A person who sells it for $40 is doing so purely out of constrained means. Rather than charging $20 (as many people do), I will sell it for much less.
It makes people stupid to have money I would like to say this to St. Peter Paul The sale of a new or never-used product over 30% above the MSRP is actually illegal in many states and may subject the customer to a fine from the department of consumer affairs in the state. * * * Sources of supply and demand alone are insufficient to raise prices for items that can be restocked. Similarly, "time of my staff" for commercially available products that require no special handling or processing is also inadequate. There are two ways for the price hike to be justified either by operating costs in the NORMAL operations of the business (rent, wages, cost of next restock of those goods), or by raising the prices of the For details about price gouging laws in your state and location, please search for "price gouging laws". State laws vary, but in general, anything 250% or more can be considered a price gouging policy. Taking 30% of MSRP per item as price gouging and pursuing an investigation pursuant to that complaint is illegal.
It's true that I paid $24 for the first Pi0w I purchased Zero is supposed to be affordable for anyone, for a price of $5 or $10 (with wifi). There is no comparison between Amazon and Best Buy when it comes to Raspberry Pi pricing. Although it really depends where you buy it, if the price is low, Adafruit usually makes up for the difference by offering faster shipping like a lot of other places. Their products would never be purchased by me. Microcenter has the BEST prices and you can order like pizza and pick it up in less than 20 minutes if you live near a Microcenter. If you can't get to an Amazon warehouse, they can send the item to your local Microcenter. There are two Pi0w versions, each is $10 and $13 with headers. Also, you can get a regular Pi Zero for $5, as long as you do not want to buy more than one, then they get more expensive. Which is stupid, but understandable from an inventory perspective.
Shipping costs make this an absolutely prohibitive product for those looking to buy it for $5 or $10. If you search the web for an actual Pi Zero W, you won't find it much cheaper than this. Amazon has looked at my website but I am not defending it.
Selected User Reviews For Raspberry Pi Zero W (Wireless) ( 2017 model)
Getting rich at the expense of others is not so good. For full list price of $10, you get a great board with WiFi, Bluetooth, Linux, lots of I/O, and a lot of other great features. Despite my protests, there is no way I'm going to pay three times as much to buy it from a group I might be able to find them in stock at Adafruit or any of the other legitimate sellers if I am patient. sooner we make clear that we are not going to be rewarded by the technical community if we acquire all of the available boards simply to resell them at a 300% increase, the better off we all will be.
You should note that this applies to a headless setup. The Raspberry Pi is easier to use with a monitor/keyboard
Hosting Raspbian Lite is available here
Using Etcher to burn will provide the best results
Make sure the re-install is successful
You can mount it the same way you would an ignitor When starting the machine it will display boot. Open a text editor(I tried using Windows TextEdit, it didn't seem to work, I ended up using Visual Studio Code). Create a file named ssh, save it, and put it inside boot. Create a new file, wpa_supplicant, in the same directory. Please write the following inside the conf
nmap to find it you can then ssh into it after you see You can reach me by sending an ssh to This will prompt you to accept key, followed by the default raspberry password which you can change with passwd and use it however as a linux device, taken from a variety of forums, e. g. The Raspberry Pi. As soon as I set mine up, I posted it to org

Two for the price of one. Yes, I understand what you are saying.
The RasPI is used headless with a DAC AMP so I can play music with portable speakers. A wireless or Bluetooth connection can be used to stream music from any device or from any Added a stereo FM transmitter chip just for fun so that said music could be broadcast In this picture you will find the web page I invented to control an FM radio station.
During the first four days of use, it was fully functional for about 10 hours, off and on. The wireless cards failed after that. As a result, the internal firmware of the wireless module somehow became corrupted during idle use (i. e. As I walked away from the board for 30 minutes, I completely forgot about it). Due to this happening during Raspbian builds, I thought I may have encountered an incompatibility with the OS firmware during some unintentional upgrade or update. In order to prevent this, I installed an older version of Raspbian other than the one I purchased. When it boots up, it will look like this The issue is the same Device firmware corruption can be detected by these signs. A further 16 hours have been spent troubleshooting and nothing has worked. Neither I nor my lab's equipment are suitable to pull out the chip and completely diagnose the issue, and I are unsure about other internet findings that quickly label incidents like these a "throw it out, it's broken" scenario. As a matter of fact, it is in this case. Despite not knowing if this represents a larger issue with these "2017 model" units or an isolated incident, here is a report of my experience.
While you'll be limited to a single core and little RAM, this is a cheaper choice if you can handle the slower speed and lower RAM. The one I have does not come with headers soldered on (mine did not even come with the headers), so you can get this one if you don't need headers. You can get the Pi Zero WH instead of the Pi Zero W if you need headers. With built-in wireless, you can stick the board anywhere and run it from a MicroUSB power source. It's a small, lightweight board with no need for any other connections.
It's a fun little device. Have not tried Bluetooth yet but WiFi works very Now, I have mine configured as a headless Home Assistant server running Raspbian Stretch Lite. Any configurations I make are done over It's not been a problem with SSH, accessing HA's web site, or connecting over the wifi, but I can't test the throughput of the wireless. For example, I can stream my cameras or change the config. One of my only complaints is that when trying to stream the cameras, I often find that it really bogs down the CPU (3 cameras running at very low resolutions, bitrates, and frames per second). In light of the specifications of the unit, this might be expected. As a side note, I paid $18 for mine. Although I realize prices here may be a bit high, I am willing to pay more for items fulfilled by Amazon rather than random items bought off eBay. However, everyone must do what they feel is right!.
There is only the Pi Zero included in this deal I have nothing else to say. The only thing I needed was this, so it works well. In addition, it is now easier than ever to install the Raspberry Pi OS Reading another review, I was left with the impression that this was complicated, but in reality, it's just a matter of using the Raspberry Pi Imager to get an image onto an SD card, followed by running raspi-config, when it's booted up. The config file is used to set up passwords, wireless connectivity, etc. For instance, if you have an iPad, etc. The Raspberry Pi has been around for a long time – this is the first time you will use one When you get a full Pi, you should be good. When you have something working on the bigger system, it's better to use the zero for a specific project, such as a weather station - the zero can be used for everything. You can say whatever you want.
