Finding the buttons on an LCD shield/display

Thu Jan 22, 2015 8:16 pm

Hello ya'll
I am having this beauty up and running; https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-16x ... i/overview

But I can't figure out how to use the buttons, I am using the software mentioned here; http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt ... 67#p423867

Only the 'select' button is working. I am new to GPIO, pins and hardware, what can I do?

A couple of posts below that one there is some button code contributed by aldofado. Is that what you are using? I'm afraid I didn't write it and haven't tested it. It's a bit messy....

Yes with that code I can detect button 'select'. But not the rest.
