Issue 57 of The MagPi<\/a> is with us, and what a bumper issue it is. It comes with the hardware for a Google-powered artificial intelligence\/voice recogniser project, or AIY Project. Here’s the MagPi’s description of the contents:<\/p>\n

Inside the magazine, you\u2019ll find a Google Voice Hardware Accessory on Top (HAT) accessory board, a stereo microphone Voice HAT board, a large arcade button, and a selection of wires. Last, but certainly not least, you\u2019ll find a custom cardboard case to house it all in.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You’ll need to\u00a0add your own Raspberry Pi 3<\/a>\u00a0(or 2 or Zero) to it. The magazine, naturally, comes with instructions on how to put the project together as well as all the great articles we’ve come to associate with the publication.<\/p>\n

Having looked at some pictures of the contents, it’s pretty clear that the stereo microphone is an add-on and not a HAT… but let’s gloss over that. \ud83d\ude09<\/em><\/p>\n
