“Handy little thing for adding some inputs to your project. Only two criticisms - 1) it doesn’t just work by slotting over the pins (like the LED shim), it needs soldering and 2) it doesn't fit on the pi zero when it’s in a pi-bow case, which is a really shame. Otherwise a good bit of kit!”
Ahoy - thanks for the review! You could solder the Button Shim to one of our booster headers ( https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/booster-header ) if you wanted to use it with a Pi Zero in a Pibow.
“Very easy to use - once I realised that the shim has to be soldered onto the Pi and wont work if you try to sandwich it between the Pi and an InkyPhat! Love the fact that there are useful examples so you can get up and running straight away.”
“I bought this to use with my Pi, ideally slipped onto the pins without the need to have to solder a header on, alongside an inky pHAT. I've not been able to get it working yet, but I'm sure that's just ineptness on my part. The buttons have a lovely clicky feel to them and I look forward to puzzling this out when I've got a bit more time. In the interim, I'll use the Touch pHAT on my pHAT stack instead!”
“The library code is good, but it is python. I have an application written in C++ for which I want to use the buttons. How about a C++ library, please!”
“Love the tiny size of this! I ended up soldering mine to the underside of the raspi headers as my US-based packaging didn't come with the longer headers mentioned in other comments. It works fine there! Works flawlessly, using it to control what image is displayed on a yellow Inky pHAT.”
