Power on Your Raspberry Pi Zero Over Ethernet
The Raspberry Pi Zero doesn’t have an Ethernet port, but after a little hack, Node demonstrates a way to power the Pi with a single dual-use cable that gets you online and powered up.
You will need a USB Ethernet adapter, a down converter, and a pair of micro USB connectors. Once everything is set up, you have both power and internet connection over the same cable. You will need some soldering skills to get through this project, but the end result will greatly reduce cord confusion. Go to Node for a complete guide.
