Issue #249 - Impact

Jennifer Fox Raspberry Pi Impact Force Monitor

Hello there,

We’re back at Pi Towers, chocolate-fuelled and ready to go! If you’ve already checked our blog this week, you’ll be aware of some of the brilliant projects we’ve seen from members of the community, including Jennifer Fox’s impact force monitoring helmet; Pino, the smart sailing boat; and Tinkernut’s Coke bottle spy camera.

All this and more, in this week’s Raspberry Pi Weekly.

See you next Friday!

Peace,

Alex
