Pros & Cons
Pros
Raspberry pi sense hat is an excellent learning tool. The default operating system is linux, and one of the main programming languages is python. With the python libraries that have already been provided by the raspberry pi foundation it is quick to g... Read More
It has a 40 pin header that can be controlled by the pi to interface with real world sensors. Can detect temperature, pressure, and humidity. The temperature sensor is off, but all it takes is a little physics and you can get the temperature more accu... Read More
Cons
It looks like an off market version and doesn't look like it has the functionality expected. If you are trying to build a weather station, you are far better off using something like a switchlabs sensor hat that has multiple grove connectors. Hopefull... Read More
Highlights
Quality
Very satisfiedgood built in qualityvery bright led lightsit’s fun to do some programming with sense hat
Easy to use, and the tutorials are great to get started using it, with the sensor data, and led matrix.
The temperature sensor would lock up after continues polls and only reboot would fix it.
Be warned, the temp reading is kind of useless because it is affected by the heat of the pi.
Price
The thing is cute, it has good sensors, it's quite overpriced but that's the cadillac of pi accessories so i guest it is what it is.
Shipping
Super fast replies to questions from seller!
Fast shipping, everything as described on product page.
Competitiveness
We also compared the temperature to another thermometer and it was pretty accurate.
I found it works great with the pi 400, 4b, 3b and even works well with the pi zero!

Update i had to go into the config file to force the pi to detect the sense hat and everything seems to be working at the moment so i raised the rating
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Returned the item as i already had most of the sensors and it was causing hardware conflicts on my 3b and use the 7inch display great as a standalone but for a more advanced user i suggest planning your prototype before punching equipment because it went to space
