I have a new Camera Module V2 that I tried to hook up with a new Raspberry Pi Zero W with this adapter cable.

When I call raspistill -o test.jpg I get

mmal: Cannot read camera info, keeping the defaults for OV5647    
mmal: mmal_vc_component_create: failed to create component 'vc.ril.camera' (1:ENOMEM)
mmal: mmal_component_create_core: could not create component 'vc.ril.camera' (1)
mmal: Failed to create camera component
mmal: main: Failed to create camera component
mmal: Camera is not detected. Please check carefully the camera module is installed correctly

I actived the camera and tried all the things from the troubleshooting section from this website: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/raspbian/applications/camera.md

vcgencmd get_camera

shows 

supported=1 detected=0

When I try the camera module with my Raspi 3 and the original cable it works fine.
Is there any way to check if the problem is the cable or the Pi zero?
I have a breadboard and a few leds, cables and things like that, in case I could use this to build something like an amperemeter.

Everything you have mentioned here leads to either the cable or the connector on the Pi-Zero W being bad.

  • The Camera is good because it works with the Pi-3 and the other cable.
  • The settings to enable the camera look right on the config.

At this point I would try getting a new adapter cable, maybe even from a different manufacturer if possible. If that doesn't solve the problem, you are most likely looking at a bad CSI connector on the board, which is best solved with another board.
