Complete starter bundleIncludes the CirkitScape Top HAT, sensors, and jumper wires in one kit.

Analog sensor supportUse the Top HAT to read real-world analog sensor values directly from your Raspberry Pi workflow.

Project-ready prototypingGood for first builds, bench testing, and proof-of-concept monitoring projects.

Expandable platformAdd more sensors, actuators, and automation logic as the project grows.

Why it exists

Start environmental sensing with a real Raspberry Pi hardware stack.

The Top HAT Garden Kit packages a practical set of hardware for learning, prototyping, and building sensor-driven projects without starting from a blank bench. It gives you a documented board, common environmental sensors, and the wiring needed to begin testing quickly.

KIT

Complete sensor starter kit

Includes the CirkitScape Top HAT, temperature and humidity sensor, capacitive soil moisture sensor, water detection sensor, and jumper wires.

HAT

Powered by the Top HAT

Expands your Raspberry Pi with additional GPIO, analog sensor inputs, RS-485 communication, and USB hub functionality for broader project flexibility.

LAB

Beginner-friendly prototyping

Works well as a first platform for wiring sensors, reading data, testing ideas, and expanding into larger monitoring or automation systems.

Quick details

Best fit / use cases

MonitoringTemperature, humidity, soil moisture, and water presence projects

LearningGood for makers, students, and engineers learning sensor integration with Raspberry Pi

AutomationSuitable as a starting point for environmental monitoring and automation experiments

ExpansionUse the included kit as a base, then add more digital, analog, USB, or RS-485 devices later

WorkflowDesigned to help you connect sensors and begin testing without designing a custom PCB first

Documentation-first

Everything needed to bring the kit up fast.

Core Top HAT documentation, setup files, examples, and the Cirkit Garden software are grouped here so builders can review support before buying or wiring the kit.

Project ideas

Use it as a starting point, not a dead-end kit.

The bundle is broad enough for practical sensing demos while still leaving room to expand into more advanced Raspberry Pi builds.

GRDN

Smart garden builds

Monitor temperature, humidity, soil moisture, and water presence for plant care or small environmental sensing projects.

IOT

IoT and dashboard projects

Feed sensor data into Raspberry Pi software, local dashboards, alerts, or logging tools for deeper experimentation.

EDU

Hands-on electronics learning

Useful for teaching sensor wiring, analog versus digital measurements, and hardware/software integration in a tangible way.
