This is simply to setup the pi zero to work with your PC/laptop with just a USB cable and have internet. So whatever bot you can compile on a regular pi you can do it on a pi zero for the most part without changing the script.

Sweet I will then look to set up my pi here in the next couple days. Thank you for the post, Seems easy enough, and should also be a fun side project.
@smysullivan, I may have misunderstood what you were asking. If you wanted to setup using the usb as a data+power port, that's not possible on a regular pi. This trick works because the pi zero has a micro usb data port, and a micro usb power port. The regular pi's only have a micro usb power port and regualr USB ports that is not tied to power on the pi
That is ok, your explanation was good for me, I love technology, just have not worked with the pi, so I had simply guessed it should work to automate from my pi, and you said enough that told me I would be able to, plan on trying this out soon.
Awesome!!!
