Raspberry Pi Sense Hat

Overview

Meet the Raspberry Pi Sense HAT, the keen sixth sense for your Raspberry Pi. With its sensitive on-board sensors, it feels pressure, humidity, temperature, color, orientation, and movement with precision. Its eyes, an 8x8 RGB LED matrix, not only visualize data but also interact through a five-button joystick, allowing users to navigate projects effortlessly.

Born for the prestigious Astro Pi programme aboard the International Space Station, the Sense HAT is not just for astronauts. It’s perfect for any project that needs environmental or positional sensing on Earth too. Powered by the Raspberry Pi, it connects easily with any 40-pin GPIO header.

With the backing of an official Python library, using the Sense HAT is a breeze, providing easy access to its suite of sensors, colorful LED matrix, and joystick. With the Sense HAT, your Raspberry Pi isn't just smart; it’s perceptively brilliant!
