Select the SDHC card which Etcher should have identified for you – CAUTION: make sure that you select the correct card as it willbe completely over-written. Start Etcher and select the image file, in our case it was “-raspbian-jessie.img”. for this we recommend Etcher which makes the job very easy and clear. The expanded image file should now be flashed into the micro-SDHC. We suggest that for headless applications the latest Raspian JESSIE LITE zip image is sufficient, download it from HERE.Įxpand the zip file into a separate folder, we suggest using 7zip but your favourite application should suffice. This is not necessary as it assumes that you will use the graphical interface to perform setup. ![]() ![]() The instructions found in the MagPi magazine suggested downloading the full Raspian PIXEL image. You will need a micro SDHC card with at least 8GByte capacity, we suggest a fast 16Gbyte card rated at Class 10 minimum. Connect to the Zero W using ssh over the local WiFi network.Modify the boot code (don’t worry – its not complicated!).Flash the modified Raspian image to SDHC.This brief tutorial describes a completely headless setup that does not require the extra hardware and can be performed over the local Wi-Fi network. This is because in order to activate the Wi-Fi connection, the simplest way is to use a keyboard, mouse and screen which potentially defeats the object of the Zero W! However, order to get a Zero W up and running is not quite as simple as it could be. The new Rapberry Pi Zero W released last month is a major step forward for so-called “headless” or standalone controllers.
