After successfully making a Raspberry Pi boot into a Google Slides presentation and automatically start playing, I was tasked with making a button open a webpage on the Pi.

This proved much more difficult than anticipated.

Firstly, I wired the button to the Pi and made a short program that prints “button pushed” when the button is pushed. The problems came in with the GPIO module I was trying to import. It was not able to import the module after it was installed due to it being depreciated(no longer maintain/out of date). I then began a long search to find a module that worked. The two other modules I tried both would not install due to errors in the way the install command was typed. This is were my search ended.

Next time I work on this project I will search for a module that specifically works with a Raspberry Pi 5.
