\nThe Raspberry Pi Zero can be especially difficult to program for Windows users.  The tiny microcomputer runs on a Linux-based operating system.  Hooking up a small computer to an external monitor is not a problem but adding keyboard or mouse can get painful without the proper resources and experience<\/span>.  <\/span>Instead,  below<\/span> <\/span><\/span>is what we can do.<\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\nFirst, an external monitor and keyboard will be needed for the initial setup.  If you haven’t done <\/span>this,  then<\/span> there is good documentation <\/span>here<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\nSecond, your main PC will need to be on the same network as your Raspberry Pi. On the Pi, you will need to get it’s IP Address.  This can be done by opening the command terminal and typing “ifconfig”  This should return a list of network information<\/span>.  Locate a line for “wlan*” and in here you will jot down the address following<\/span> the entry “inet6 addr: ” <\/span>   It should look something like:   192.168.1.12.  <\/span>You<\/span> will use this address to connect.  Note that your Raspberry Pi will most likely want you to enter <\/span>UserId<\/span> and Password.<\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\nThird, <\/span>follow<\/span> these well-written instructions here to walkthrough the process:   <\/span>https:\/\/www.raspberrypi.org\/documentation\/remote-access\/vnc\/<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\nIf all works as expected, you will be able to see the desktop of your Raspberry Pi and control it from your PC.<\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n
