sudo pip install pydhcplib```

### Replace the script’s MAC address with yours

Replace "50:f4:de:f1:3b:a0" with the MAC address you found in step 1
It needs to be lowercase, with a colon after every two characters
```dashbuttons.register("50:f4:de:f1:3b:a0", do_something)```

### Make your Python script executable

```sudo chmod +x /home/pi/dashbutton.py```

### Test the script
Your Python script should now be able to detect your Amazon Dash button presses. Test the Python script by running:

```sudo python /home/pi/dashbutton.py```
Press your button and you should see the message, “button has been pressed”.

### Update the do_something function to make it do something useful


### Set the Python script to run on startup

Edit /etc/rc.local

```sudo vim /etc/rc.local```

Add the following to the end of /etc/rc.local (before exit 0

### Reboot and test your script

```sudo shutdown -r now```

You should have the dashbutton.py process running in the background, listening for presses.
To verify your Python script is running type:

```ps wafux | grep dash```

You should see something like:

```root      2490  0.0  0.6   3756  2296 ?        S    May21   0:00 sudo /usr/bin/python /home/pi/dashbutton.py /home/pi/rclocal.log
root      2499  0.0  1.8   8904  6924 ?        S    May21   0:00  \_ /usr/bin/python /home/pi/dashbutton.py /home/pi/rclocal.log```

This means the Python script is running and listening for your presses.
