It includes an IMU (gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer) for motion tracking, and environmental sensors for temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure. Ideal for data logging, gaming, and IoT applications, this board is the same hardware used in the Astro Pi missions on the International Space Station.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSensor ICs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eICM-20948 (IMU), LPS25HB (pressure), HTS221 (temp\/humidity)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIMU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9-axis: gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePressure range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e260 – 1260 hPa\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLED Matrix\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8×8 RGB (RGB565 format)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJoystick\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5-directional mini joystick\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBoard dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e65mm × 56mm × 19mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You Can Build With This\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/kit-humidity-comfort-display\"\u003eEnvironmental monitoring station: log temperature, humidity, pressure over time and display on the LED matrix.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOrientation indicator: use the IMU to create a spirit level or compass with the LED matrix.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/kit-soil-sensor-data-logger\"\u003eSpace data logger: simulate the Astro Pi environment by collecting sensor data in a portable setup.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRetro gaming: develop a small game using the joystick for input and the matrix as display.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sense HAT 2 is compatible with all Raspberry Pi models featuring a 40-pin GPIO header, including Pi 4, Pi 3, Pi 2, Pi Zero, and Pi 400. It uses the dedicated Python library (sense-hat) for easy programming. The board operates at 3.3V logic and is powered directly from the Pi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWiring Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimply align the GPIO header and press the board onto the Pi's pins; no external wiring is needed. Ensure the Pi is powered off when attaching. If using with a case, check clearance for the header and the board height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Compoden\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing.
