The Raspberry Pi Sense HAT V2 is the perfect product to learn about programming and how we interact with the world around us. With its full array of sensors, 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 onboard sensors, the LED matrix, and the joystick. The Sense HAT is compatible with any Raspberry Pi computer with a 40-pin GPIO header.

HAT standoffs and fixings included! New Sense HAT Case for Raspberry Pi 4 is now available!

Features

The Raspberry Pi Sense HAT V2 is attached on top of the Raspberry Pi via the 40-pin GPIO pins (which provide the data and power interface) to create an ‘Astro Pi’.

The Sense HAT has several integrated circuit based sensors can be used for many different types of experiments, applications, and even games.

The sensors enable you to read:

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

    The LED Matrix enables you to display the data from the various sensors, it can show you which way is geomagnetic North by programming a compass using the magnetometer or simply be used to play games like Tetris, Pong and Snake with the joystick. The joystick can also be used to enable a human user to interact with the programs running on the Raspberry Pi Sense HAT.

    Awell made board with a host of features. Delivery was good as usual. I have only just started to use it so do not have anything in depth to report.

    i love all things pi but god forgive they ever work without deep dives into web forums (but that's half the fun) the motion detectors wouldn't work on a brand new pi 4 without a firmware upgrade that is hard to find the position of the temperature sensor means it mostly reads the temp of the board it is on the joystick is a keyboard interupt so pressing it when testing a program has inresting side effects of moving the cursor or adding newlines the hat blocks access to all the pins - limiting what you can add to it that said i've had fun playing with it to built an accleration recorder for my car

    Absolute waste of money. The temperature readings are highly inaccurate when used with a pi 400 and even worse when used with a pi 3 where it is affected by heat from the CPU. I do not understand why anyone would design a piece of equipment for use with pi 3 that would be so affected and then market it as a supposedly useful item. Absolute rubbish.

    Excellent HAT but all too rarely used in UK schools? Shame because it’s a world of STEM for the price. Same old story, if it’s not in the curriculum then it doesn’t exist.

    Had good fun with the Sense Hat, programming it with Python. Not convinced it's calibrated correctly & the header / standoffs are appropriate when the Active Cooler is fitted

    The Sense Hat worked 1st time out of the Box. However following an update on the Rpi5 it didn’t . I tried all the forums and followed the advice and noticed that I had a familiar problem. The Sense hat is marketed as an add on ,with no suggestion of the product being un-reliable. Having said the above , the Pi Hut Customer Service is excellent fast and efficient. I have asked for a replacement which is being processed now.
