Raspberry Pi

I am very pleased to have finally received the Raspberry Pi 3 that I ordered the other day. I also got a Sense Hat – an add-on board for Raspberry Pi, made especially for the Astro Pi mission

The Sense HAT has an 8×8 RGB LED matrix, a five-button joystick and includes the following sensors:

  • Gyroscope
  • Accelerometer
  • Magnetometer
  • Temperature
  • Barometric pressure
  • Humidity

There is even a  Python library providing easy access to everything on the board. I can’t wait to start using it with some of the APIs available at Bluemix for example. Any ideas are more than welcome.
