LED SHIM

https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/led-shim

28 tiny RGB LED pixels in a single row that just slip right onto your Pi's pins, no soldering required! LED SHIM is ideal for status updates, notifications, a VU meter, or as a bar graph for sensor readings.

Installing

Full install (recommended):

We've created an easy installation script that will install all pre-requisites and get your LED 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:

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

git clone https://github.com/pimoroni/led-shim
cd led-shim
./install.sh

Development:

If you want to contribute, or like living on the edge of your seat by having the latest code, you should clone this repository, cd to the library directory, and run:

./install.sh --unstable

In all cases you will have to enable the i2c bus:

sudo raspi-config nonint do_i2c 0
