Building your own AstroPiQuake environment sensor


Sense HAT version 1.0

Raspberry Pi 3 B

Buy a SenseHat, a Raspberry Pi, and some nylon screws. I used SenseHat version 1.0 and the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Starter Pack that includes an SD Memory Card with Raspbian pre-installed. Make sure the pins on SenseHat line up with the Raspberry Pi. For example, a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ (B plus) has pins that prevent attaching Sense HAT version 1.0

Connecting SenseHat

Carefully attach SenseHat to your Raspberry Pi

Interacting with Raspberry Pi

Insert the pre-installed SD memory card that comes with the Starter Pack.

To connect directly to your Raspberry Pi, plug in a USB keyboard and USB mouse. Plug in the HDMI cable to a monitor or TV. Power Raspberry Pi with a wall plug or a USB battery capable of powering a mobile phone.

You can connect remotely using Secure Shell (SSH). First, you must enable SSH. Click the raspberry icon on the menu. Select Preferences, then select Raspberry Pi Configuration. Click the Interfaces tab and enable SSH.
