Raspberry Pi Sense HAT V2
by Raspberry Pi




An add-on board that gives your Raspberry Pi an array of sensing capabilities - pressure, humidity, temperature and orientation sensors plus a beautiful 8x8 LED matrix.
The on-board sensors allow you to monitor pressure, humidity, temperature, colour, orientation, and movement. The bright 8×8 RGB LED matrix allows you to visualise data from the sensors, and the five-button joystick lets users interact with your projects.
Hardware designed for space
The Sense HAT was originally developed for use on the International Space Station, as part of the educational Astro Pi programme 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.
Specifications
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
- Colour and brightness
Attach the HAT to your Pi's GPIO pins and you can use the integrated circuit based sensors for many different types of experiments, applications, and even games.
The sensors enable you to read:
- Orientation (yaw, pitch & roll) via an accelerometer, 3D gyroscope and magnetometer
- Pressure
- Humidity
- Temperature
