Fun with Micro PCs
Wipe the drool from your face. This has nothing to do with food. The nerdy folk out there will already know what I'm talking about.
Raspberry Pi are amazing little computers that are great for learning about computers. Or for the populace that already has a computer knowledge they are used to build all kinds of gadgets from home automation, robots, to arcade games. Before the Raspberry Pi Zero, there was the Raspberry Pi A and B. The A and B were already very small, about the size of a credit card.
The Zero W is even smaller than the A and B models with just as good, if not better, performance. Now anyone can assemble the guts of a 32-bit computer that runs Linux for roughly $10. How can you beat that?
