OUT NOW: The Official Raspberry Pi Handbook 2025 has landed
Hey folks, long time no speak! Thankfully Iβm returning to the blog to bring tidings of good cheer: the brand new Official Raspberry Pi Handbook 2025 is out now! And with three months to spare before Christmas, wink wink, nudge nudge.
Our annual bumper book is lovingly made by us folks from The MagPi, the official Raspberry Pi magazine, and weβve got another fantastic edition for you to read.
This is where the fun begins
Every year itβs my job to find the very best community projects, build guides, and essential kit reviews to fit into just 200 pages. Itβs a bit of a squeeze but I think thereβs something for everyone this year as always.
Raspberry Pi Pico 2 deep dive
A month ago, Pico 2 debuted to the world, and weβre very excited by the possibilities of the extra power it (and the RP2350 microcontroller chip) will bring to future projects. In the book youβll find an in-depth interview with the engineers behind Pico 2, and all the low-down on what makes it so special.
Letβs begin
As usual we have our quick Starter Guide for those wanting to set up their Raspberry Pi for the first time, or even if you need a refresher. It covers every model of Raspberry Pi, from Pi Zero to Pi 400 and Pi 5, and itβs boiled down the basics of what you need to know. Once youβre done with that, go on a quest with your Raspberry Pi and discover what you can do with it.
What an idea!
Need a bit of inspo for your next build? Not sure whether to use a classic Raspberry Pi computer or a Pico microcontroller board? We have you covered with a whole host of incredibly inspiring projects β from AI-powered fortune tellers and cinema-grade cameras to powered exoskeletons and remote-operated submersibles.
Weβll show you how
If you need more than ideas, we have a series of step-by-step guides for some of the very cool things you can do with a Raspberry Pi. Keen to take photos of the stars? We have you covered. Build your own personal automaton to do your bidding? Gotcha. Want to just sit back and relax with some classic video games or your movie library? Yeah, you can do that too.
Thereβs tons more to discover inside the book, including hardware reviews and fun arts-and-crafts projects. Buy one today and I personally will smile too!
