## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE05342:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE05342:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

This Addon board for Raspberry Pi Zero, Zero W and Zero WH is the perfect option for anyone wanting to run a Headless Pi Zero from a standard USB connection.

This simple circuit board breaks out a standard Type-A USB male connector to the connection points on the underside of the Pi Board (note that these are the same on all Pi Zero sized boards). To make it work all you are required to do is to orient it correctly and use the included Nylon hardware to secure it in place.

If you need help with running a Raspberry Pi Headless, there are many guides available on the web. Adafruit have recently written [a great guide on the process](https://learn.adafruit.com/turning-your-raspberry-pi-zero-into-a-usb-gadget/ethernet-gadget) that is being kept up to date.

**No Soldering Required!**

This board is compatible with:

- Pi Zero
- Pi Zero Wireless
- Pi Zero Wireless with Headers
 
You could also choose to use this board as a simple way to power a Raspberry Pi Zero, without using SSH and other methods to access it. Just plug it into a USB port, then connect it to a display with the HDMI adapter and away you go.
