Getting started with your Raspberry Pi Zero W Starter Kit

Updated 12 January 2018

Who should follow this tutorial?

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.

What you'll need

Where to from here?

Now that our Pi is up and running, you may be wondering where to go from here. We've put together a free online Raspberry Pi Workshop for Beginners which will get you up to speed with a lot of the features and capabilities of your new Pi. In this one video we've covered the essentials of Chapter 1. I'm using a different model Pi in the workshop, but that won't matter - We're using the same operating system here, and all the instructions will be the same
