PIMORONI Button SHIM for Raspberry Pi

Button SHIM provides five physical buttons and an RGB status LED, and is compatible with both HATs and pHATs!

Features:

• Compact Design: Pimoroni SHIM-format boards are designed to be soldered neatly onto your Raspberry Pi’s GPIO pins, allowing simultaneous use of HATs and pHATs.
• Versatile Usage: The buttons and status LED extend from the top edge of your Pi for easy access, providing physical interaction and visual feedback for your projects.
• Flexible Installation: You can solder Button SHIM directly onto the GPIO pins or use the included female header to use it as a standalone board.
• Retained GPIO Access: Utilizing an IO expander to manage the button states and drive the LED ensures you retain full access to all of your Pi’s GPIO pins, provided the I2C address (0x3f) does not conflict with other devices.

Ideal Applications:

• Controller for LED Boards: Perfect for controlling LED boards like Unicorn pHAT, Mote, and Blinkt!.
• Interactive Projects: Add physical buttons to your project for enhanced interaction and control.
• Visual Feedback: The RGB status LED offers clear visual feedback for various states or alerts.
• Clock and Timer Projects: Combine with Four Letter pHAT to create an alarm clock or a stopwatch/timer.

Button SHIM enhances your Raspberry Pi projects by adding easy-to-use physical buttons and an RGB LED without sacrificing GPIO access or compatibility with other HATs and pHATs.
