Issue #127 — Eagle

Hi all

GPIO Zero 1.0 is out now – give it a try if you haven’t yet – it’s an easy way to get going with physical computing on Raspberry Pi.

The original 30 issues of the MagPi are available for free through the MagPi’s app – and there’s a new hardback book out, produced by the MagPi team – the official Raspberry Pi Projects book.
