     27A Raspberry Pi Zero W is a tiny $10 computer.  It has usb ports, a video connector, wifi, and a GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) connector to interface to the outside world.  The pins on this GPIO connector perform a variety of functions such as power, ground, input, and output.   The pins can be set in code to behave in different ways.  We'll be connecting to the Pi and running Java programs on it which control the GPIO connector and the world outside of the Pi.
