Are you interested in wearable-tech and gadgets? Do you want to know more about how you can use the Raspberry Pi Zero computer? This book has a series of projects which will show you some of the possibilities with wearable-tech and the Pi Zero, guiding you through each one from start to finish.
The Raspberry Pi Zero is a revolutionary product, designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. This tiny computer provides powerful features, in spite of being such a small size; it measures a mere 65 x 35 mm! One of the advantages of its tiny size is that it is ideal to be used in wearable-tech projects.
You will begin at the beginning (as all good journeys do!) and learn how to install the required software for your upcoming projects. You will also learn how to control electronic devices with the GPIOZero Python library. Next, you will be creating some stylish wearable-tech projects such as a motion-reactive LED cap and Tweet-activated LED T-shirt. Towards the end of the book, you will be creating some useful health and fitness wearable-tech projects; these will help you monitor your heart-rate, track your movements with GPS, and count your footsteps with your own pedometer.
By the end of the book, you will have created a range of wearable-tech projects and learned enough about your Raspberry Pi Zero that you should be able to adapt these projects further or come up with your own creations!
