Finally back in stock is this great new add-on plug-on for the Raspberry Pi that is ideal for the education/hobbyist market.

Raspberry Pi Sense HAT

with Orientation, Pressure, Humidity and Temperature Sensors

Description

The Raspberry Pi Sense HAT is attached on top of the Raspberry Pi via the 40 GPIO pins (which provide the data and power interface) to create an ‘Astro Pi’.
The Sense HAT has several integrated circuit based sensors that you can use for many different types of experiments, applications, and even games.

Hardware Attached on Top (HAT) Board

What makes the Astro Pi so special is the Hardware Attached on Top board, called HAT for short. This board, as the name suggests, is attached on top of the Raspberry Pi computer via the 40 General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) pins which provide the data and power interface. This board has several integrated-circuit based sensors that can be used for many different types of experiments, applications, and even games.

The HAT board includes the following components:

• Gyroscope
• Accelerometer
• Magnetometer
• Temperature sensor
• Barometric pressure sensor
• Humidity sensor
• 8×8 RGB LED matrix display
• 5 button joystick
