From 2bffceb30adf2ded66349355c0bb3421c9592e5f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frank Delporte Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2026 08:56:21 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Add Sense HAT video to Videos section Add /video listing entry for the "Sense HAT with Pi4J" screencast (YouTube w7xxDu7lJPE), mirroring the existing video page pattern. The July 1 blog post embeds the video inline, but the Videos page is a separate discoverability surface and didn't list it yet.

In this video, Igor De Souza shows how Java developers can talk to all of that hardware through [Pi4J Drivers](/drivers/), the companion library to [Pi4J](https://www.pi4j.com/). + +Instead of implementing the I2C communication for each sensor by hand, Pi4J Drivers wraps the Sense HAT in a clean, consistent Java API: create a `SenseHat` instance and start reading the sensors and driving the LED matrix with straightforward method calls, without manual register handling. + +* [Pi4J website](https://www.pi4j.com/) +* [Pi4J Drivers](/drivers/) +* [Blog post: Sense HAT with Pi4J](/blog/2026/20260701-sense-hat-pi4j-drivers/) +* [Foojay article: Using the Raspberry Pi Sense HAT with Pi4J Drivers](https://foojay.io/today/using-the-raspberry-pi-sense-hat-with-pi4j-drivers/) +* [Pi4J Examples](https://github.com/Pi4J/pi4j-example-drivers) +* [Pi4J GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/Pi4J/pi4j/discussions)
