- Raspberry Pi Zero USB/Ethernet Gadget Tutorial
A single microUSB to USB adapter or cable is all you need to get local networking, power, and internet access to your Raspberry Pi Zero. In a few easy steps you can set up the Pi as a USB/ethernet device and your computer will recognize it just like plug and play printers, scanners, and other devices. Internet access is shared to the Pi from your computer. SSHing and remote desktop access works too. Follow along in the video and I'll show you how to set it up!

Three years old and this tutorial was like the discovery of the Rosetta Stone.
Thanks, much appreciated.
I can fully agree and now it's 5 years old!
@@permanentlypatriotic so true
6 years now and still legit
Worked for me but took some finagling. For some reason even after sharing my computer's wi-fi connection, my pi zero couldn't ping google. Took a few reboots and it did. I think it might have just been taking a bit longer for the connection to get shared. Not a biggie.
What did take some sleuthing though was when I was trying to connect to my pi with Remote Desktop Connection. I kept getting "error - problem connecting". I found a solution on stack exchange. I connected to pi via SSH and then typed the following:
sudo apt-get remove xrdp
sudo apt-get install vnc4server
sudo apt-get install xrdp
sudo service xrdp restart
sudo reboot
After that I was able to pull up the desktop for my pi zero!
Thanks for the guide and video, huge help! Now I need to see if I can just plug my zero into the USB port on my router and if it will still power up and get an internet connection...
Thanks man. I was in the same boat, and this solution worked perfectly!
Thank you from me too!
installing the vnc4server was the trick to install also the xrdp. :)
As per the shared connection issue, in my case the reason was different network on USB. I set the IP for USB network interface manually (no DHCP) and the same IP on RPi (possible in cmdline.txt by adding ip=... parameter) "/etc/init.d/networking restart" was then needed to access internet from RPi
Got lots of precious information right here. I had been trying to browse around on how to hook up pi zero with pc and this is the most thorough steps on how to do it. This the utmost tutorial after five years later. Thank you Circuit basics and Thank you TH-cam.👍👍👍
This video saved me from buying HDMI converters and connectors. Thanks for this video. I wish it will work for me without a fight.
Fantastic tutorial. lowest number of components to up and run raspberry pi zero.
On Windows 7, the driver is under Microsoft Corporation instead of Microsoft
Thank you so much! I pulled out my old pi zero v1.3 and really want to mess around with it but didn't know how to set up the shared wifi!
Well done video. I have watched a few on this. audio is clear but even with my volume on my phone cranked up bit hard to hear.
is there any way to also tell the pi to simultaneously manifest itself as a USB AUDIO SOUND CARD to the Laptop (on top of all your stuff).....so that the pi somehow sends it's own Rasbian sound into the Laptop....and then we hear it?
This is very cool. Would it work if you connected more than one pi zero to a PC?
If they all had a different name, yes.
PLEASE! Make sure to make a text file called SSH in the boot folder (no extension).
I'm creating the file but it seems to always get deleted when I boot up the pi. Any suggestions?
@@ShadoWafel Yes, it deletes it automatically, but you should be able to SSH into it and enable it permanently in raspi-config. There is a good Reddit post about this. Good luck!
Nice tutorial. I am win 10 user.
Initially zero was detected as COM Port device.
Just right click on that COM port device, select Update driver", there select RNDIS and there you go.
Thank You!
Best so far. I seen many video on how to and is a full and complete explanation and steps to follow. thanks great help
great video, but how do you do that from Linux? it always seems that you need to use windows to remote use a linux box!
Here is a Linux version th-cam.com/video/MJ084wtjiWM/w-d-xo.html
also under ssh in putty enable x11 it worked for me so I recommend it
Very well done. You explained how to do it very clearly. Thanks
I liked that, does it matter whether your computer has gigabit or not ? Just works either way ?
very instructive tutorial... Thanks!!!
Hey awesome tutorial, how can i set up my pi zero on mac?
no
I got an error that popped up saying "Network Error: Connection Refused" do I have to install a different type of driver? I'm working on Windows 10 Home
Great tutorial, thanx.
The pi is recognised as a unknown usb device. Also the right driver just isnt there.. Someone got a solution for that problem?
I had the same problem on Windows 7 and that was because I have connected the RaspberryPi through a USB hub. If I connect it directly to the laptop's USB port this issue no longer appears.
Great tutorial !
Does it work on the standard (no wifi or bluetooth) pi zero ?
I did get this working. But do you know a way to pipe the audio from the R-Pi ZW through the USB so it comes out the PC speakers?
yes
do you have to use Raspbian jessie
it is a great method......effective and practical
Can't get this working on Windows 10 at all. It's coming up in device manager as Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed). I've tried all usb ports, hubs, uninstalled all usb drivers, reinstalled all drivers, rebooted, you name it. Any ideas?
I'm having the same issue, let me know if you figure it out
I gave up. Ended up just using a usb network adapter and connected to it that way,
This will get you threw the problem. You have to install bonjour onto your windows 10 pc as it does not know what to do with a .local address. learn.adafruit.com/turning-your-raspberry-pi-zero-into-a-usb-gadget/ethernet-gadget link to bonjour support.apple.com/kb/DL999?locale=en_US hope this helps!!
Thanks for your help
With the newer Raspibian versions, you need to put a file named "ssh" (no .extension) into the root directory of boot to enable ssh.
Hello i followed all your setup as you did it i get no yellow triangle in device manger and i do see the USB Ethernet/RNDIS gadget in the network adapters But i can not ssh into it can you please help me?
joseph chrzempiec I have the same issue. Did you get it figured out?
Hello yes what i had to do is Install on the raspberry pi i had to install remote desktop server on the Pi zero. For me to get it to work.
Thanks man. That fixed it for me
I couldn’t get it to ssh so I port forwarded port 22
Beautiful tutorial, you are a great teacher, I am using Pi Zero W to control LEDs through internet
How can I connect to the internet and make it independent of my Lap Top
You have to connect it to router via Ethernet or wifi, give it static IP and do some port forwarding on the router to allow traffic from internet to your raspberry (if you want to control it from anywhere)
But you must make sure it’s secure , so ssh with public keys is recommended way to go, and disable password logins on your PI
Can this procedure be used for a desktop system where lan is connected is the steps involved same .Pls let me knowif any changes have to me while config
Can you share both WiFi and Ethernet so it will work whichever way you are connected?
windows10 does not support remote ndis driver.I am spend a lots of time but not changed. Bonjour is not working.
after i play with the pi zero is it safe to connect it to a monitor with keyboard/mouse with out any modifications?
I did with mine. Shouldn't give you any problems.
I am missing the remote NDIS compatible device driver
Thank you so much. you just saved the day. :)
I'm using windows 10. I followed all steps. The device manager does not list RNDIS Ethernet Gadget. Under Ports (com& Lpt) I still have a new USP device connected to COM3. Please advise.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Hello, do you know if this works for the Rpi compute module?
On windows 10 so no driver issues. Using latest raspios lite, got "Network error. Connection refused" so put a blank file with no extension in the root of the sd card called "ssh" and it enabled ssh on next boot.
Could I connect to it with a micro-usb to ethernet adapter. I want to connect the pi-zero to a wired router for mobile internet.How would that work?
also make a file called shh in the rootfolder one the sd card but don't put a extention!
one=on
Great tutorial, you helped me a lot. Thank you for that. However I have one problem. I am trying to connect a pi 1 b+ (through lan) and pi 0 (USB) via ssh, which works great but I only can get the internet sharing for the b+ (ehternet). I dont even have the dropdown to choose the pi zero (ethernet 3). Is it because of windows 10? Anyone has this problem or can share valuable insight? Thank you
and for anyone who might by having the same problem i have found this solution, though its not exactly what Ive been trying to do: www.raspberrypi.org/magpi/share-internet-to-the-raspberry-pi-zero/
Windows 7 - cannot get this to work. I'm not clear... do I or do I NOT need to have the 'Bonjour' service installed to make this work? I know my image is good - I can use the miniHDMI output and view it boot up to the Raspian desktop.
I have tried powering it directly from the laptop (as shown in the video) as well as the suggestion of Francisco (below) to power it remotely first and then plug it in. Either way - I get an entry in my Device Manager|Network Adapters|USB Ethernet/RNDIS Gadget.
Any suggestions??
I have the same problem... On Windows 10 there is no "Remote NDIS Compatible Device" :/
I have a fix for this!! Had same problem, device appered under Ports (COM & LPT) section in device manager(it will appear as comX where x is your com number, for me it was com7.
Found it here: blog.gbaman.info/?p=791 under comments section.
All u need to do is to install apple bonjur:

Yes I know ! Thx you, I was doing a video to explain it easely but got caught by time haha
7:51 there is *Boot Options* Can you make video explaining this in detail?
I want to boot Pi W with Raspbian from USB Drive.
Perfect video
After getting the ssh section to work on windows 10, i could only share the internet by bridging the connection as opposed to sharing my Ethernet/wireless connection, which did not work.
pi zero is real handy........i know that if you run the tinycore os on it.......it's very fast.
you can do professional digital audio work on a pi zero..........tinycore os has the tools in it's free apps list
tools such as "non mixer" "non timeline" are full DAW tools for professional audio.
The free tools support linux vst plugins and windows vst's for audio work.
the pi zero is no toy........it can be used for professional purposes when running OS's such as "tinycore linux R Pi" free os.
oh thanks so much !!
Can this be done so I can boot my raspberry pi zero with retro Arch and through the shared wifi connection from my laptop be able to update it's software and emulators as if I'm using a raspberry pi zero W
So with Internet Sharing, does the Pi Zero end up being NATed behind your PC or bridged? For example would the Pi Zero end up getting an IP Address from your LAN (bridged) or from your PC (NAT)?
ICS makes it own network. So the pi would be NATed behind them PC. Though I don't see why you couldn't bridge it also.
for you guys who have trouble with windows 10 and the pi registering as serial COM device: see latest comment here www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comments/4xd4rs
Thanks so much!!
Can i use this as a usb storage to ethernet nas adapter?
Is this method applicable for NOOBS download too?? Instead of using Raspbian Jessie (Raspbian Stretch)??
I cant seem to get my mac sharing internet to the RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget. It connects with the Pi no problem. But the network is also yellow and says "RNDIS/Ethernet Gadget has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the Internet."
If I give it an IP and get the RNDIS connected, the Pi no longer connects via ssh.
READ HERE!
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS: CONNECT THE MICRO USB TO THE CORRECT PORT OF RASPBERRY PI ZERO!
There are two ports PWR and USB you must connect to USB. I've spent hours downloading and formatting due to comments about wrong versions of Jessie etc.
How to headless usb ssh into the pi on kali linux ?? (EVERYTHING is working on windows but I can't get it done on linux)
I successfully followed the instructions until the end. When I log in through remote desktop, though, instead of the raspbian desktop, I get the linux terminal. Why is this? Help?
you are the best
how do I use the pi. I want to connect it to my ps2 slim though ethernet and connect the usb hdd to the pi. this is so I can load games faster since the ps2 has slow usb.
One problem, I Can't find "Remote NDIS Compatible Device" in Windows 10 Pro.
Can You help me please?
any idea how to do it on mac?
An issue I found with this is that I couldn't SSH into it, I had to boot it up with a display & Mouse and go into the config settings and enable SSH & VNC. FYI
Any idea what to do if the RNDIS Gadget thing doesn't show up in my list of Other Devices in Device Manager? I've installed Bonjour, and still not having any luck.
sorry windows 10 is fucked
Will this work with the rpi3b
I can't get it working in Debian Linux Buster. I have done everything. This must be a microsoft only feature.
now 7-year old.. still usefull
I've hit a wall. I've set my internet adaptor to share but raspberry pi can't access it, even though I'm able to ping the device from CMD.
i get to the stage where i can ping raspberrypi.local, but when I try and ssh with putty i get a connection refused error.
I try to follow the process until the sharing the network and it goes into a blue screen and restart my computer so will this happen when the internet is too slow or wt
Does it work with RPi3?
Hello, Debian Jessi is no longer available, Raspberry Foundation is recommending Debian Buster
I have tried with balenaEtcher with no luck. Would anyone help please, Thanks
THe very last part doesn't work for me, when I try to "login to xrdp". It says error - problem connecting. PLEASE HELP

I was unable to get an SSH connection to the Pi-Zero until I created a totally empty "ssh" file in the root directory of the Pi's SD card. Currently having a lot of problems getting the Internet connection sharing configured, so that the Pi can use my normal Ethernet connection to the Internet. From the Pi, my ping attempts always come back with "Temporairly unable to resolve name" no matter what i try. Still working on it...
I never could get the Windows-10 Internet Connection Sharing to work between my hardwired Ethernet connection to the Internet and the USB connection to the raspberry pi zero. It was set up correctly, but just wouldn't allow the Pi Zero's USB connection to communicate with the Internet no matter what I tried. I was able to work around this however by creating a "wpa_supplicant.conf" file, which allowed the Pi Zero to connect directly to my wifi network and get to the Internet that way. (The USB connection still works too, which is more convenient for SSH'ing into the Pi Zero).
Once connected to the Internet, I wasn't able to install XRDP using the apt-get command - but found that the apt command worked if I spelled "xrdp" in lower case. I was also able to use apt-get to update and upgrade the Pi Zero's OS too!
Whenever I share my network to the Pi, it automaticly disconnects all internet on the PC. Any advice?
when i try to connect with putty it says "Network Error:connection refused" but the device is seen as in the video.
Ian Same here did u figured it out
i need a file sharing server on cheap please help?
Does this work with RASPBIAN JESSIE WITH PIXEL?
I also want an answer to this...i can't connect with PuTTY due to the error shown here. The fix in the video doesn't work for me. Everything works as stated, but it just won't budge...
once your in raspi cofig instead of doing that crap he did go into interfacing options and enable vnc server
when i share the internet connection it doesnt work on the pi when i try to pig it any ideas?
I followed all the instructions and when I ssh I cannot connect Network error: Connection refused. I can ping the device. Any ideas would be appreciated
create a blank file called ssh (no file extension) in the root folder, that way it will enable ssh for the pi.
Where can I get the micro USB to ISB adapter like that. EBay no gopd?!
I think its a default samsung charging usb adapter tbh :p but he just used a micro-usb to usb converter

Network error, connection refused, what to do?
I can SSH in but Windows 10 will no longer share it's internet connection this way, rendering the whole project useless.
If someone has a solution, let me know.
the device is recognised as a unknown usbdevice and "request for device description failed". And the driver cannot be found, any idea why?
globalcookie i have exactly the same problem. You are probably also using Windows 10 right?
GamerLappen yes
I have the same problem :(
globalcookie enable ssh
Srivishnu Saravanakumar ??? SSH is enabled from the beginning
You need to add an empty file with name "ssh" and no extensions to the SD card.
XRDP not getting installed bro
out of curiousity, why format a sd card you are about to image? it makes no sense.
whenever i share my internet connection from my ethernet it wont let me ssh into my pi anymore
my windows 10 does not recognise the raspberry pi 0 in other devices in stead its recognizing it in usb controllers
same thing happened to me. were you able to find a fix?
CheapAssReviews nah I used my pi 3 to configure the raspbian image(not with pixel) then put it on the device to connected to the internet then I SSH to it
haxhxm ah okay thanks. I'll have to wait for my wifi dongle.
Ended up getting it to work. For people with the same problem on Windows 10. (Shows up as COM3, COM4, or not at all) Had to plug it into a windows 7 machine and get it configured to work on there. Then what I did was power it on using the usb power, then after about 90 seconds when it was fully booted, I plugged in the other usb to the computer as instructed. The rest of the directions went smooth as ice. Should also mention that to get the remote desktop to work on windows 7, I had to install sudo apt-get install tightvncserver . Anyway haxhxm, you're the man. Peace.
How to do this from linux?
For some reason, my Pi Zero is only recognized by Windows if the SD card is unplugged. Does anyone know why this happens?
