Ever wish you had a full shelf of Raspberry Pi references without spending a month’s allowance to get it?
Raspberry Pi Press has put 16 of its e-books on Humble Bundle under a name-your-price deal that runs from 11 July to 1 August. You pick what you pay, the files come DRM-free in PDF and ePub, and a share of the money goes to the Raspberry Pi Foundation’s work getting young people into computing. For a school robotics club or an ECE student building a reference library, that is a cheaper route than buying each title on its own.
What is actually inside the bundle?
The 16-title library leans hard into hardware. Get Started with MicroPython on Raspberry Pi Pico is fully updated for the Pico 2 and Pico 2 W, and it walks you through wiring an LED to a GPIO pin, driving a small screen, and reading sensors from code. Python Projects for Raspberry Pi targets the Pi 5 and the Pico range for sense-and-control builds like homemade smart devices and robots. AI Projects with Raspberry Pi shows how to run vision models straight on the CPU or offload them to the AI HAT+ and AI HAT+ 2 neural accelerators. There is also Experiment with the Sense HAT, the same board flying on two Raspberry Pi computers aboard the ISS, packed with an LED matrix and motion sensors, plus the Official Camera Guide and the Beginner’s Guide for anyone soldering their first project together.
Which title should you grab first? If you are teaching, start with the MicroPython book and the Sense HAT book, since both give classroom-ready exercises that need only a Pico, a breadboard, and a handful of jumper wires. If you are chasing a thesis or capstone build, the AI Projects title is the one that pays off, because it covers running models with or without accelerator hardware.
Pay as little as £3.77 (about $5) and you can still claim a chunk of the library; £18.88 ($25) unlocks all 16 titles, against a normal list price near £247 ($332). Browse the full list and chapter previews on the Humble Bundle page before the 1 August cutoff, then pair a book with a real Pico 2 W from circuit.rocks and start on GPIO pin 25 with the onboard LED.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which books in the bundle cover Raspberry Pi Pico programming?
Get Started with MicroPython on Raspberry Pi Pico is the direct one, updated for the Pico 2 and Pico 2 W, and Python Projects for Raspberry Pi also covers the Pico range alongside the Pi 5.
How much does the bundle cost and what formats do the e-books use?
You name your price from about £3.77 ($5), and £18.88 ($25) unlocks all 16 titles. Every book is DRM-free in PDF and ePub, so they open on computers, tablets, e-readers, and phones.
What will I learn if I work through this bundle?
You will pick up MicroPython and Python basics, how to wire LEDs and sensors to GPIO pins, how to add a camera and read the Sense HAT, and how to run AI vision models on a Pi with or without accelerator hardware, enough to take a project from breadboard to finished build.
