Here’s a quick tutorial to build a digital clock with your SenseHAT and your Raspberry Pi. The tutorial takes you through installing the necessary software and includes the code for the project. To make it start automatically on power-up, take…
Ville Salminen has written a nice tutorial over on his blog in which he takes a Raspberry Pi, adds a SenseHAT and then programs it to access the SenseHAT sensors to create a mini-weather station. He uses Flask to create…
Recently, Tim Richardson and I were lucky enough to be invited into two schools to teach pupils about the Raspberry Pi. Participants for the first one were all year 8s (12-13 year olds) whilst the second school presented us with…
Gus over at PiMyLifeUp has written some excellent software and accompanying tutorial that enables you to turn your Pi and SenseHAT into an email-inbox-status device. The SenseHAT’s LED matrix is used as a readout to tell you how many unread emails…
Dan Aldred has posted the code for a SenseHAT-based version of the classic game Battleships. Here’s how he describes it: The program creates a random layout of boats, ammo and water. Use the joystick to select a location and then press Enter…
Gus, over at PiMyLifeUp, has done a great tutorial on setting up a SenseHAT as a weather station. He goes through all the software and the Python code you will need. He’s also connected it up to the Initial State service…
Last year, Raspberry Pi teamed up with Trinket to launch a SenseHAT emulator. This emulator, which works in your browser, has now been updated. They’ve added the ability to mimic the movement sensors on-board a real SenseHAT. They’ve also added a…
Albert Hickey is a big fan of using the SenseHAT on the Raspberry Pi and also of using Scratch, the visual programming language. So, he decided to use both with this simple game. You’re presented with a blue dot (which is…
Achilleus from Samnium has contacted me about an application he’s written for the Raspberry Pi 3. It is a light framework for reading data from multiple sensors and sending them over the network. It’s called IoTWork.Reader and was developed in…
