About the Author
engineer. His passion for programming can be traced back to one Christmas in the mid 1980s
when he received a Sinclair Spectrum 48k+ home computer (a joint present with his two elder
brothers). By typing out and modifying BASIC programs, while dreaming about building robots,
an interest in computers and electronics was sparked, which has never faded. This interest
saw him through university, where he earned a BEng in Electronics and Electrical Engineering,
and into a career in developing embedded software for a wide range of applications, for
automotive, aerospace, and the oil industry, among others.
Keen to support the vision behind the Raspberry Pi, reignite engineering in schools, and
encourage a new generation of engineers, Tim co-founded the MagPi magazine. Thanks to the
dedication and time of the volunteers who contribute to it every month, it continues to have
monthly issues and attract an ever-increasing number of readers (and writers) worldwide.
Through his site

, Tim produces electronic kits and helps people learn
about the Raspberry Pi and hardware interfacing; each of them is supported with detailed
instructions and tutorials to help novices build the knowledge and skills for their projects.
This is Tim's first ever book; it mirrors his own experience of discovering the Raspberry Pi and
showcasing its fantastic abilities.
Writing a book about the Raspberry Pi wouldn't have been possible without
the creation itself, so thanks to the Raspberry Pi foundation for their hard
work (and good humor) in making it a huge success. The Raspberry Pi
community consists of an excellent group of exceptionally helpful people
from all over the world, and it has been a pleasure to be involved with it
from the start. In particular, I would like to thank The MagPi team that has
supported me by reviewing the chapters and helping me achieve the best
possible standard. Also thanks to the Pi3D team who worked hard to get
their library running with Python 3 for the book.
Thanks to my family, particularly my wife Kirsty, who has supported me every
step of the way and daily suffered my obsession with the Raspberry Pi. The
excitement my daughters, Phoebe and Amelia, have as they discover new
things inspires me to share and teach as much as I can.
