Best adaptor out there, atm. Is a pi zero with gpiozero on it. There really is not much in the way of adaptors with the support and flexibility for beginners that pi provides.

I meant an adapter for a classic PC, like a usb/serial port adapter.

So did I. Pi zero can boot via USB otg and act as a USB gpio port.

Have to tried it yet bout planning to.

Gpiozero is the library used.

Ha yes of course, using a raspberry so you don't need to use a raspberry (small pi vs big pi)!

Now I want to do just that but over wifi...

More small pie and full power PC already in place.

The issue with other options is lack of community support. So less usable for beginners and experimentation.

But def agree with the WiFi thing.
