# Raspberry Pi Sense HAT V2

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** CE04623 · **Brand:** [Raspberry Pi](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/raspberry-pi-australia)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-sense-hat.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-sense-hat.html.md))

The Raspberry Pi Foundation wanted to create a HAT which not only contained a plethora of sensors but an interactive LED display with user input. In fact, it's so cool, that the Raspberry Pi Foundation is using it to perform scientific experiments onboard the International Space Station!

## Pricing

- **Price:** $60.25 (inc GST) — $54.77 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 6+ $53.13 (exc GST) · 12+ $52.04 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney).
- We can dispatch 89 today; more stock is typically available with a 5–11 day lead time.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE04623:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE04623:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

The Raspberry Pi Foundation wanted to create a HAT which not only contained a plethora of sensors but an interactive LED display with user input. The Sense HAT is the complete package if you're looking for a HAT to learn all kinds of different programming and hardware concepts. In fact, it's so cool, that the Raspberry Pi Foundation is using it to perform scientific experiments onboard the International Space Station!

The Sense hat gives you access to:

- Orientation (yaw, pitch & roll) via an accelerometer, 3D gyroscope, and magnetometer
- Pressure
- Humidity
- Temperature
 
A set of 4 standoffs is included in the packaging to safely secure the Sense Hat to your Raspberry Pi

It'd be a bit boring if all that data had to be contained to the terminal, so there's an 8x8 RGB LED matrix which can be used to display anything you like! A compass, tilt display, or interactive games such as Tetris, Pong, Snake, or Space Invanders (just to name a few) could all be displayed and interacted with using the onboard joystick. Oh yeah, there's an onboard joystick too, cool right!

Fortunately, in the spirit of Raspberry Pi, you don't need to be a programming wizard to get started with the Pi Sense Hat. There's a complete database of projects, information, ideas, and instructions on the AstroPi website.

### Technical Specs:

- Gyroscope 
    - Angular rate sensor (dps): ~245/500/2000
- Accelerometer 
    - Linear acceleration sensor (g): ~2/4/8/16
- Magnetometer 
    - Magnetic sensor (gauss): ~4/8/12/16
- Barometer: 260 - 1260 hPa absolute range (accuracy depends on the temperature and pressure, ~0.1 hPa under normal conditions)
- Temperature sensor: Accurate to ~2°C in the 0-65°C range
- Relative humidity sensor: Accurate to ~4.5% in the 20-80%rH range, accurate to ~0.5°C in 15-40°C range
- 8x8 RGB LED matrix display
- Small 5 button joystick
- 65.1mm x 56.6mm x 13.9mm (2.6" x 2.2" x 0.5")
- 20.4g (0.7oz)
 
### Compatibility:

The Sense HAT is compatible with 40-pin Raspberry Pi's including:

- [Raspberry Pi 2](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-2-model-b.html)
- [Raspberry Pi 3 Model A+](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-model-a-256mb-ram-9724.html)
- [Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-3-model-b-plus.html)
- [Raspberry Pi 4](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-4-model-b-4gb.html)
- [Raspberry Pi 5](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi/cases-5-model-b/raspberry-pi-5-boards.html)
- [Raspberry Pi Zero](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi/boards/zero.html)
 
For use with a Pi 5 and active cooler, [longer pin headers](https://core-electronics.com.au/poe-hat-push-fit-extra-tall-header-kit.html) are required.

It will not work on the earlier 26-pin Raspberry Pis.
