I have a Model B without the wireless features and wanted to play with a camera so it made sense to invest $10 in a Pi Zero W.
Since it's the first one for me I got the cute C4Labs Zebra Zero+ protoboard setup from Adafruit at the same time.
If it works out and it's fun I will set up more Pi cameras.
First boot
- Download Raspian ZIP image from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/
- Download Etcher from https://www.balena.io/etcher/
- Run Etcher to copy image to 32GB card (32GB is overkill but it's the first one I grabbed.)
- While waiting, dig up the HDMI cable and USB keyboard.
- Discover there are many more connectors in the world and they used an HDMI I don't have.
- Order one.
- Wait a few days.
- OR headless mode https://learn.adafruit.com/raspberry-pi-zero-creation/text-file-editing
- Transfer card to Pi
- Connect HDMI monitor and USB keyboard
- Power on via a cellphone charger and a generic micro USB cable
- Log in and create an account
- Configure WiFi.
- Is there an ssh server running on this thing?
