## Common mistakes

- Feeding 5V into GPIO pins: GPIO logic is 3.3V and not 5 V tolerant ([source](https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/raspberry-pi.html))
- Back-powering through the USB ports while also powering via GPIO pins 2 and 6: avoid back-powering through the USB ports ([source](https://compoden.com/products/raspberry-pi-zero-2-w-1ghz-quad-core-wi-fi-bluetooth-512mb-ram))
- Assuming the header is pre-soldered: the 40-pin GPIO header is unpopulated ([source](https://compoden.com/products/raspberry-pi-zero-2-w-1ghz-quad-core-wi-fi-bluetooth-512mb-ram))

## What we could not confirm

- 40-pin header: pin names are the GPn names as printed on the official page; the alternate-function table is not covered (only GP2 and GP3 functions are given).
- Specs come from the store listing; the official product specification page for this model is not covered.
- Typical current draw: not stated in an official source.
- Max current per GPIO pin: not stated in the official source.
