WELCOME TO
THE OFFICIAL
MAGAZINE
e’ve been waiting to go all in on Android
for a long time. We’ve all used Google’s
mobile operating system, and the prospect
of having a Raspberry Pi running Android is just too
good to miss (page 16). The unofficial solution is a bit
‘creative’, but we think it’s tons of fun.
Speaking of creativity: the UK weather has always
been a bit bonkers, but lately it’s gone full-blown
bizarre. When it’s not blazing hot, it’s stormy,
or chilly, and only a few months back we were in
the depths of a bleak midwinter. We wouldn’t be
surprised by frogs at this rate.
So we are delighted to share Raspberry Pi’s new
Weather Station instructions (page 70). Building
your own weather station is an amazing summer
project, and the output is a perfect introduction to
measuring data.
We’ve also got some extra-neat projects this
month, including the Seeing Wand (page 30) and
the Magic: The Gathering card analysis machine
(page 34). Both use AI to push the Raspberry Pi
further than we thought possible. If you are getting
into AI, then don’t forget to install TensorFlow on a
Raspberry Pi (page 58).
There’s a lot to get stuck into this month, so let’s
get started.
