The Sense HAT is an add-on board that gives your Raspberry Pi an array of sensing capabilities. The on-board sensors allow you to monitor pressure, humidity, temperature, color, orientation, and movement. The bright 8×8 RGB LED matrix allows you to visualize data from the sensors, and the five-button joystick lets users interact with your projects.

The Sense HAT was originally developed for use on the International Space Station, as part of the educational Astro Pi program run by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in partnership with the European Space Agency. It is well suited to many projects that require position, motion, orientation, or environmental sensing. The Sense HAT is powered by the Raspberry Pi computer to which it is connected.

An officially supported Python library provides access to all of the on-board sensors, the LED matrix, and the joystick. The Sense HAT is compatible with any Raspberry Pi computer with a 40-pin GPIO header.

The Sense HAT has an 8×8 RGB LED matrix and a five-button joystick, and includes the following sensors:

• Gyroscope
• Accelerometer
• Magnetometer
• Temperature
• Barometric pressure
• Humidity
• Color and brightness
