Because you plug it into the wall If it’s not powered you won’t be able to use your keyboard and mouse at the same time (or at least I couldn’t!). Note that you’ll likely need a HDMI micro adapter Plug the Raspberry Pi Zero W into a TV.Here’s a good blog post on how to set it up but it assumes you’re not afraid to use SSH.Īlternatively, you can do what I’ve done: The Raspberry Pi Zero W is a bit of challenge to get setup. If you have a classic Pi plug the device into your local network.

If you are devices on the same local network (i.e.The summary points which is great for us makers / Pi enthusiasts is: RealVNC - it’s a company that provides remote access software called VNC Viewer, available on Linux, Mac, Windows and more. We won’t be using SSH in this blog post but, if you pay attention, you’ll see where to easily activate it. This is great if you’re familiar with the command and happy to use ONLY the command line.
