This documentation provides an overview of the Sense Hat's features, technical specifications, and code examples to help you get started with using this component in various projects.Technical Specifications8x8 RGB LED Matrix
Accelerometer (ADXL345)
Gyroscope (L3GD20)
Magnetometer (MAG3110)
Temperature Sensor (HTS221)
Humidity Sensor (HTS221)
Compatible with Raspberry Pi models A+, B+, and Raspberry Pi 2, 3, and 4Code Examples### Example 1: Reading Sensor Data and Displaying on LED MatrixThis example demonstrates how to read data from the accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer sensors and display the values on the 8x8 LED matrix.Python Code:
```python
import sense_hat
import time# Initialize the Sense Hat
sense = sense_hat.SenseHat()while True:
# Read sensor data
acceleration = sense.get_accelerometer_raw()
gyroscope = sense.get_gyroscope_raw()
magnetometer = sense.get_magnetometer_raw()# Format the data for display
data_string = "Accel: {:.2f} {:.2f} {:.2f}
Gyro: {:.2f} {:.2f} {:.2f}
Mag: {:.2f} {:.2f} {:.2f}".format(
acceleration['x'], acceleration['y'], acceleration['z'],
gyroscope['x'], gyroscope['y'], gyroscope['z'],
magnetometer['x'], magnetometer['y'], magnetometer['z'])# Display the data on the LED matrix
sense.show_message(data_string, scroll_speed=0.1)# Wait for 1 second before updating the display
time.sleep(1)
```
### Example 2: Creating a Simple Weather Station with Temperature and Humidity SensorsThis example demonstrates how to read data from the temperature and humidity sensors and display the values on the terminal.Python Code:
```python
import sense_hat
import time# Initialize the Sense Hat
sense = sense_hat.SenseHat()while True:
# Read temperature and humidity data
temperature = sense.get_temperature()
humidity = sense.get_humidity()# Format the data for display
print("Temperature: {:.1f}C".format(temperature))
print("Humidity: {:.1f}%".format(humidity))# Wait for 1 minute before updating the display
time.sleep(60)
```
### Example 3: Creating a Simple Animation on the LED MatrixThis example demonstrates how to create a simple animation on the 8x8 LED matrix using the Sense Hat's pixel API.Python Code:
```python
import sense_hat
import time# Initialize the Sense Hat
sense = sense_hat.SenseHat()# Define a simple animation
def animation():
for i in range(8):
for j in range(8):
sense.set_pixel(i, j, (0, 0, 0)) # Clear the pixel
sense.set_pixel(i, j, (255, 0, 0)) # Set the pixel to red
time.sleep(0.1)
sense.set_pixel(i, j, (0, 0, 0)) # Clear the pixel
time.sleep(0.1)while True:
animation()
```
These examples demonstrate the basic functionality of the Raspberry Pi Sense Hat. With its array of sensors and peripherals, the Sense Hat is an ideal component for a wide range of IoT projects, from environmental monitoring to robotics and wearable devices.
