Linux Format articles are under copyright, owned by the publisher, Future Publishing. But I have been given special permission to share some projects that I have written in the magazine.

So here we have a handful of projects that you are free to download and use. The content is still under copyright, but for personal use or use in clubs and schools the reader is free to download and use the content as long as no edits are made, and the Linux Format cover page and logos remain.

Long time readers will know that I enjoy hacking in Node-Red and in this project I show you the basics to using it on the Raspbery Pi to control an LED. Because as we know, if we can control an LED we can do anything! Seriously!!

QR codes, those funny looking barcodes that can contain URLs to websites, vcard (business cards) or be used to automatically login to WiFi AP, are great fun to hack with. In this project we make our own custom QR creator which includes images!

The Amiga 500 was the computer that I first fell in love with. I had a C16 and C64 before it, but the Amiga changed my world. In this project we create an Amiga 500 using the Raspberry Pi and relive the halcyon days when 800kb was all the storage that you need for games and work!
