Raspberry Pi Zero: The $5 Computer

[mvdarend]

Of all the things we do at Raspberry Pi, driving down the cost of computer hardware remains one of the most important. Even in the developed world, a programmable computer is a luxury item for a lot of people, and every extra dollar that we ask someone to spend decreases the chance that they’ll choose to get involved.

This will be great for a few interconnected HomeGenie devices

So long as your talking i2c spi, serial or similar.. or add a usb hub and network adapter

If it had a network adapter, I'd be all over this.  Only issue I see is that Element14 and MCM seem to have a different price point much higher than $5USD.  Very interesting option though!

I think it can connect a micro wi-fi usb adapter.

Gene,

I can confirm that it does indeed connect with micro usb adapter, I am currently playing with one, I have a project in mind for it but I will post separately.
