Raspberry Pi Sense HAT expansion board brings versatile sensor capabilities to the Raspberry Pi computer for measuring environment and motion. The board's sensors measure air pressure, temperature, humidity, color, and the device's orientation and movement. The 8×8 RGB LED matrix enables visualization of measurement data, and the five-direction joystick provides an easy interface for projects.

The Sense HAT was originally developed for use on the International Space Station as part of the Astro Pi programme. It is suitable for a variety of projects requiring environmental measurements or motion/orientation detection. The device is powered directly from the Raspberry Pi computer and is compatible with all Raspberry Pi models featuring the 40-pin GPIO header. The official Python library enables easy use of all features.
