Directly connect to and program your Raspberry Pi Zero over USB
For a while, it has been possible to communicate and program a Raspberry Pi Zero via it’s USB data port. I’ve covered this useful feature before, beginning with Andrew Mulholland’s original work but I feel it’s worth covering again, particularly when…
10 Raspberry Pi Zero project ideas
Oh no, not another list, I hear you cry! 🙂 Well, I wrote this one, myself, for The Pi Hut. It’s a collection of projects that you can do with a Raspberry Pi Zero. Obviously, it has a bit of…
Raspberry Pi Zero with accelerometer and tiny, tiny screen
Jeremy Lee has taken a Raspberry Pi Zero and connected up an accelerometer sensor. He’s then written a driver to allow the sensor to act as a mouse and then recorded himself looking around a Minecraft world that is displayed…
Build a wearable time-lapse camera with a Raspberry Pi Zero
Adafruit has published a tutorial on creating a time-lapse camera using a Pi Zero, a camera module, a bit of power circuitry, a micro button and a 3D-printed case. Lovely project if you’ve got the 3D printing capability. Take a…
Build a portable Raspberry Pi Zero-based workstation
Ben Heck has done a great video tutorial/walk-through of his latest build. This time, he takes a Raspberry Pi Zero and laser-cuts a case for it to create a really small mini-laptop. Watch the video above 🙂
Mini persistence of vision rig using a Raspberry Pi Zero
Francesco Vannini has written a great tutorial which shows you how to create a persistence-of-vision device using a few components like an old CD, a PC fan, a battery and a hand-crafted LED bar. You can get some great results from…
Strapping on a Raspberry Pi Zero to a drone!
Finnian Anderson and his friend Ben James took Ben’s 250-class racing drone out for a spin. Before they did this, however, they used a lot of electrical tape to attach a Pi Zero and camera module. A little bit of start-up magic…
360 degree panorama camera using 10 Raspberry Pis!
James Mitchell loves photography. In fact, recently he took pictures of the moon with a Raspberry Pi – you can see the results here. Now, he has moved on to taking photographs of 360 degree panoramas. To do this, he’s used…
Embedding a Raspberry Pi Zero in a Robosapien
The good old Robosapien gets a Raspberry Pi brain in this great write-up from Carl Monk. The Zero is used to interface with the IR port to enable him to control the robot via wifi. Read more here and see the…
