    New book: The Official Raspberry Pi Handbook 2021

    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Hey everyone, come and see, come and see! Here’s a great new bookazine from the makers of the official Raspberry Pi magazine. We do love the folks at The MagPi. Clever, they are.

    If, like us, you’re over 2020 already, dive into the pages of The Official Raspberry Pi Handbook 2021, and pretend it never happened. That will totally work.

    To help you get the most of out of your Raspberry Pi computer, this official Handbook features 200 pages of essential information, inspiring projects, practical tutorials, and definitive reviews.

    Beginner-friendly

    If you’re an absolute beginner, you can learn from the Handbook how to set up your Raspberry Pi and start using it. Then you can move on to the step-by-step tutorials that will teach you how to code and make with your Raspberry Pi.

    Shiny new stuff

    You’ll also (re)discover the new Raspberry Pi 400 and High Quality Camera, both released this year. And you’ll find out about the top kits and accessories for your projects.

    Be inspired

    And finally, we’ve also picked out some incredible Raspberry Pi projects made by people in the community to inspire you to get making and coding.

    Where can I get the Handbook?

    You can buy The Official Raspberry Pi Handbook 2021 now from the Raspberry Pi Press online store, or at the Raspberry Pi store in Cambridge, UK.

    Personally, we prefer new book smell and the crackle of physical pages but, if you’re less picky and don’t mind on-screen reading, the lovely folks at The MagPi have a PDF version you can download for free.

  • The Raspberry Pi Store reopens today

    The Raspberry Pi Store reopens today

    Reading Time: 3 minutes

    We’re pleased to announce that today, the Raspberry Pi Store in Cambridge re-opens its doors. We have taken care to follow government guidelines to ensure a clean and safe environment for our staff and customers.

    What to expect

    While we’ve removed all interactive activities, you’ll still be able to experience the versatility of Raspberry Pi via our displays, and our staff will be on hand to talk you through any projects you’d like to know more about.

    To make sure everyone can maintain physical distancing, we’re limiting numbers to a maximum of seven customers in the store at a time. We’ve also marked a one-way route around the store to help you shop without squeezing past others.

    We have trained all our colleagues in the Raspberry Pi Store team in current health and safety measures, and they’ll be working hard to keep all surfaces sanitised while continuing to offer advice and support to our visitors.

    Our newly revised opening times align with those of the Grand Arcade shopping centre, and we’re working closely with centre management to continue to follow updated government guidelines.

    Fully stocked

    Everything is in stock. From the new 8GB Raspberry Pi 4 and the 8GB Desktop Kit to the High Quality Camera and its companion book, The Official Raspberry Pi Camera Guide, all our recently released products are in stock and ready to go.

    We’re also continuing to stock and sell gift cards, third-party products, and in-store exclusives.

    How you can help us

    If you plan to visit the Raspberry Pi Store, please continue to exercise social distancing by keeping 2m between yourself and others. Please use our free hand sanitiser when you enter the store, and, if you can, wear a face mask to protect both yourself and others.

    Come along!

    So, if you happen to be in Cambridge, please pop in and say hi… from a distance. And, if you have any further questions, visit the Raspberry Pi Store webpage, where you’ll find our FAQs, directions to the store, and contact details.

  • Take a virtual reality tour of the Raspberry Pi Store

    Take a virtual reality tour of the Raspberry Pi Store

    Reading Time: < 1 minute

    Some months back, we received an email from Rob Chinery, explaining that he’d created a virtual reality (VR) tour of the Raspberry Pi Store, Cambridge.

    When I heard about the new Raspberry Pi store in Cambridge, I was immediately impressed by the design and aesthetic of the store. I thought it would be a great project to add to my portfolio, so I put together a quick virtual experience based around the store.

    Here’s a video for those without VR headsets:

    Raspberry Pi Store VR Tour With Narration

    Cool, right?

    Based in New York, Rob hadn’t visited the store at the time and created the walk-through using images and video content that he’d found online.

    I had to rely on a few press images from the opening to make the model (which did make things a bit difficult). One of the reasons I decided to build the app is to allow us Pi fans on other continents to virtually experience the store.

    Since our initial communications in April, Rob has now managed to visit the store in the flesh, as he explained on Reddit.

    Rob has built the tour specifically for mobile VR platforms, and it is available for free on Oculus Go and Gear VR. You can also view it via Testflight on Android and iOS using a cardboard viewer. You can try the Raspberry Pi Store VR tour here. And, if you’re in need of a mobile VR experience for your architectural projects, Rob’s your guy!

    In the words of Liz, colour us impressed.
