Issue #166 - Snap
Well, hello there!
GPIOooooh, did you know that the new MagPi Essentials Guide is available to download for free? Learn simple electronics with GPIO Zero, and once you feel confident to pin all the pins, why not build yourself a scrolling news ticker?
I’m still waiting for someone to play me the Star Trek theme on a Visual Theremin. Any volunteers?
In other news, we hit 10,000 subscribers on YouTube, 200,000 followers on Facebook, and decided to join Snapchat for the lols, all in one week. Phew.
Have a brilliant week and I’ll catch you next Friday!
Peace,
Alex
Oh… you can also follow us on Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter. Just so you know.
