Connect the Raspberry Pi Zero Directly to a Low-Profile Computer Power Supply

The Pi Zero is awesome because it is so small, but it still requires all sorts of cables and chargers. At NODE, they demonstrate how to integrate the Pi Zero into a USB hub and power supply for a general purpose computer.

The idea is to turn the Pi Zero into an always-on computer that doesn’t require a bundle of cables to run. This is a fairly simple project that uses the official Raspberry Pi PSU , USB hub and some Sugru. Basically, you just glue all the components together, plug it in, and you’re done. A USB hub means you can plug in additional accessories when you need them, or just use it like a computer that you plug into any outlet.
