-====== Raspberry Pi ZERO USB Hub Housing ======
+====== Raspberry Pi ZERO USB Hub Case / Housing ======
 This is my take on a Raspberry Pi ZERO build into a USB hub. It has be done before and i don't take credit for the initial idea. Some other projects take out the USB hub pcb, piggybacking the Raspberry Pi ZERO onto it and redesig a new case around it. For this build i reused the existing case of the USB hub and fitting everything in it.

-Use very thin magnet wire to connect the data lines of the usb hub to the Pi ZERO. Magnet wire is copper wire with a thin layer of insulation. Coat the ends of the magnet wire first. Remove the insulation at the end of the wire you want to solder to the socket pins. Put some solder on the tip of your soldering iron and hold the magnet wire in the liquid solder until the insulation is burned away and the tin sticks to the magnet wire. You can identify the data lines easily because they are the only two pcb traces directly connected to the black IC to the left. Use a thin solder tip and no clean flux / soldering flux pen.

 **Read this steps carefully and measure twice!**
-Now we need cutouts for the HDMI and USB ports of the Pi ZERO. To mark the positions for the cutouts place the whole assembly (USB hub pcb and Pi Zero on top) in the case. Now mark the width and position for each cutout at the case.

 I don't give you exact measurement for this cutout cause **you have to match it to your exact mounting position of the Raspberry Pi ZERO! Take care that you can close the lid as well! And insert the memory card to the Pi ZERO cause it sticks out of the side a bit and needs some additional space!**

+===== Future Improvements =====
+You can make a additional cutout at the top of the case for the GPIO port. With a optional header you could connect a ribbon cable directly to the Raspberry Pi ZERO to interface other hardware like sensors or a arduino board.
