Turn Your Raspberry Pi Zero Into a Miniature Computer Dongle
The best feature of the Raspberry Pi Zero is its size, but it comes at the cost of ports. DIYer Node figured out how to turn the Pi Zero into a dongle computer so that it can directly connect to another computer’s network via USB, making it much easier to use.
With a few modifications, Node turns Zero into a computer with a dongle, which means you just have to plug it into your computer and it will start sharing network resources. From there, you can connect to Zero over SSH or VNC and control it using your laptop or desktop computer, without an additional mouse, screen, or keyboard. This is great for setting up various SD cards or testing projects when you don’t want to pull out a bunch of extra hardware. Go to YouTube for a complete guide.
