Raspberry Pi Zero

This can be a Wi-Fi-capable model or a basic version without Wi-Fi. If you use the version without Wi-Fi, we have a tutorial on how to create a Wi-Fi antenna on the communication mast.

Although the basic Zero is hard to find these days, we still support this board because the Dolphin project started when only the first version of the Zero was available. As the Zero W 2 is more capable, main development is now shifting to this board, which will bring new onboard image processing such as advanced object recognition, image-pattern-based navigation, and more.
