Official sensor HAT with an 8×8 RGB LED matrix, five-button joystick and sensors including gyroscope — originally made for the Astro Pi mission.
Product Overview
Designed for the Astro Pi mission to the International Space Station, the Sense HAT adds an 8×8 RGB LED matrix, a five-button joystick and a set of environmental and motion sensors to your Raspberry Pi. A ready-made Python library makes it an excellent tool for teaching programming and physical computing.
Key Features
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| 8×8 RGB LED matrix | Display text, images and data |
| Five-button joystick | Build games and menus |
| Gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer | Measure motion and orientation |
| Barometer, temperature and humidity sensing | Environmental monitoring |
| Connects via the 40-pin GPIO header | No wiring — it sits on top of the Pi |
| Python library | Read sensors in a few lines of code |
Applications
| Application Area | Example Projects |
|---|---|
| Education | Physical computing and data-science lessons |
| Weather stations | Temperature, pressure and humidity logging |
| Games | LED-matrix games with joystick control |
| Motion | Tilt, orientation and compass projects |
| Space education | Astro Pi-style experiments |
Benefits
Many sensors, no wiring
Everything is on one board, so projects work first time.
Great for teaching
The Python library keeps code short and readable.
Real science
Sensor data can be logged and graphed like a real experiment.
