Five tactile push buttons and one super-bright RGB LED indicator, ideal for adding extra input and visual notifications to your Raspberry Pi alongside most other HATs and pHATs!

Installing

We've created an easy installation script that will install all pre-requisites and get your Buttom SHIM. up and running with minimal efforts. To run it, fire up Terminal which you'll find in Menu -> Accessories -> Terminal on your Raspberry Pi desktop, as illustrated below:

Finding the terminal

In the new terminal window type the command exactly as it appears below (check for typos) and follow the on-screen instructions:

curl https://get.pimoroni.com/buttonshim | bash

Alternatively, on Raspbian, you can download the pimoroni-dashboard and install your product by browsing to the relevant entry:

sudo apt-get install pimoroni

(you will find the Dashboard under 'Accessories' too, in the Pi menu - or just run pimoroni-dashboard at the command line)

If you choose to download examples you'll find them in /home/pi/Pimoroni/buttonshim/.
