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.

Start environmental sensing with a solid Raspberry Pi hardware stack.

The Top HAT Sensor Kit packages a 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.

Complete sensor starter kit

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

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.

Beginner-friendly prototyping

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