The theme for this issue (and wonderfully realised by Raspberry Pi’s resident illustrator-extraordinaire Sam Alder) is ways to improve and automate your life with Raspberry Pi. We’ve put together five fun projects to help you power up your life including an automatic pet feeder, a magic mirror and a temperature-sensing kettle so your tea (Earl Grey) is always served hot.
Other highlights from issue 44:
- 007 gadgets
Pi-powered gadgets that are licensed to thrill - Bluetooth audio guide

I’ve just noticed a code club thingy. Can young-geeks set them up?
Code Club
Hi Toby, anyone who is 16 and older can set up a Code Club in a school or a community venue like a library. If you’re younger than 16, you can ask an adult or person from the club venue to lead the club with you. If you want to find out more about getting a club started, check out Code Club’s website: https://www.codeclub.org.uk/start-a-club/volunteers/student-volunteers
Hope that helps!
Toby
Ok!

Having fun there, Pete?

I’m having that beautiful moment where not only does the change I’ve made not work, I’m certain I’ve just proved that the site can’t possibly have worked since last September.

Is this thing on?
Liz Upton
Yes Pete. Yes it is.
I have a sense you’re kind of looking forward to tomorrow. (Everybody else: you’ll have to wait and see.)

Will they ever be released in Australia?
