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 into space to help out there as well. The Raspberry Pi Sense HAT aids two Raspberry Pi computers on board the International Space Station in their extraterrestrial mission: it sits on top of each Raspberry Pi, equipped with lights and sensors that allow the Raspberry Pi to interact with the world around it.

In this book, we help you figure out exactly what the Sense HAT is and how you can use it to make your projects and dreams a reality. You'll learn by building:

A digital twist on the Magic 8 Ball Your own interactive pixel pet A sparkly light show An environmental data logger Flappy Astronaut, a low-res, high-fun video game

The Sense HAT is an incredibly versatile and flexible bit of kit with plenty of obvious uses, along with a huge number of less obvious ones, that you'll love to make and share. Updated for the latest Raspberry Pi devices and hardware, this book has everything you need to get started.
