Review on 🌡️ Raspberry Pi Sense HAT: Enhanced Orientation, Pressure, Humidity and Temperature Sensors for Seamless Integration by James Cruz

Cool LEDs. They work great. Just don't stare at them for too long, they're incredibly bright. The joystick works great too. After calibration, the orientation sensors also work well. However, there is a design flaw. Various sensors sit just above the giant heat source: the Raspberry Pi itself. Because of this, if you actually install it on a Raspberry Pi, you'll never get accurate ambient readings. You only get the Pi Sense temperature heated by the CPU. A hacky way is to use a 40-pin IDE extension cable, but that defeats the sense that it's a pi hat. You can also compensate for this in code, but to do that you need to get information from two other temperature sensors (CPU temp and a third independent thermometer), which is even worse.
