obligatory "Hello World" style project everyone here builds called "Blink The LED" on your new RPi Zero ;)
Okay you win!
Simple instructions: https://www.tunnelsup.com/rasp berry-pi-zero-blink-an-led-using-gpio-pins/
Looks easy enough.
First I have to put Linux onto the microcon... errr SBC.
Serious question: how do I decide what LED and what resistor to use?
any generic LED will do, just hit up the Radio Shack, of dig one up at Infoage IXR That website you posted should have listed the resistor value, but from the color code it's another common value, 330ohms, probably also found at IXR
Second less-serious question: I can type in the few lines from the project page, but I do not have the time/interest to learn Python. How can I interface the Pi to my Apple II :) and do things in BASIC?
DON'T DO IT IN BASIC unless you like to suffer the wrath of your cohorts here use your google foo to look python tutorial -- _ ____ / \__/ Scotty, We Need More Power !! \_/ _\__ Aye, Cap'n, but we've only got 80 col's !!
