pisense 0.1

An alternative API for the Raspberry Pi Sense HAT

This package is an alternative interface to the Raspberry Pi Sense HAT. The major difference to the official API is that the various components of the Sense HAT (the screen, the joystick, the environment sensors, etc.) are each represented by separate classes which can be used individually or by the main class which composes them together.

The screen has a few more tricks including support for any fonts that PIL supports, representation as a numpy array (which makes scrolling by assigning slices of a larger image very simple), and bunch of rudimentary animation functions. The joystick, and all sensors, have an iterable interface too.
