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!

Modifying our item of clothing

So let's take a look at what we need to do to modify our item of clothing ready to accommodate our Pi Zero, a battery pack, and sewable LEDs. We will start by looking at creating our hidden pocket for Pi Zero and the batteries, followed by how we will sew our LEDs into the top and design our sewable circuit. We will then solve the problem of connecting our conductive thread back to the GPIO holes on our Pi Zero.

Our hidden pocket

You will need a piece of fabric that is large enough to house your Pi Zero case and battery pack alongside each other with enough spare to hem the pocket all the way round. If you have access to a sewing machine, then this section of the project will be much quicker...
