Raspberry Pi has been used to play video and music since the very first board landed in the hands of an enthusiast. Its use as a media platform is legendary, and for good reason.
What is the Raspberry Pi zero good for?
The price and size of the Raspberry Pi Zero make it ideal for embedded projects such as data collection, home automation and body cameras. There is enough power to run our code, process the results and upload for later analysis, all via this tiny computer.

Can a Pi Zero be used as a touchscreen?
For example, our 5″ HDMI touch backpack which is the smallest all-in-one display we carry can be powered from the Pi Zero’s USB port and provide a touchscreen at the same time. (Shown here with a Pi 2 because, well, the Pi Zero wasn’t out at the time) To connect an HDMI device, you’ll need 2 things, a Mini HDMI to HDMI Adapter and an HDMI Cable.
Do you need HDMI adapter for Raspberry Pi Zero?
The HDMI adapter is required because the Pi Zero does not have a standard size HDMI port, instead the port is slimmer and smaller to keep the Zero petite. The adapter is pretty straight forward to use – plug it into the Pi Zero and the port is now large enough for any standard HDMI cable
How big is the Raspberry Pi Zero card?
At 65mm x 30mm, the Zero is smaller than a credit card, and it’s only 5mm thick to boot. It also weighs just nine grams. So cheap and small is the Raspberry Pi Zero that the Raspberry Pi Foundation is giving them away with the 40th issue of its official magazine, MagPi, which is in all good news agents now (if you’re lucky).
