- Consider making enhancements to the web interface such that you could alter the speed of your robot.
- If you are planning to build a robot that operates in outdoor conditions, you potentially add a GPS sensor. Most GPS sensors stream data via the UART interface. We recommend reading Chapter 4, Communication Interfaces for examples.
- The distance of obstacles can be measured using this sensor: https://www.adafruit.com/products/3317. This can be helpful in telemetry applications.
- * In this book, we used a camera to drive the robot. It is possible to take pictures and understand the objects in a scene using this image understanding tool: https://cloud.google.com/vision/.

Overview of this book
Raspberry Pi Zero is a super-small and super-affordable product from Raspberry Pi that is packed with a plethora of features and has grabbed the notice of programmers, especially those who use Python.
This step-by-step guide will get you developing practical applications in Python using a Raspberry Pi Zero. It will become a valuable resource as you learn the essential details of interfacing sensors and actuators to a Raspberry Pi, as well as acquiring and displaying data.
You will get started by writing a Python program that blinks an LED at 1-second intervals. Then you will learn to write simple logic to execute tasks based upon sensor data (for example, to control a motor) and retrieve data from the web (such as to check e-mails to provide a visual alert). Finally, you will learn to build a home automation system with Python where different appliances are controlled using the Raspberry Pi.
The examples discussed in each chapter of this book culminate in a project that help improve the quality of people’s lives.
