We have some important news to share about HackSpace: Issue 81 was the last issue of HackSpace as a standalone magazine, and HackSpace has become part of The MagPi, the official Raspberry Pi magazine. Starting with issue 145, We’ll be adding pages to The MagPi to make room for the stories and tutorials you’ve come to expect from HackSpace.

This interactive climbing wall turns a small surface area into a multi-route activity. Each climbing hold has an LED inside, which lights up when it’s part of the selected route.
The designer, Alexia Cohen, has shared the plans for the prototype on Instructables. The LEDs are programmed using an Adafruit Feather board, which is bluetooth enabled so the routes can be controlled with a phone. “The circuit is pretty straight forward, 21 NeoPixels arranged in a chain, separated by long wires to reach from one hold to the next”, says Alexia.
She moulded the holds from Plasteline using hand carving tools and says, “Once you are happy with your form and the surface is smooth, you will want to add a texture. Be creative! anything that you can press into the clay to create texture will be good.”
