{"title":"LED SHIM","handle":"led-shim","url":"/products/led-shim","description":"The LED SHIM is a slim bar of 28 RGB LED pixels that slips directly onto your Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins — no soldering required. Its friction-fit header provides a secure connection, and at just 0.8 mm thick, it can be used alongside HATs and pHATs without interference, peeking out visibly at the top of the board.\n\nDriven by the IS31FL3731 LED matrix driver chip, LED SHIM provides individual control of all 28 pixels with full RGB colour mixing. A Python library with one-line installer and example scripts makes it easy to get started.\n\nKey Features\n\n\n28 RGB LED Pixels – Single-row bar with individually addressable LEDs\n\nNo Soldering Required – Friction-fit header slips onto Pi GPIO pins\n\nUltra-Slim – 0.8 mm thick PCB, compatible with stacked HATs and pHATs\n\nIS31FL3731 Driver – Hardware LED matrix driver for smooth, flicker-free control\n\nPython Library – One-line installer with example scripts included\n\n\n\n\n💻 Terminal\n\ncurl https://get.pimoroni.com/ledshim | bash\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nStatus indicators and notification bars\nVU meters and audio visualisation\nSensor reading bar graphs\nAmbient lighting and mood displays\n\n\nCompatibility\n\nRaspberry Pi 3B+, 3, 2, B+, A+, Zero, and Zero W\n\n\nResources\n\nLED SHIM Python Library (GitHub)\nExample Scripts (GitHub)\n","vendor":"Little Bird","product_type":"physical","in_stock":false,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":7010,"title":"Default Title","sku":"PR-PIM354","price":15.95,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":false,"available_quantity":0,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
