Using solderless pins, the adapter slides onto the back of a Pi Zero GPIO.

Compatible with Raspberry Pi Zero/Zero W (NOT compatible with the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W).

The adapter PCB is printed with an alignment guide - Ensure the white SQUARE on the PCB is aligned with the GPIO pin with the SQUARE gold pad on the Pi Zero GPIO pin 1.

It's advised to connect the adapter to the Pi Zero before connecting the USB cable to the adapter. Once connected the Pi Zero can be powered on/off without issue (to prevent the serial RX/TX pins being connected before the ground pin).

The IC is used as the adapter enumerates as a Communication Device Class (CDC) device which modern (Win10/Linux/Mac OS X) operating systems have built in drivers for.

The following baud rates are supported:

You are buying a single USB to serial adapter (Pi Zero / Cluster HAT / USB Cable not included).
