Jumpstarting the Raspberry Pi Zero W

Why choose the Raspberry Pi Zero W? It’s small. It’s cheap. It’s power efficient. It has WiFi and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) built in. And it has the same general-purpose input/output (GPIO) header that bigger Raspberry Pis have: the gateway to controlling all sorts of hardware.

The Pi Zero W sports a fairly punchy processor for such a small, inexpensive device—not as hot as the larger Pi 3, but faster than the original Raspberry Pi—and it can run a full version of Linux. That means you have hundreds of programs and libraries already available, and you can write your own software for it in any language of your choice. Most examples in this book will use Python: it’s the most flexible, the easiest to learn, and very well supported.

The Pi Zero W doesn’t arrive with an operating system, or even any built-in storage. It has to boot from a MicroSD card with an OS installed.
