Adafruit Pimoroni LED SHIM for Raspberry Pi

Adding a 28 RGB LED pixel strip to your Pi without soldering? Yes, it's possible! Pimoroni's LED SHIM for Raspberry Pi is versatile for displaying sensor readings, status updates, or measuring voltages using a colorful LED light bar. Just slip the SHIM over your Pi pins with the friction-fit header for an easy setup.

The LED SHIM's slim profile of just 0.8mm allows for seamless multitasking with other HATs and pHATs. Compatible with any Raspberry Pi computer featuring a 2x20 connector, from Pi 1 B+ to Pi 3 and Pi Zero, it offers flexibility for a range of projects.

For those preferring a more permanent connection, soldering to a female header is an option. With 28 RGB LED pixels and an IS31FL3731 LED matrix driver chip controlled over I2C, it combines technology and simplicity. The board’s solderless design makes it handy for quick installations, enhanced by a full-featured Python library for easy coding.
