Issue #179 - Bacteria

Hello there!

Welcome to this week’s edition of Raspberry Pi Weekly. It’s packed with interesting news such as the recent Pi integration with the Particle Cloud, fun projects including a gesture-controlled music player and Raspberry Pi astrophotography, and fascinating articles including an installation that uses a Pi to generate music from bacterial activityas well as lots from our daily blog!

And if that’s not enough, our good friend ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet is currently on his way to our Astro Pi units aboard the International Space Station. You can watch his spacecraft dock around 10pm GMT on Saturday.

We’re also using the hashtag #MakeYourIdeas across social media in order to highlight wonderful tech projects from young makers across the globe. If you know of awesome projects worthy of worldwide attention, join in!

Have a great week and we’ll see you next Friday.

Peace.

Alex
