Pimoroni Grow Kit for Raspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is the latest product in our most affordable range of single-board computers. The successor to the breakthrough Raspberry Pi Zero W, Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is a form factor–compatible drop-in replacement for the original board.



The board incorporates a quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A53 CPU, clocked at 1GHz. At its heart is a Raspberry Pi RP3A0 system-in-package (SiP), integrating a Broadcom BCM2710A1 die with 512MB of LPDDR2 SDRAM. The upgraded processor provides Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W with 40% more single-threaded performance, and five times more multi-threaded performance, than the original single-core Raspberry Pi Zero.

Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W offers 2.4GHz 802.11 b/g/n wireless LAN and Bluetooth 4.2, along with support for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and modular compliance certification.

The board has a microSD card slot, a CSI-2 camera connector, a USB On-The-Go (OTG) port, and an unpopulated footprint for a HAT-compatible 40-pin GPIO header. It is powered via a micro USB socket. Video output is via a mini HDMI port; composite video output can easily be made available via test points if needed.

Sharing the same form factor as the original Raspberry Pi Zero, Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W fits inside most existing Raspberry Pi Zero cases.

The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is the latest addition to the Raspberry Pi Zero family, featuring a quad-core processor that delivers a 40% boost in single-threaded performance and up to 5x more multi-threaded performance compared to the original single-core Raspberry Pi Zero W.

Now available with a pre-soldered GPIO header, including a color-coded version – choose your preferred option before adding it to your cart!

As the successor to the groundbreaking Zero W, the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is a seamless drop-in replacement, maintaining the same form factor, connectors, and mounting holes. It's perfect for upgrading your existing projects!

For those starting fresh, we also offer a great-value starter kit that includes everything you need.

The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is powered by a quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A53 CPU running at 1GHz, housed in the Raspberry Pi RP3A0 system-in-package (SiP). This SiP integrates a Broadcom BCM2710A1 die with 512MB of LPDDR2 SDRAM, significantly boosting the board's performance.

Continuing the legacy of its predecessor, the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W features 2.4GHz 802.11 b/g/n wireless LAN, Bluetooth 4.2, and support for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), along with modular compliance certification.

Key features include a microSD card slot for the Raspberry Pi Operating System, a CSI-2 camera connector, a USB On-The-Go (OTG) port, and an unpopulated footprint for a HAT-compatible 40-pin GPIO header. Video output is provided via a mini HDMI port, with composite video output accessible through the board's test points if required.

The Zero 2 W is powered through a micro-USB socket, requiring a 5V 2.5A power supply, similar to previous models.

Sharing the same dimensions as the original Raspberry Pi Zero, the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W fits into most existing Raspberry Pi Zero cases – be sure to check for compatibility markers. Our top pick is the FLIRC Zero case!

The Raspberry Pi Zero W is one of the most compact and cost-effective members of the Raspberry Pi family, yet it’s loaded with essential features like WiFi, Bluetooth, mini-HDMI, a micro-USB port, and a camera connector, making it ideal for a wide range of projects.

This model includes pads for the familiar 40-pin GPIO header found on larger Raspberry Pis. If you need the GPIO header, you can easily solder a 40-pin header (available separately in our essentials kit). The GPIO header allows you to add HATs, pHATs, or connect other components using jumper wires.

Prefer a pre-soldered option? Check out the Raspberry Pi Zero WH, which comes with a pre-soldered header.

The Zero W is powered by a 1GHz BCM2835 processor with 512MB RAM, offering solid performance for a variety of fun and practical projects, even if it doesn’t match the power of the Raspberry Pi 4.

We highly recommend pairing your Zero W with our Zero Essentials Kit, which includes the necessary USB and HDMI adapter cables, along with a variety of GPIO headers, to get the most out of your Raspberry Pi Zero.

Additionally, we offer a range of protective cases to keep your Raspberry Pi Zero safe and stylish.

Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 is a compact camera from Raspberry Pi. It offers an IMX708 12-megapixel sensor with HDR, and features phase detection autofocus. Camera Module 3 is available in standard and wide-angle variants, both of which are available with or without an infrared cut filter.

Camera Module 3 can be used to take full HD video as well as stills photographs, and features an HDR mode up to 3 megapixels. Its operation is fully supported by the libcamera library, including Camera Module 3’s rapid autofocus feature: this makes it easy for beginners to use, while offering plenty for advanced users. Camera Module 3 is compatible with all Raspberry Pi computers.

The PCB size and mounting holes remain the same as for Camera Module 2. The Z dimension differs: due to the improved optics, Camera Module 3 is several millimetres taller than Camera Module 2.

The Raspberry Pi Sense HAT gives your Raspberry Pi an array of sensing capabilities. The on-board sensors allow you to monitor pressure, humidity, temperature, colour, orientation, and movement. The bright 8x8 RGB LED matrix allows you to visualise data from the sensors, and the five-button joystick lets users interact with your projects.

The Sense HAT was originally developed for use on the International Space Station, as part of the educational Astro Pi programme run by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in partnership with the European Space Agency. It is well suited to many projects that require position, motion, orientation, or environmental sensing. The Sense HAT is powered by the Raspberry Pi computer to which it is connected.

An officially supported Python library gives you easy access to all on-board sensors, the LED matrix, and the joystick. The Sense HAT is compatible with any Raspberry Pi model featuring a 40-pin GPIO header.

The sensors enable you to read:

Gyroscope

Accelerometer

Magnetometer

Temperature

Barometric pressure

Humidity

Colour and brightness

High Quality 6mm Wide Camera Lens from Raspberry Pi 
High Quality 16mm 10MP Telephoto Camera Lens from Raspberry Pi

The incredible new High Quality (HQ) Camera module from Raspberry Pi offers a higher resolution (12 megapixels, compared to 8 megapixels), and sensitivity than the previous Camera Module v2. It features a Sony IMX477 sensor, a 200mm FPC cable for connection to your Raspberry Pi, a milled aluminium lens mount with integrated 1/4” -20 tripod mount and focus adjustment ring, and a C- to CS-mount adapter. A lens cover is also included with the module and comes pre-fitted. There’s even a small screwdriver in the box for making adjustments. It’s designed to work with interchangeable lenses in both C- and CS-mount form factors giving you ultimate flexibility with your Raspberry Pi camera projects. A C-CS mount adapter comes pre-fitted to the module.

Familiar coding
The High Quality (HQ) Camera uses the same commands as the standard Raspberry Pi Camera Module, such as libcamera (or raspistill/raspivid if you're using Buster or an even older OS image). Libcamera and similar commands will query the camera firmware for the resolution of the sensors (as they already do today) and will default to 12 megapixels for the High Quality Camera. The drivers for the High Quality (HQ) Camera are built-in to Raspberry Pi OS too, so upgrading your camera project with the High Quality Camera is a simple task.

Magnificent for Makers
A huge range of popular projects from time-lapse photography to Raspberry Pi CCTV-style systems can be made double-awesome with the new High Quality Camera module. Shoot in greater detail, with improved low-light performance and take advantage of the range of available lenses to get the perfect shot.

Incredible for Industry
The High Quality Camera provides an alternative to the Camera Module v2 for industrial and consumer applications, including security cameras which require the highest levels of visual fidelity and/or integration with specialist optics.
