Featuring a small stepper motor and an orange pointer, the new ZeroPoint<\/a> board from 4tronix allows you to add a gauge to the Raspberry Pi. It has a Zero-sized form-factor and the motor is driven by an H-bridge motor controller. There are numerous pins broken out and there’s a small prototyping area for you to use in your projects.\u00a0It comes fully assembled and is available for \u00a39.75 (+VAT) from the 4tronix website<\/a>. A Python library and test scripts are\u00a0available to download and you can read more about that here<\/a>.
