Pimoroni Pirate Audio Headphone Amp for Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is the latest addition to the Raspberry Pi Zero family, featuring a quad-core processor that delivers a 40% boost in single-threaded performance and up to 5x more multi-threaded performance compared to the original single-core Raspberry Pi Zero W.

Now available with a pre-soldered GPIO header, including a color-coded version – choose your preferred option before adding it to your cart!

As the successor to the groundbreaking Zero W, the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is a seamless drop-in replacement, maintaining the same form factor, connectors, and mounting holes. It's perfect for upgrading your existing projects!

For those starting fresh, we also offer a great-value starter kit that includes everything you need.

The Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is powered by a quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A53 CPU running at 1GHz, housed in the Raspberry Pi RP3A0 system-in-package (SiP). This SiP integrates a Broadcom BCM2710A1 die with 512MB of LPDDR2 SDRAM, significantly boosting the board's performance.

Continuing the legacy of its predecessor, the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W features 2.4GHz 802.11 b/g/n wireless LAN, Bluetooth 4.2, and support for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), along with modular compliance certification.

Key features include a microSD card slot for the Raspberry Pi Operating System, a CSI-2 camera connector, a USB On-The-Go (OTG) port, and an unpopulated footprint for a HAT-compatible 40-pin GPIO header. Video output is provided via a mini HDMI port, with composite video output accessible through the board's test points if required.

The Zero 2 W is powered through a micro-USB socket, requiring a 5V 2.5A power supply, similar to previous models.

Sharing the same dimensions as the original Raspberry Pi Zero, the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W fits into most existing Raspberry Pi Zero cases – be sure to check for compatibility markers. Our top pick is the FLIRC Zero case!

Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 is a compact camera from Raspberry Pi. It offers an IMX708 12-megapixel sensor with HDR, and features phase detection autofocus. Camera Module 3 is available in standard and wide-angle variants, both of which are available with or without an infrared cut filter.

Camera Module 3 can be used to take full HD video as well as stills photographs, and features an HDR mode up to 3 megapixels. Its operation is fully supported by the libcamera library, including Camera Module 3’s rapid autofocus feature: this makes it easy for beginners to use, while offering plenty for advanced users. Camera Module 3 is compatible with all Raspberry Pi computers.

The PCB size and mounting holes remain the same as for Camera Module 2. The Z dimension differs: due to the improved optics, Camera Module 3 is several millimetres taller than Camera Module 2.

Key Features:

Back-illuminated 12-megapixel Sony IMX708 sensor

High signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)

Integrated 2D Dynamic Defect Pixel Correction (DPC)

Fast Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF)

QBC Re-mosaic function

HDR mode supporting up to 3-megapixel output

CSI-2 data output

I2C fast-mode compatible serial communication

2-wire serial control for focus mechanism

Compatible with:

Raspberry Pi 4

Raspberry Pi 5

Raspberry Pi Zero

Your new Raspberry Pi Zero has its own camera port, but it's smaller than the one on the Raspberry Pi 4, so how do you connect your awesome Raspberry Pi Camera Module or High Quality Camera to it?

This little cable will sort you right out! It has a Zero-sized (22-pin) connection on one side, and the usual Camera Module (15-pin) connection on the other - allowing you to swap your Camera Module's cable for this one and plug it straight into your Raspberry Pi Zero.

It's 15cm end to end and as flexible and strong as you'll ever need, this will be perfect for your miniature camera project!
