This is the new Raspberry Pi Zero W - with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth | #Coding #Maker #MakerED #MakerSpaces  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
The Raspberry Pi Foundation has unveiled a new model of the tiny computing board, the Raspberry Pi Zero W, which adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, priced at $10.

In November 2015 the Raspberry Pi Zero was released - a tiny $5 entry-level Raspberry Pi, cheap enough that the Foundation even gave it away free with its MagPi magazine (if you could managed to grab one quick enough). Since then the tiny board has been used in projects from miniature arcade cabinets to electric skateboards, but many of these projects need wireless connections which means adding a wireless dongle and that can easily cost more than the Zero.

The new Zero W uses the same Cypress CYW43438 wireless chip as Raspberry Pi 3 Model B to provide 802.11n wireless LAN and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity.
