Issue #378 - A masterclass in over-engineering

robot arm clock

Howdy,

Twitter went wild for the Robot Arm Clock featured in the new issue of The MagPi. At the last count our tweet had 1.8K retweets.

We also showed you how to make Dune’s Gom Jabbar test, and we enjoyed a little Chopin as we watched a piano control LED lights.

There’s also a brilliant video featuring the creator of the BBC Micro in which Eben pops up to talk about how it inspired his work with Raspberry Pi.

Peace,

Ashley
