    About this ebook

    Space exploration is fascinating and inspiring for children and adults alike. With the tiny Raspberry Pi computer helping to change the world little-by-little, it was only a matter of time before it went to space to help out there as well. This new adventure is called the Astro Pi project. To help the Raspberry Pi in its extraterrestrial mission, the Sense HAT was created to provide more functionality; the Sense HAT board sits on top of the Raspberry Pi, and has lights and sensors to allow the Pi to interact with the outside world.

    Master essential world-sensing skills across 10 chapters:

    • What is the Sense HAT?
    • How does the Astro Pi mission work?
    • Master the Sense HAT's capabilities
    • Build a fun gravity simulator
    • Make a digital Magic 8 Ball
    • Create an interactive pixel pet
    • Build a reactions testing game
    • Make a powerful data logger

    In this book, we aim to help you figure out exactly what the Sense HAT is and how you could use it to make your projects and dreams a reality. It's an incredibly versatile and flexible bit of kit with plenty of very obvious uses, along with many many less-obvious ones, that you'll love to make and share.
