Overview of this book

With Wearable-Tech Projects with the Raspberry Pi Zero, you will begin with learning how to install the required software for your upcoming projects. You will also learn how to control electronic devices with the GPIOZero Python library. Next, you will be creating some stylish wearable-tech projects such as a motion-reactive LED cap and a Tweet-activated LED T-shirt. Toward the end of the book, you will be creating some useful health and fitness wearable-tech projects; these will help you monitor your heart rate, track your movements with GPS, and count your footsteps with your own pedometer. By the end of the book, you will have created a range of wearable-tech projects and learned enough about your Raspberry Pi Zero that you should be able to adapt these projects further or come up with your own creations!

Putting it all together

So, now we have all of our hardware connected up and tested and we also have our software written and tested, however we still need to carry out a few more steps to complete our project. We need to install our Pi Zero in its case and attach our switch and LED to the outside of the case, and we also need to enable us to wear the Scroll pHAT HD as a badge.

Installing the Pi Zero into its case

We are going to make use of the official Pi Zero case in this project. It has a really easy access to the GPIO pin holes on the board and is nice and compact too. If you have a different case, then you should be able to adapt these steps to use that case instead.

To start with, you will want to disconnect the cables...
