It's made it easier to add a number of smaller specialized programs, in Python for example, that do smaller tasks.
Right now, I've got an OBD2 device, a GPS device and a SenseHat publishing data onto the MQTT bus. When we add Solar, I'd like to get some more of the electrical subsystems online.
The new RPi Zero W, now with built-in Wifi and Bluetooth will be a great addition!
