Issue #193 - W

It’s our fifth birthday!

To celebrate, we launched the new Raspberry Pi Zero W, featuring wireless LAN and Bluetooth in a tiny Zero-sized package. It’s priced at $10 and available alongside the Pi Zero 1.3. We also released our official Raspberry Pi Zero Case, which fits all versions of the Zero.

To tickle your maker taste buds, there’s a self-replenishing smart fridge for you to make, and some sensor-driven stairway lights to guide your way to midnight snacking.

It’s your LAST CHANCE to grab Sunday tickets to our birthday party! Who wouldn’t want a selfie with us?

Peace

Alex
