Errata

On page 17 during the big build feature, we allude to the Raspberry Pi Zero W having a 3.5mm headphone jack. This is obviously incorrect and we’ve forced Features Editor Rob to write out every actual port on the Pi Zero 100 times on a blackboard so that he remembers in the future.

You can download this issue free now and forever, but buying in digital & print supports the Raspberry Pi Foundation’s charitable mission to democratise computing.
