Jumpstarting the Raspberry Pi Zero W: Control the World Around You with a $10 Computer

The super-small $10 Raspberry Pi Zero W includes wireless LAN and Bluetooth connectivity and is 40% faster than the original Raspberry Pi. Why choose the Raspberry Pi Zero W? It's small. It's cheap. It's power-efficient. It has WiFi and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) built in. And it has the same general-purpose input/output (GPIO) header that bigger Raspberry Pi models have: the gateway to controlling all sorts of hardware. Projects include: *An environmental monitor that can keep track of the temperature in your house, and even turn on your fan or air conditioner before you get home from work, *A wearable light string that monitors news feeds and websites to alert you when there's something interesting going on--Amazon.com.
