Raspberry Pi Zero

Raspberry Pi zero is a revolutionary board released by Raspberry after model B. It comes with super slim and attractive design. Zero is more based on the very first model released because community is demanding for more compact board to use in small devices or projects that is the main reason for releasing model Zero.

Raspberry Pi Zero I/O: 

Micro SD card:

Raspberry Pi Zero comes with inbuilt SD card holder for providing space for OS and another program to execute.

Mini HDMI:

Mini HDMI port is provided for connecting external display devices to the board.

Micro USB:

Micro USB ports are provided for providing power and connecting external devices to the board i.e. keyboard, mouse.

GPIO:

GPIO pins are the most important part in any board Raspberry Pi Zero come with 40 GPIO pins so that you can interact with different sensors and devices. 

Composite Video:

There's an RCA composited video output via two (unpopulated) pins, so you can hook the Pi Zero up to older display equipment that accepts a phono plug as an input.

What model Zero don’t have:

The only de-merit that model ZERO have is wireless connectivity like Bluetooth or Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Model Zero don’t have inbuilt Bluetooth or Wi-Fi due to lack of space which is a major De-Merit in this board.
