What is MicroPi?

The MicroPi exploits the tiny RaspberryPi Zero W microcomputer. Similar in function to devices like the PirateBox, LibraryBox, BibleBox and Lightstream Pocket, it operates as a portable website, permitting the sharing of files with WiFi enabled devices in places not served by the internet.

Internationally available, the RaspberryPi Zero W includes everything required for this function. Its memory, a class 10 micro-SD flash memory card, is available in sizes ranging from 8GB to 512GB, enabling an enormous quantity of material to be shared by this tiny device.

About half the size of a credit card, the device can be loaded with text, audio, video, smartphone apps, images, or any other digital file. A common use case would be to provide a WiFi server in a school, coffee house or church. The addition of a powerbank style battery provides autonomy for portable use.

It can be used in two modes.

  • Standalone WiFi server
  • Network Multimedia Server
