Check out my previous post on :
Five cool projects you can do with the Raspberry Pi

This post will focus on five projects you can do with the Raspberry Pi Zero. The Raspberry Pi Zero is the $5 ($10 w/ wifi) Raspberry Pi with a reduced footprint ideal for embedding into projects.

# 5 - Gif Camera

Project Details

This is a cool project that was built by Matt Griffin for World Maker Faire 2016. The camera uses a Raspberry Pi Zero to build a portable point and click camera that takes Gifs!

#4 Electric Skateboard

Project Details

This project uses a Raspberry Pi Zero and a Nintendo Wiimote to control an electric skateboard with a max speed of 30Km/hr and the ability to drive for around 10km. The above video shows it in action and talks about the build. You can visit the project details link if you want to try to make one.

#3 Pi Grrl Zero

Project Details

The Pi Grrl 2 is a very popular portable gaming console built with the Raspberry Pi Zero. There is a Raspberry Pi Zero version of the project for a smaller and more compact portable console. All the parts can be purchased from Adafruit in a kit($55) but you will need to either 3D print the case or hire someone on a site like 3D Labs.

#2 Airplay Speaker

Project Details

This is a cool project to build an Airplay compatible speaker. Although it has a mediocre speaker, you can spend a little more on a quality speaker and even add a dedicated treble speaker if you wanted to. One of the cool things about this project is you don't need to follow the construction guide and can use almost anything you can think of to build into. It doesn't need to be a small wooden box.

#1 Raspberry Pi Zero FPV Drone Camera

Project Details

One of the most entertaining uses of a Raspberry Pi Zero is to build an FPV (First Person View) drone. This is one of the projects I haven't done and would really like to do one day. There are lots of great drone designs on Thingiverse you can print out yourself and build, not all the projects on Thingiverse use a Raspberry Pi Zero.

I love the raspberry pi project! It's always amazing to see what people do with them. The zero is practically disposable that it's so cheep! Amazing.

Okay, these all look pretty fun! I have an older pi sitting around... Maybe I really should see what I can do with it!

Don't like themarkymark either? This bot downvotes everything themarkymark posts. Help by delegating:

5 | 10 | 20 | 50 | 100 | 500 | 1000

Unvote themarkymark for witness here



"I've never seen anyone leave such a long trail of blazing dumpster fires. I now believe the wreckless downvoting and blacklisting of thousands of accounts by themarkymark et al is the SOLE reason the price of Steem continues to fall. I didn't even make the photo for this post. That's right, I found it online. Fucking amazing."

Look at all these complaints from people all over the Internet

Most of these are written OFF of Steemit so as to avoid being downvoted and hidden. Amazing. So much for this "censorship-free blockchain".

themarkymark Hey. Sorry about your shit coin...

Groups of people and a top witness (themarkymark) are trying to dive me off of steem/steemit by harassing me

Getting blacklisted (by themarkymark) becomes expensive on Steem

themarkymark & Berniesanders Responsible For Altcoin Collapse?

Is TheMarkyMark Abusing The Steemit Blockchain?

Listen as themarkymark evades questions about his identity and gives up his real motives

The Arrogant "themarkymark"

Dedicated to that unknown mystery douche: themarkymark

@themarkymark Stole Thousands Of $$ From Me

My Letter to @themarkymark - in response to his continual flagging of my account

Harassment and Censorship by themarkymark continues. Now flagging everything I post for no reason

Crooket @themarkymark

@themarkymark, another fake account that flags without reason, like the berniesanders whales circle jerk

Another example of censorhsip on steemit. Witness (themarkymark) downvotes truth about his actions.

Big Thanks For ThemarkyMark, Anyx, Patrice and Others Who Helped Ruin Steemit

Open letter to those who provide Red Flag with downvotes

My Post About Asian Countries Being the Largest Ocean Polluters Was Downvoted By Badcontent. WHY?

I Got Downvoted!?! It's Not Fair! Can You Help Me???

More THIEVES (themarkymark) on Steem Blockchain? Be careful with bidbots...
