This is Les’s final Raspberry Pi tutorial after over a decade of writing them for LinuxFormat! It is a sad time, but as we bid a fond farewell to you all, we look back at the issues of work that every member of the team has put in, and to celebrate, we thought it would be nice to look back at all the Linux Format covers. But because these pages are all about the Raspberry Pi, let’s make a cool project one last time! This project sees any model of Pi, connected to a small Adafruit display, randomly display a cover from the Linux Format archives.
A small screen like the Adafruit 5-inch screen we used is ideal because the image files are only 318x450 resolution, so an 800x480 screen (or smaller) gives better image quality than a 1080p display.
