The amazing versatile Arduino microprocessor board that can be used in many projects.
The Sense Hat from Raspberry Pi was developed as part of the Astro Pi Project. The Sense Hat comes with its own library and a variety of hardware including: a 8×8 RGB LED matrix for output; a five-button joystick for user control; and the following sensors:
- Gyroscope used to measure the positioning of an object
- Accelerometer used to measure the rate of the velocity of an object
- Magnetometer that provides an electronic compass
- Barometric pressure
The purpose of this page is a quick guide to using the different aspects of the Sense Hat but for full details you should check out the API.
The Zumo Robot shield comes with a buzzer that can be used to signify events or actions.
The Zumo Robot Shield can be fitted with a Reflectance Sensor Array that allows it to solve different line/maze style problems. The Zumo Shield libraries provide methods to help read values from the sensor array. Packages and installation instructions can be downloaded from GitHub and once installed the sensor library can be included from Sketch > Include Library. The sensor array uses the QTR sensors and therefore their library must also be included (installed as standard).
