I now have a use for this domain \ud83d\ude42  My Python + Raspberry Pi development. <\/p>\n

So, about a month ago, I got a few raspberry pi 3B+ with 2x senseHAT's.  Long story short, the senseHAT is an attachment that is loaded with sensors, a 5 'button' joystick and 8×8 LED grid.  By making your own programs, you can access the hardware and get readings or have the LED's light up in any way you like, including animations.  <\/p>\n

The raspberry pi peaked my interest for a few reasons.  <\/p>\n

1.  They are pretty cheap at about $50 Canadian.<\/p>\n

2.  They are small and power efficient.  AKA I can power them for a long time (few days) off a USB battery bank.  <\/p>\n

3.  Decent support to help learn programming.  Check out their website www.raspberrypi.org<\/a><\/p>\n

However, I was more interested in what kind of environmental data I could digitize through the sensors.  AKA more accurate local weather type information.  Before I could start however, I needed to think of how I could get and store information from the sensors and ways I could manipulate that data to find cool patterns (like when its the coldest time of day, and how and when that changes over days, months, years, etc).  <\/p>\n

I have tried a few times to learn programing (C++, Java), but ultimately failed the self taught way, due to a lack of direction to assist with learning (AKA motivation).  But now, for about $150, I can get the pi + senseHAT to do a lot! <\/p>\n

I have actually come pretty far already considering I only got them a month ago, but I'll post about that later.  <\/p>\n

This site will be active! <\/p>\n
