Cannot see sense hat extension in Scratch2

[mediastore93]

I'm trying to follow https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/pro ... mp3-player but get stuck because the sense hat extension doesn't show up in the extension library (when I go to blocks etc), only the pi rpio shows up. Help much appreciated. rpi2 running jessie and scratch 2. Thanks.

Do you know if the HAT actually works (eg from Python)?

Do you still have to enable the GPIO in Scratch - it’s a long time since I used it and only played a bit but we had to enable the ports (gpio server on) then set the HAT as an add-on as the first few blocks. Sorry I’ve not got any other notes from the Jam

One other question...Any reason you are still using Jessie as it is well out of date now?

I updated to Stretch and the Sense Hat appeared in Extensions. Thanks!
