Raspberry Pi Zero W $12 (More than 50% off) + Shipping from $6 @ Core Electronics (Local AU Stock)

We often get asked by OzBargainers "Can we get a discount for an RPi?". Well, today you can.

This offer is available until stock runs out. We have a larger-than-expected resupply arriving (hence the deal), so the currently stocked ones will sell out at this price.

While it's the smaller Raspberry Pi Zero W, it still packs a punch and is used for many light-weight projects. Especially where power (cost of operation) and form factor are important.

Product Info

The Raspberry Pi Zero W carries the same form factor and specifications as the original Pi Zero and provides built-in WiFi and Bluetooth (4.1 + BLE).

The Raspberry Pi Zero W has all of the Raspberry Pi goodness that you know and love, into a package that's a mere 66mm x 30.5mm x 5mm. It's tiny! Perfect for projects that would otherwise be off-limits to a full-size Raspberry Pi board, the Pi Zero W provides mini-HDMI, micro-B On-the-Go (OTG) USB port, and the ability to add an unsoldered 40-pin header for use with hardware, HATs, and other devices.

Common Questions

What accessories do I need for the Pi Zero W?

• MicroSD card with Raspbian OS (use a uSD card with good IOPS and next-level endurance)
• Raspberry Pi Micro USB Power Supply (can work off most USB sockets for power, though is more stable @ 5.1V using the RPi PSU)
• Mini HDMI to HDMI adapter
• Case

What are the main differences between the Raspberry Pi Zero W and other Raspberry Pi models?

• Smaller and more compact form factor
• Single-core 1GHz processor vs. quad-core processors
• 512MB RAM vs. up to 8GB RAM
• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth only, no Ethernet port
• Single micro USB port for data vs. multiple standard USB ports
• Mini HDMI port vs. standard HDMI port
• Same 40 GPIO pins but in a smaller footprint
• Generally much cheaper than higher-end models like the Raspberry Pi 4

What projects or applications is the Raspberry Pi Zero W best suited for?

• IoT (Internet of Things) projects
• Home automation systems
• Retro gaming consoles
• Low-cost robotics
• Network-wide ad blocker (Pi-hole)
• Portable media centers
• Smart home security systems
• Environmental monitoring stations
• Educational tools for programming and electronics
