The volume of RAM of the device is 512 MB, a microSD slot is also provided, two microUSB connectors for power and connecting peripheral devices, the MiniHDMI connector, as well as two unpaired connectors: a 40-pin spinning connector input-output and composite video output. The dimensions of the Raspberry Pi Zero - 65*30*5 mm.

The microcomputer operates under the Raspbian Linux display and is compatible with most programs developed for other models of the Raspberry Pi family. For example, the Minecraft computer game and SCRATCH development environment can be launched on Zero.

It is already possible to place an order for Raspberry Pi Zero at a price declared by developers in some online stores. In this case, the necessary adapters, contacts and cables will have to be purchased separately. There is also a basic set worth $ 30, including all the necessary components.
