Introduction The Raspberry Pi Zero W is a small (and affordable) computer on a board – it has the essentials for creating little projects with built-in wi-fi, an HDMI output and an extra USB for input from keyboard / mouse. It runs a Linux distribution (Raspbian usually, but others are supported) and for that reason it’s very versatile and user-friendly, since we can create stuff using pretty much any programming language that can run on Linux. Apart from that, of course, you

Introduction Regular LEDs are great, but I have such a hard time choosing the right color for a project! Sometimes one color just isn’t enough. What if we could decide the color of the LED on the go? Better yet, what if we could change the color of the LED multiple times at code level, turning it into a more meaningful output component? Yes, we can! RGB LEDs are there for us. And they are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. This tutorial will show you the basics of working with RGB LEDs, and how

Introduction LEDs are probably the best thing that ever happened in electronics, they go well with absolutely everything (like raisins, pretty much) and as it turns out, they’re pretty simple to work with. That’s why they’re just perfect for any beginner tutorial on electronics. This tutorial will show you how to control an LED from a Raspberry Pi Zero. We’ll be using Python to control the LED – it is definitely possible to use a variety of programming languages for that, but

The Raspsberry Pi Zero is the smallest and cheapest member of the Raspbery Pi family. It’s cheap and powerful enough for a handful of funny and interesting projects! The version without wireless costs about 5 euros and the version with wireless costs about 11 euros, prices from Amsterdam stores. Here are the full specs, from the official blog announcement: A Broadcom BCM2835 application processor 1GHz ARM11 core (40% faster than Raspberry Pi 1) 512MB of LPDDR2 SDRAM A micro-S
