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.

Somewhere between a row of push-buttons on a breadboard and a Moog Matriarch sits the Piano HAT ($19.22/£18.30) by Pimoroni. It’s a beautifully designed and implemented capacitive touch piano HAT for the Raspberry Pi. It features 16 capacitive touchpads, 13 piano keys, octave up and down buttons, an instrument cycle button, and 16 white LEDs. Make music and a light show!
The Piano HAT is compatible with any 40-pin Raspberry Pi and comes fully assembled and ready to go! Simply plug it in, grab the excellent Python library and example code, and you are ready to use it as a synth controller, make some music, or even use it as an affordable MIDI controller.
