In this article I'm going to show you how to easily power a Raspberry Pi from 6 rechargeable NiMH batteries. I'll show you a device that I've used to drive robots and crittercams. 

This article covers setting up the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ for headless SSH access over WiFi using a Mac or Windows.

When I received my Raspberry Pi NoIR Camera I wanted to try it out on a headless Pi 3. The problem is that the camera doesn’t display anything when you connect over VNC or Remote Desktop. Sure I could have hooked up a monitor, keyboard and mouse. But how is that going to help me when I want to build something like a wireless crittercam?

I prefer to write code on my Mac and then push it to the Pi. That way I don’t have to try to find the Pi version of development tools and editors that I like to use. It also keeps junk off the Pi leaving it lean and mean. This is fine for interpreted languages. But when I want to write code in C or C++ this becomes a problem.

To connect my Pi Zero 1.3 over WiFi I ordered an adapter from AdaFruit. The white cable in the picture is a Micro-USB adapter. Before you can get the WiFi to work, you need to connect to the Pi Zero so that you can edit a file. Because there is only one USB port, you need to look at a few options.
