This example presentation demonstrates how to define GPIO input in BrightSign Author. When GPIO 0 is pressed the presentation will switch from the current video to the next video:

1. Create an interactive playlist.  
2. Go to **Presentation Settings > Interactive**, and locate the **Connectors** tab (see Image 1). 
3. Go to **GPIO Configuration** and select **Input** for **GPIO 0**.
4. Add the videos to the playlist.
5. From the top **Events** bar, select **GPIO 0** and draw a connection from *video1.mp4* to *video2.mp4*.
6. Add a **Media End** event to *video2.mp4* to play it immediately after *video1.mp4* finishes. While *video2.mp4* plays, GPIO 0 input will be ignored.
7. To accept GPIO 0 input during *video2.mp4* and have it trigger *video1.mp4*, draw a connection from the *video2.mp4 *to *video1.mp4* state using the **GPIO 0** Event from **Events**. Pushing GPIO 0 will now take you back to *video1.mp4*.
8. Select the **GPIO 0** Event stemming from *video2.mp4 *and in **Event Properties > Target State** select **Transition to new state** and select *video2.mp4* from the dropdown list (see Image 2). Now, pushing GPIO 0 restarts *video2.mp4* instead of taking it back to *video1.mp4*.
