Shut down the old pi, swap the SD card to the Zero W and you should be good to go!
Once that is done in terminal or the command line type in “sudo apt-get update” and let it do its thing, next type “sudo apt-get upgrade” and this will install all the needed components to get this to work with the Zero W. It will do its setup sequence and set you up. If you have the image already written to the SD card. If you have made a image like I did using PiBakery you can still make it work using another pi.The tell tale sign of this is the rainbow square on your screen and nothing happens with the pi. I know this has been said a million times but check that your power source has enough power (amperage) to run the pi.What does one do? Below is a few things you should look for and how to solve them, so you can get up and running. And that is why it was not booting, UGH! I just want to get tinkering in building stuff. The image that PiBakery uses is not the very latest unfortunately (Even after updating PiBakery). The Zero Wireless is new enough that it needs to have the latest and greatest image. It is awesome software, it sets up SSH, wireless, VNC all in the image so you can insert the SD card and power up and automatically the pi is Running with SSH, VNC and hooked up to local wireless. Now most of the time this is the best tool to make a image. It seems I made some easy to make but critical errors.įirst I used PiBakery for the image.
Getting the Zero W to boot up on a new image was, well, not working. Two hours in, and there I sat at my desk frustrated, inventing new expletives and debating smashing it with a hammer or asking for a refund. I just got my Raspberry Pi Zero Wireless in the mail! WHOOT!!!! I’m about to start work on my dream bot that will cost hardly anything but be a ton of fun. Happy as a little boy on Christmas morning.
