromium as a web browser but also in terms of Education you also get access to things like Python and then of course things like C and C++ and Java and you can write a whole bunch of different programming languages on the Raspberry Pi there is a great educational tool and very cheap for people to get involved in learning how to program and just spend money on laptops and desktops you can just buy this $10 board and you could be up and running writing a C program or a Python program in next to no time so going back to the heckler setup for a moment as I set up your use without a mouse monitoring keyboard which will be for most projects with this hardware Rivoli's what you have to do to set that up is to download the software from the Raspberry Pi website you copy that onto a microwave D card you boot microSD card you follow the instructions to install after a few minutes and a reboot you come up with pixel desktop you then want to configure your Wi-Fi on equals Wi-Fi built into the Raspberry Pi 0 W and there's a little icon on the top right hand side mix of the clock you can click on your Wi-Fi network enter in general password and now the Raspberry Pi 0 always connect to that network whenever it boots up you also want to go into the Wrightwood pi configuration options and there you might want to change the name of your raspberry pi 0 especially like me if you've got more than one Raspberry Pi in the house secondly you probably want to enable secure shell because that will make sure that you've got good remote access to your board and thirdly you probably want to configure VNC which is basically a way of getting a remote desktop and once you've done that you can then reboot disconnect the mouse the keyboard and the monitor and as long as it's got power to it it will be available on your Wi-Fi network you have a remote desktop you can secure shell into it and you can basically program and use the Raspberry Pi 0 wherever it is inside of your house and then you can build your projects home security Internet of Things whatever you're into and it will be a remotely accessible piece of kit which will be amazing different things you can try and build with it so for $10 I am mega impressed with the Raspberry Pi 0 ee I think it's a brilliant move by the Raspberry Pi foundation although it is twice the price of the original Raspberry Pi 0 I think that extra $5 for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi is definitely worth it and I've got one here and I know I'm gonna be buying more in the future well my name is Gary similar Authority I hope you enjoyed this video if you did please do give it a thumbs up please tell me in the comments below what you've been using your Raspberry Pi 0 for if you're going to buy a Raspberry Pi at 0 W also ever forget to subscribe to an annual thority YouTube channel hit that Bell symbol
