Q: What is the difference between the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B and the new Pi Zero?

A:  The new Raspberry Pi Zero is the entry level model of the Raspberry Pi. 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.

The Pi Zero uses the single-core BCM2835 processor with 512MB RAM as used in the Raspberry Pi 1 series , versus the newer, faster BCM2836 quad-core processor on the latest high performance Raspberry Pi 2.

To save space the following products have been replaced with alternative solutions or removed completely:

Both boards are still powered by a standard Micro USB power supply and still support the NOOBS & Raspbian operating system which can be installed on the MicroSD card.

Q. What is the product designed to do?

It is expected that this model 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.

Q: What accessories are compatible with the Raspberry Pi Zero?

A:  Dependent upon the end solution you are developing the range of expansion boards will be compatible with the new Raspberry Pi Zero, BUT it will be necessary to solder the GPIO header to the board with the number of pins required (i.e. 26 or 40pins). Otherwise the standard peripheral accessories will all work with the Pi Zero (see applicable connector types).
