I'm guessing you have an LCD kit like this one Adafruit's RGB LCD Shield Kit w/ 16x2 Character Display.

So:

Find out which 2 GPIO pins on your RPi your desired preset buttons on your LCD kit are connected to.
Then, assuming you're using Joseph's original version of SamplerBox, you want to edit lines 374 and 375 of your samplerbox.py file.

For example using pins 20 and 21:

        GPIO.setup(20, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)
        GPIO.setup(21, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)

Make sure you maintain line indentations - this is a distinct feature of python

Hey mike m,

Be default SamplerBox listens to pins 17 and 18. Make sure you're connected to those pins first and that you've wired your buttons correctly.
