LED SHIM is ideal for status updates, notifications, a VU meter, or as a bar graph for sensor readings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe really nifty thing about LED SHIM is that it doesn't require any soldering. We've engineered a new friction-fit header that slips securely onto the Pi's pins. Because LED SHIM's PCB is just 0.8mm thick, like our\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eother SHIMs, you can use it at the same time as\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHATs and pHATs, and it'll stick out and be visible at the top of your Pi. Of course, if you want to solder LED SHIM to your Pi's pins or solder a female header to it, then you can do that too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are similar (but even smaller) to the RGB LEDs that we use on\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eUnicorn HAT HD, being driven by the same IS31FL3731 LED matrix driver chip that's on\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eScroll pHAT HD.
