Getting Started with Raspberry Pi: LED blinking on Raspberry Pi Zero
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

Raspberry Pi Zero – Unboxing and Initial Setup
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
