The MagPi – January 2020
English | 100 pages | pdf | 36.91 MB

Raspberry Pi is unlike any other computer. On the one hand, it’s a fully powerful desktop computer, at a fraction of the regular cost. At the same time, thanks to its educational roots, The MagPi Magazine is ready to become just about anything. Everything from solar-powered boats (page 8) to cheese-grilling machines (page 16) can be found inside this magazine.
Maybe you’ve got an idea for something to make. In which case our 50 Tips & Tools for Raspberry Pi feature (page 26) will help you kit out for 2020. This year could be your chance to finally build your crazy contraption.
If, like me, you’ve no idea what to make next, then take a look at our Raspberry Pi 4 accessories guide (page 68). Here you’ll find kits and gadgets that can inspire you to build a friendly project.
I believe 2020 is going to be an incredible year for technology and making, and The MagPi sits at the heart of the most creative community on earth. This magazine is packed with incredible ideas and builds engineered by some of the most fun people we know.
Here’s to another decade of making.
