Raspberry Pi’s nye Pi Zero board kan nu leveres

element14 annoncerer, at de nu kan levere Raspberry Pi's nye Pi Zero board, der med dimensioner på 65mm x 30mm x 5mm (lxbxh) er det hidtil mindste Raspberry Pi board (in english).

This ultra-slim Raspberry Pi board is the smallest form factor Raspberry Pi on the market
today at only 65mm long by 30mm wide and 5mm deep. To save space and reduce cost on
the new Raspberry Pi Zero there is one Micro USB data port and a Mini HDMI port which
supports full HD 1080P output.

The 40pin GPIO contains the same pin out as per the Raspberry Pi 2 but is unpopulated
providing the flexibility to use only the connections the solution requires. The Raspberry Pi
Zero uses the single-core BCM2835 processor, which can now be over-clocked to 1GHz, the
board has 512MB of onboard RAM with a MicroSD port for storage.

- We are excited to be further extending our Raspberry Pi product portfolio with the Raspberry Pi Zero, the smallest and cheapest Raspberry Pi on the market, says Claire Doyle, Global Head of Raspberry Pi at element14.

- element14 is the go to destination for the full portfolio of Raspberry Pi models ranging from the latest high performance Raspberry Pi 2 model B, through the Raspberry Pi 1 series of models A+, B and B+, to the newly added base model Pi Zero. A complete ecosystem of accessories is available for all series of the Raspberry Pi, so that users can enjoy the 100’s of applications the Raspberry Pi enables no matter what the model, she says.
 
It is expected that Pi Zero will appeal to hobbyists and makers as well as industrial
engineers looking to create solutions where size and low power consumption is at a
premium such as robots, drones for capturing video, or to connect to add-ons for motor
control.

element14 has two Raspberry Pi Zero packages available, both include a mini HDMI to
HDMI adapter and Micro USB ‘On the Go’ adapter, and the second includes the NOOBS
MicroSD card.
