How to collect data from the Astro Pi | Teach with space T05.3
During the European Astro Pi Challenge, Astro Pi Ed onboard the International Space Station (ISS) will be collecting a range of data using its sensors.
In this set of activities you will explore life conditions onboard the ISS and compare them with life conditions on Earth using the Sense HAT sensors to sense the space around you.
Learning objectives
- Students will learn how to use the Python programing language to communicate with the Sense HAT sensors
- To collect temperature and humidity data from the Sense HAT sensors
- To plot and analyse data
- To display data in the LED matrix
- To detect orientation using the Sense HAT accelerometer
- To use an accelerometer to identify the direction of gravity
- To develop scientific research using computing tools.
