The surface mount header on the front side of the board allows the pins through, and holds them securely, giving you full access to the GPIO! Fortunately, as Keith found out, the SenseHAT only uses <strong>two<\/strong> of the pins &#8211; all the sensors and the joystick are read over I2C, the shared two-pin protocol. (<a href=\"http:\/\/pinout.xyz\/pinout\/sense_hat\" target=\"_blank\">Take a look at the\u00a0<strong>brilliant<\/strong> pinout.xyz to see this)<\/a>.
