EXPLAINED: Raspberry pi adds magic to harry potter newspaper | Rare Historical Photos

Raspberry Pi.

If you’re a maker with a soft spot for Harry Potter, you’re sure to enjoy this beautiful creation put together by developer Whitney Knitter. Using our favorite SBC, the Raspberry Pi, she’s created a Harry Potter-styled newspaper PCB. The project was made entirely from scratch by Knitter and, in our opinion, is absolutely gorgeous to look at.

The PCB is in the shape of a rectangle. Printed on the top layer is a collage of made-up articles that Knitter created just for the project. These articles are placed around the board leaving space for a small eInk panel and a Raspberry Pi Zero on the back. The end result is a PCB that has changing pictures much like you’ll find in the Harry Potter universe.
