Issue #225 - Jack

Greetings!

We’re one week closer to Halloween, and Raspberry Pi Weekly is starting to get a little bit spooky. So grab a pillow to hide behind, and let us take you on a haunted ride past talking skulls and possessed jack-in-the-boxes.

To help you recover, we’ve also collected some less spooky but no less awesome makes, including a Braille news reader and The Pi Hut’s 3D Xmas Tree (only available for pre-order until this Sunday).

Have a great week, and we’ll see you next Friday!

Peace

Alex
