Setting up your Raspberry Pi Zero Starter Kit - A guide for beginners

If this is your first experience with Raspberry Pi, and you're using a starter kit for a Raspberry Pi Zero W, then this tutorial is for you. We'll plug everything into where it needs to be, install an operating system and fire up our Pi Zero W (PZW) for the first time! We'll run through the essentials like setting up the keyboard to work properly, connecting to WiFi, and have a look at a few of the features on offer.

Very good. I've found these Raspberry Pi tutorials are some of the best ones on any topic, especially the ones where the geeks know how to explain things and don't leave steps that we non-geeks don't already know about.

Great video, well explained and thorough for setting up and using the pzw. I had mine setup in about 15 mins, never having touched one before. Thanks

This is helpful for Raspberry Pi 3 too.

I know a lot of people like Raspian and Noobs on the Zero, but I think ALARM is a much better choise, no DE makes a big difference. (ALARM=Arch Linux ARM)

How did you connect the keyboard to type the British pound symbol? You used the three ports(HDMI, USB, and the power socket) so where did you connect the keyboard?

[cryptomolotov]

Great video, really helpful! I did connect a mouse but how can I have mouse and keyboard at the same time since this Pi only has 2 micro ports one for mouse and one for power?

[potun]

How did you record the screen while setting up the pi???

[susanlin]

hello, i am new to raspberry pi. Could you please show how to use laptop as screen and mouse for raspberry pi zero w. I try your video for headless, but i got an error saying the host does not exist, and trying the troubleshooting steps without solving the problem. please help me. Thank you so much.

What was that you pulled out of your mouse. If you had told us what mouse was that I could have looked it up. Is it an emitter that the mouse uses to communicate or was it the receiver which (in that particular mouse) is housed in the mouse so it doesn't get lost?

[srinivasanrao]
