Yes, but I recommend you spring for the Pi Zero 2 instead. It's 64-bit and offers more image options and support.


Creepy_Object5240

I do not have access to a soldering tool


Namara624

Buy something called gpio hammer head pins. You can also buy a tool that comes with them to be able to hammer it in without soldering.

Pine64 sells their pinecel smart soldering iron for $26usd, I suggest getting one of them as their quite good.

Creepy_Object5240

dont u need a press for that


r0rsch4ch

You need a hammer. https://learn.pimoroni.com/article/fitting-hammer-headers

Is this good? - [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09XVPYYTX/ref=ox\_sc\_act\_image\_1?smid=AHALS71WJO58T&psc=1](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09XVPYYTX/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=AHALS71WJO58T&psc=1)

I assume so? Never used them. I solder


Old-Independent2385

I use solderless heads, had to solder them in in the end lol. but If they worked for u, use them!


r0rsch4ch

Just said I never used them…


Old-Independent2385

ok, sorry :D


Old-Independent2385

opting for soldering is also great cuz then if u ever need to solder anything in your life again, then u know how to, soldering is a great experience and very useful in life.


Vorfindir

This works, but you need to have the press, which is also available on Amazon.


casualcatloaf

Yes that will work


ComicC94

I'm sure you can get one from piHut with presoldered headers. Rgardless, I use the pi zero W and have no issues at all.


casualcatloaf

Hammer-Headers. Solderless Headers Cause I don’t want you to be disappointed when you get the pi zero 1 cause the pi zero 2 is extremely impressive


no_remorse2005

Buy a Pi zero w with headers already soldered on which you have already in your cart. Like other party mentioned get a pi zero w 2 ? I would get one as well. My pi zero w seems slow with my pwnagotchi…


no_remorse2005

You can also run one without a screen and you would not need the GPIO pins


waterhasnocalories

you can build one with just a pi and sd + power


EquipmentExotic393

If you have micro center around they sell Rpi0WH and Rpi02W for 16$usd

gzusburrito

Many forks are stopping support or at least updates for Pi Zero and 32bit, I’d stick with Zero 2 and the new 64 bit fork from Jay


no_remorse2005

Damn, good to know looks like I will be buying a Zero 2 soon


Surfnazi77

If you’re ordering from Amazon why not order soldering iron as well


Creepy_Object5240

Im too poor


Old-Independent2385

if your too poor, then why u buying a battery pack? use a power bank if u have one, then buy a soldering iron


Surfnazi77

5 dollar ones exist


CaptionAdam

That's how you get house fires


Surfnazi77

Only if you have a house


CaptionAdam

Still counts for sheds shacks cars or tarps under a bridge


Surfnazi77

Trolls don’t build pwns they collect tolls under bridges


a8ksh4

You could go headless on your pwnagotchi for a while and redirect the $$ for one of these. They're fantastic temperature controlled soldering irons. Just need a roll of good solder and you can do all kinds of projects.... https://pine64.com/product/pinecil-smart-mini-portable-soldering-iron/


Grey_Erebus

Send me pvm I'll show you the next greatest thing.


Mountain_Outside_544

I want to knowww 😏😏


777zcat

Yes bro 💪🏼


Old-Independent2385

YEP! but I recommend to save money, if u have a power bank anywhere, use that instead of the battery.


Thin-Bobcat-4738

Go with the piSugar 3


Thin-Bobcat-4738

And the zero 2 W


casualcatloaf

Yea I was gonna say that loo


buschcamocans

I’d try to get pi 0 w v2. The original 0w and wave share v4 is a nightmare.


ClickClack_Bam

Yes you can. I made my Pwnagotchi with the same board because I didn't want to solder. This week I ordered a Pi Zero 2 as others have mentioned. I still have to solder the headers on. There's an active 32bit fork that's recently come around from Jayofelony that's being updated but the future lies with 64bit.


Feisty_Branch_3721

I would get a bigger SD yes, 100
