So I decided to stop waiting and just do it :-) Connecting the sensors I wanted something easy to attach to my old Pi, a Raspberry Pi 2 model B+, that would let me easily read the data from the sensors. The Pimoron's Weather HAT fit perfectly with what I wanted: Just connect it to the GPIO interface Download and install the Python library provided by Pimoroni Pimoroni has a good tutorial that helps you build it and solve some of the common issues.
