Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is an enhanced version of the Raspberry Pi Zero W, featuring significant upgrades in processing power while maintaining the same compact size and wireless capabilities. Here are some key details:
- Dimensions: It retains the small form factor of its predecessors, measuring 65mm x 30mm x 5mm.
- Processor: A major upgrade from the original Raspberry Pi Zero W, the Zero 2 W uses a Broadcom BCM2710A1 SoC, which includes a 1GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 64-bit CPU. This represents a substantial increase in processing power.
- Memory: It comes with 512MB of LPDDR2 SDRAM, the same as its predecessor.
- Wireless Connectivity:
- Supports 802.11 b/g/n Wireless LAN (WLAN).
- Bluetooth 4.2 Low Energy (BLE).
- I/O Interfaces:
- 40 GPIO pins (which can be expanded via a header).
- One Mini HDMI output for video, with support for composite video as well.
- A Micro USB port for power.
- Another Micro USB OTG port for connecting peripherals like keyboards, mice, or network adapters.
- A CSI connector for camera modules.
- Storage: Uses a MicroSD card for the operating system and data storage, like other Zero models.
- Price: The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is priced slightly higher than the Raspberry Pi Zero W, typically around $15, reflecting its increased performance capabilities.
- Usage:
- Education: With increased processing power, it’s ideal for more demanding educational projects, including multimedia and programming tasks.
- DIY Projects: Suitable for IoT devices, smart home applications, robotics, and other projects where more processing power is needed alongside wireless connectivity.
- Embedded Systems: The improved CPU allows for more complex embedded applications, such as data processing, machine learning on the edge, or as a gateway for IoT networks.
- Development and Prototyping: Enhanced performance makes it better suited for prototyping and developing applications that require more computational resources.
The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W was introduced to offer a significant boost in performance over the Raspberry Pi Zero W while preserving its compact size, affordability, and wireless features. This upgrade opens up new possibilities for projects requiring more processing power, making it an excellent choice for both hobbyists and professionals looking to develop or integrate more sophisticated applications into their embedded systems or IoT projects.
