Nice little tool for learning and a wide variety of neat features. Love the display and the access to sensors. Joystick is useful for providing inputs e.g. switching functions (if you use it that way) However, I don't have a use for it, outside of learning, which makes it an expensive unit, especially as the PI has a software emulator for the same device.

Great unit - but took a little fathoming out on the P400. My issue was that the OS image for the PI400 needed an entry in the config.txt file dtoverlay = rpi-sense and it also needs I2C enabled. I only found out about this after googling. The strange thing, is that without these two settings the rainbow display is ON - with them - it is OFF. So if you boot and the rainbow stays on - you probably have a problem to solve.

Nice piece of kit. Does every thing it claims. My only problem? I do not have enough time to spend playing with it!!! Fitted it to a rpi zero with 32GB card. Thank you Pi Hut. Keep up the good work. Arthur.

great bit of kit. I think the calibration on the temperature sensor is about 8 degrees to high though. Good for showing kids program and what you can do and how to display information of the 8x8 pixel grid.

Very easy and handy way to add a lot of sensors to the raspberry pi, and to use as a learning tool. The ample documentation for Scratch and python gives a lot of handles to teach my children about computers, and it is fun too!

Very good, the LEDs are bright and the python library provided is very beginner friendly. It took me only 5mins or so to get the hang of it. The sensors are useful for compact projects that require them and the although the 5 way joystick is very small and can be hard to use for precision input, it is a convenient way to have an input method attached straight to the pi itself. The only downside of the Sense HAT is that all the GPIO pins are in use but with all the capabilities it has, I doubt this will be a problem for most.
