“It is a very good board with lots of goodies like sensors for temperature, humidity, pressure, acceleration, magnetic fields, orientation, etc.
I've enjoyed its mini LED screen displaying fun messages.
Thanks”
“I like this product since it is extemely easy to set up, and there is v. good support for using it. The python bindings do a good job of handling the obscure bits, and present an intuitive interface.
However, I had some trouble getting the 9dof sensor to produce reliable results, and the temperature sensor(s) must be calibrated with your own testing, since they are heated up by the pi's CPU.
If you don't care too much about good absolute readings, the sense hat is a nice board to play around with.”
“The sense HAT combines many functions into a single HAT including 8x8 RGB LED display output and several environmental sensors as well as joystick.
Python makes it easy to use these functions to implement many projects such as an indoor weather station.
What makes it extra cool is the relationship with ESA, see https://astro-pi.org/about/.
Only issues I can see so far is temperature is not accurate (the board gets warm) and I can't display a degree symbol.”
“easy to set up, those sensors are a lot of fun. been using it for a compass, surveillance, scaring the crap out of the neighbor (LED's blinking bright like mad when it's moved).
in one word: hilarious!”
