The Raspberry Pi and all of the sneaky powerful potential this single-board mini-computer has to offer has been sparking the interest of tinkerers and hobbyists for seven years. But as Forbes recently pointed out, businesses and manufacturers now account for half of Pi sales.
That’s because the secret is out — and the practical uses of the Pi are finding their way to industry. Pis are being used to monitor hydrogen vehicle filling stations, check when garbage bins need to be emptied, and some are even listening to sounds made by elevators to determine when they might need maintenance.
The Pi is going mainstream, and, especially since today (3.14) is Pi Day, there’s really no better time to understand exactly what these micro-powerhouses can do. You can unlock those secrets with the training found in The Ultimate Raspberry Pi eBook Bundle, a collection on sale now at over 80 percent off, just $19.99 from TNW Deals.
The package includes four ebooks, each packed with loads of inventive uses for the Pi and more.
- Raspberry Pi for Secret Agents (a $27.99 value): Set up motion detectors, Bluetooth listening devices, voice distortion, GPS tracking, all the tricks of espionage, all with a Pi.
- Raspberry Pi 3 Cookbook for Python Programmers (a $28 value): Run through 50 different Python-based projects to automate tasks, build apps, create games, and more.

- Build Supercomputers with Raspberry Pi 3 (a $32 value): Use MPI code to communicate between nodes and assemble your own fully-functioning supercomputer.
Each book retails for $28 to $36, but when you take advantage of this all-inclusive package, you’ll get them all for only $20.
