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.
