The Raspberry Pi has long been thehobbyist choice for DIY electronics projects.
Here are ten of our favorite projects that make use of its size.
Heck, even thismini Animated GIF displaycould be modified to work with the Zero pretty easily.
The natural idea for a project here makes a tiny littleNPR One radio using a Raspberry Pi Zero.
Naturally,someone decided to use a Raspberry Pi to power one.
The idea here is to hide the Pi Zero underneath the skateboard.
The Pi then powers the motor, which youll use a Wiimote to control.
Its pretty absurd, but that doesnt make it any less fun to use.
Build a Tiny Power Supply-Sized Computer
The Pi Zeros biggest strength is its size.
One project takes advantage of that by jamming theRaspberry Pi Zero directly onto a power supply.
The idea here is simple.
Now, you’re able to just plug it into the wall and control it remotely.
This makes it practically invisible.
Build a Mobile Library
Have you seen those cute mini libraries packed with free books in neighborhoods?
Obviously, you should keep this legal, but its a fun way to share your own stuff.
The Raspberry Pi Zero can bring that back.
In this project, they use episodes ofThe Simpsonsstored on an SD card.
Make the Worlds Smallest (Probably) MAME Cabinet
MAME cabinets are awesome, but theyre massive.
Just jam in into your normal desktop computer and youre good to go.
The whole project is even better when the whole system isinsidea controller.
