Get started with Raspberry Pi – everything you need to know to start your journey!
Over the past few years, Raspberry Pi robotics has really come into its own, taking strides to make building robots just that little bit more fun and accessible. This month in The MagPi, we’ve decided to take all these advances and use them to create an incredible little robot.
We’ll guide you through the process of making your robot while also giving you top advice on other methods for robot construction, in case you feel the spark of inspiration once the build is over. It’s not just robots we’re building this issue though. We have some amazing tutorials on the following:
- Building an underwater camera
- Finishing up our RaspCade arcade cabinet build
- A guide to NOOBS for beginners
- Using WiFi signals as a people detector
There’s lots more to enjoy, including reviews, columns, and a series of spooky and simple Halloween projects.
You can get hold of the latest issue in stores now from WHSmith, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, and Asda. Alternatively you can grab an issue online or get it digitally via our app on Android and iOS. There’s even a free PDF of it as well! You’re spoilt for choice…
We hope you enjoy the issue!
