There’s a lot of new products this month and we haven’t forgotten about the makers. This month’s mag is also packed with projects, from a Hackberry Pi to an Adventure Time electric guitar.

Raspberry Pi 500 is in high demand. Subscribers to The MagPi can buy a Raspberry Pi 500 first with our Priority Boarding scheme. Take out a subscription to The MagPi and you’ll get a code via email to skip the line and get your Raspberry Pi 500 computer.

Introducing Compute Module 5
Compute Modules make it easier for embedded customers to build custom products using Raspberry Pi hardware. Compute Module 5 puts all the power of Raspberry Pi 5 into an embeddable, programmable board that can be placed inside a development product.

Hackberry Pi Zero
This project takes an original keyboard from a BlackBerry phone and combines it with an ultra-modern Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W and 4-inch display.

Adventure Time Guitar
Raspberry Pi 5 is “the beating heart” of this impressive Adventure Time Self-Playing Guitar which features programmable buttons, custom speakers, and a touchscreen.
