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.

You're reading from Wearable-Tech Projects with the Raspberry Pi Zero
Jon Witts has been working within the IT industry since 2002 and specifically within Educational IT since 2004. He was introduced to Linux back in 2001 through his collaboration with two German artists who were visiting the arts organisation he was then working with. Having studied Fine Arts and Educational Technology and sought to innovate with open and accessible digital technologies within his creative practice, Jon is happiest when deconstructing technology and finding its limits.
Jon has embedded within his school the use of Raspberry Pi computers, as an integral part of the delivery of the school's Computer Science curriculum as well as to run various school clubs and projects. Jon is a Raspberry Pi Certified Educator and also helps to organise and run the Hull Raspberry Jam events.
I would like to thank my wife, Sally and our three daughters for putting up with all the cables and compoents around the house, and not least for being so tolerant of the need to dodge the robots racing round the kitchen floor!
