Swathe everything in rainbows with this all-in-one, USB-C powered controller for WS2812/Neopixel and APA102/Dotstar addressable LED strip.
Plasma 2040 is a RP2040-based driver board for addressable LED strip (also known as magical rainbows by the metre). It’s designed to make rigging up bits of?custom, programmable lighting?as straightforward as possible – perfect for whipping up some quick under-cupboard illumination, dramatically underlighting your sofa or providing some atmospheric mood-lighting for your workspace, PC or vivarium.
Plasma 2040 is?powered and programmable by USB-C?and, because USB-C is capable of drawing up to 3A of power, that’s enough to power a healthy chunk of LEDs. There’s three?useful buttons?that you could use for turning the lights on and off or to switch between colours or effects, plus a reset button and an eternally popular?onboard RGB LED.
We’ve also popped a?QW/ST connector?on there, to make it super easy to plug in?Qwiic?or?STEMMA QT?breakouts – how about hooking up an?RGB potentiometer?to adjust the speed or hue of your lights, an?air quality sensor?to make your desk lighting into a giant thermometer or tell you when you should crack a window or a?light sensor?to turn them on automatically when it gets dark?
