This is the RGB/Button Shield for RFduino, a small add-on board for the RFduino DIP module. Just as its name suggests, this little board is equipped with two pushbuttons and an RGB LED. This shield can be easily attached above or below any other RFduino product and will work perfectly with the RFduino Colorwheel and RFduino LEDButton iOS apps (both found in the Documents section below).
Both button inputs on the RGB/Button Shield offer 10k resistor pull downs. This shield, when used in conjunction with the RFduino DIP and USB Shield boards can create a very easy project for beginners!

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, the three primary colours of light that are mixed in varying amounts to make a wide range of colours. In electronics RGB can refer to an LED or pixel that blends these three colours, or to a colour signal or interface that carries separate red, green and blue channels.
- Shield
- An add-on board that plugs into a main controller board to give it extra features such as sensing, motor control or communication. Knowing a product supports shields helps you judge whether it can connect neatly into an existing maker-board setup.
