Issue #348 - Blast from the past

Raspberry Pi 1s in a cardboard box

Howdy,

Thanks for all the Valentine’s Day cards you must have accidentally forgotten to send. It’s fine, we’re over it. We said it’s FINE.

Computer refurb master James Dawson hit us in the feels with a charitable project that saw boxes full of original Raspberry Pi 1 Model B and Model A given new life. What a blast from the past.

This week’s Digital Making at Home livestream was joined by legendary maker Becky Stern. And the latest issue of HackSpace magazine is stuffed with projects to try on your new Raspberry Pi Pico.

Peace,

Ashley
