The November issue of the official Raspberry Pi magazine, The MagPi, is available now in print and digital. This month our cover feature is all about amazing Raspberry Pi projects that can be made in moments.

Time isn’t always on our side, so it’s great to have a quick-fire project you can fire up when you have a spare moment.
They’re also handy to keep the attention of younger hackers, whose making adventures are that much more gratifying when they can achieve something amazing in short amount of time.
Highlights from #39:
- 30-Minute projects
- Introducing GPIO Zero
- Time-lapse photography
- Pixel art with the Sense HAT
- Eight-pageTouchscreen Display special
- and much more!
Embiggen for a full tour of the latest issue
We’ve got lots of inspiring projects and features for for you to get your teeth into this month, including a whopping eight-page special dedicated to the official Touchscreen Display.
We also speak to the Foundation’s new CEO, Philip Colligan, about what 2016 has in store, while we also review the latest updates to Raspbian and Scratch. Elsewhere we chat with Ben Nuttall about GPIO ZERO to find out exactly how it’s lowering the barrier to entry for physical computing projects at home and in schools. Exciting stuff!

something wrong with #20 encoding in text above.

the link ” The MagPi’s new-look website.” leads to a black bird picture with a huge question mark…
Is it because it is wondering why so many peoples are visiting it?
Hans-Rudolf Hotz
looks like it is just a typo: try “https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi/” instead of “https://www.raspberrypi.org/mapi”
AndrewS
That’s because the link *should* be https://www.raspberrypi.org/magpi and not https://www.raspberrypi.org/mapi

Just tested and seems to be fine :)

I would buy the The MagPi Essentials if it was an A5 pocket book.
Had a quick look at the download version and it seems to be a very useful reference book.

Too bad the months aren’t shorter. This is my favourite magazine! Keep up the awesome work!

How can I download it?

It’s on the MagPi website, big Download PDF button, but here’s a sneaky link so you don’t have to go that far: https://raspberrypi.org/magpi-issues/MagPi39.pdf

Is anybody else having problems viewing issue 39 using Evince (3.10.3) on linux? Most of the words using the LED font aren’t being displayed correctly, the tops of the words are getting chopped off, all the other fonts are fine. It’s not impossible to read, just a little annoying.

Sorry to hear you’re having issues. We’ve tried it on a wide range of PDF readers (including the one on the Raspberry Pi) and we haven’t run into this issue.
Have you tried a different package?

It works fine in Xpdf (but I prefer Evince), I’ve never had issues with Evince before.
It’s not everything using ‘digital-7’ font, just most things. E.G. Page 15 – the header “30:00” is fine but at the bottom right where it says “Start Timer” has the top missing.

Thanks for the extra info Stu. We’ll look into it.

Just a quick follow up, I meant page 16 not 15, but not really relevant.
The “30:00” header on that page appears to be a graphic, which is why that one worked. So everything using the ‘digital-7’ font has the top missing.

Hi Sunil,
Sorry to hear that. Tested and working here – can you please drop us an email at magpi@raspberrypi.org with some mode details and we’ll get it sorted.
Olivier
Many, many thanks for the “Conquer The Command Line” bonus.
Definitely essential.
It is gorgeous! :)
