Issue #164 - Drums
It’s Friday!
We’ve had a great week at Pi Towers, catching up with all your latest builds while planning our entry for Pi Wars 3.0.
Fancy building your own network of rustic drum speakers? How about a pan-and-tilt surveillance system to see what those drums get up to when you’re not home?*
Matt Richardson went under the sea with the OpenROV, Gordon wrote up the all-you-need-to-know guide to USB booting on the Pi, and the education team applied aftersun to some serious sunburn from Camp Bestival.
And if that’s not enough, remember you still have until Sunday to apply for the Digital Making Day later this month.
Have a great weekend of fun and making and remember, you can still download the new issue of The MagPi Magazine and our new Minecraft Essentials for free. Marvellous!
Peace,
Alex
