very day we keep an eye on Twitter and
Reddit to see what amazing stuff people are
coming up with to do with their Raspberry
Pis. Here’s just a taster of what we see online and
what you can see in the magazine.E

OPERATOR!

More retro upcycling with this old-school phone
upgraded with an AIY Voice Kit. Just dial 0 and you
can talk to the assistant to get answers to your
everyday queries. We have visions of someone
just picking it up and putting it under their chin to
ask for ounce-to-gram conversions while they mix
some batter, Nineties style.FROM

MARTIN MANDER’S INTERCOM
PROJECT IS RETRO AND LOVELY
magpi.cc/2vPQK6E
An amazing project that uses the Google AIY Projects
Voice Kit to hack an old-school intercom to become
a digital voice assistant. It’s an ingenious bit of
repurposing, and we always love seeing what Martin
Mander is going to upcycle next. For some reason,
though, everyone else has been having the same idea
and we saw loads of toy phones and intercoms and
other voice-powered products upgraded with an AIY
Voice Kit. Here are a couple of our favourites...KIDS SMARTPHONE

This one is a little mean but honestly, we laughed.
The Fisher-Price
toy phone is a true
classic and we love
the idea of it getting
a very hefty upgrade
with AIY, complete
with massive glowing
button in the centre.
Would it be creepy if
you had it sing while
the eyes moved?
