By Lucy Hattersley. Posted
Artificial Intelligence is the central feature of our age and it’s a quirky technology that baffles as much as it amazes. This month The MagPi flips the lid and explains what’s inside. Understanding AI is the biggest challenge for makers, coders, and computer scientists. Don’t miss out!

Raspberry Pi AI Made Clear
Our Raspberry Pi AI Made Clear feature demystifies artificial intelligence by showing you how to develop generative technologies using Raspberry Pi and open-source software. Create personal image diffusers, generate large language models, and assemble intelligent-acting robots, cameras, and speech assistants. All while keeping one eye on the ethics at play!

Control an industrial robot arm
This month we use CDP Studio and its Kinematics framework to program a Raspberry Pi-powered robot arm, the myCobot 280 Pi we reviewed in The MagPi magazine issue 137. CDP Studio is an ‘out of the box’ software development tool to build industrial control, automation, and edge systems. Yet it’s fairly easy to get to grips with its low-code programming environment.

Raspberry Pi 5 cases
We’ve got 10 Raspberry Pi 5 cases on test this month. We’ve tested cooling effectiveness and Wi-Fi signal alongside each case’s capacity for mounting HAT hardware and access ports. Keep your Raspberry Pi in the best case!

Home Assistant Yellow
Home Assistant has been around for nearly as long as Raspberry Pi has. You can even find it in our Raspberry Pi Imager. It’s no surprise then that Home Assistant Yellow branded hardware is pretty high quality. This neat board finds devices on your home network enabling you to take direct control of them with a dashboard interface.

PiDP-10 Mainframe
After tackling the PDP-8 and PDP11, Oscar Vermeulen goes mainframe with DEC’s PDP-10. PJ Evans fires up the big iron and looks at this incredible Raspberry Pi project that brings a classic mainframe computer to life.

Win 1 of 5 Kiwi+ USB KVMs
About a year ago we reviewed the Kiwi USB KVM and were quite surprised with how well it worked for the price point compared to big name brand capture devices. The team at Cytrence took users (and our) feedback to create the upgraded Kiwi+ with a USB hub that can switch between both devices. We […]
