Welcome
We’re going to play around with
two things this month: the PiTFT
and Twitter. The PiTFT is a smart
little touchscreen designed to
fit perfectly over the top of your Pi, and we’re
showing you how to use it as the base for
your own hand-held video player – as well as
showing off another project where it’s used
to make a working phone. And with Twitter
we’re going to take a look at using bots and
alarms, to put the platform to use. That’s not
all though, as you’ll see on the next page –
another really good use for the Pi is as a VPN
server, which you can hook up to an existing
network in order to access it no matter where
you are, so long as you have the right login
details. There’s plenty to do… have fun!

The Raspberry Pi is well-known for being a
great choice when it comes to media projects,
and if you’re lucky enough to have a Raspberry
Pi 2 then you’ll find it even better suited to HTPC projects
than ever before thanks to its upgraded processor and
RAM. But you don’t have to stick with RaspBMC or keep
on SSHing into your Pi – if you’re looking for a slightly more
interesting media solution then you can always make a
dedicated video player instead.
In this three-part guide we’re going to show you
how to set up a small touchscreen that’s designed to fit
perfectly over the top of your Pi. We’re also going to stick
the setup inside a Pibow case to make a proper hand-
held device, all the wires tucked out of the way and the
whole thing ready to go into your bag at a moment’s
notice the next time you’ve got a long train journey.
