Description
HAT is Hardware Attached on Top - and the Sense HAT is the perfect educational attachment to a Raspberry Pi.
For input, the SenseHAT includes a small joystick and a variety of sensors including a: Temperature sensor; Humidity sensor; Pressure sensor; Orientation sensor; Acceleration sensor; Gyroscope; Magnetic field sensor.
For output, it has an array of RGB LEDs.
This Project uses Scratch3 on the Raspberry Pi to use input to control both the LEDs and the sprites within Scratch.
