“The Pi Zero is great - it's got just enough functionality to make it a full computer, although you do need a set of adapters to go with it. I can thoroughly recommend the Essentials Kit as it gives you all the headers you might need to solder on as well as HDMI and USB adapters to plug your peripherals into. It's better than the A+ - smaller, more powerful and more memory. Definitely very hackable. You want GPIO headers? Solder them on. You want to solder directly to the GPIO or use conductive ink? No problem, don't attach headers.”
