Raspberry Pi Zero initial setup

time1 mo agoview3 views

After the first boot and logging via SSH into the Raspberry Pi Zero W, this video shows the sequence of actions I usually take to install the software.

This video uses the following hardware components:

  • 1x microSD card (see previous steps for preparation, ~€7);
  • 1x Raspberry Pi Zero W board (~€16);
  • 1x micro USB cable with power pins (data pins not required, ~€7). Total: about €30
