In this chapter, we looked at adding a new piece of sensor hardware to our Pi Zero; the Adafruit ADXL345. This sensor allowed us to make our project react to it's relative position and movement through the Earth's gravitational fields. You learned how to read the data from this sensor into our Python programs, and then how to connect to and control another piece of hardware called the Blinkt! LED strip. Finally, we installed all of this into a cap and wrote a short Python program to bring it all together.

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!
