Hi fellow pimoronis,

While I have the plasma led lights kit for my picade, I remember reading on the product page that you could connect the pins directly on the gpio on the pi… The question is, does anyone know what pins to connect to?

You can see it states on the description it is possible… Just want to learn for an idea I have…

Product page: Picade Plasma Kit - Illuminated Arcade Buttons

Many thanks

I found this info

Connect the CLK wire to the terminal marked BTN7 on the Hack Header, and the DATA wire to the terminal marked BTN8 on the Hack header.
Here:
Fitting Picade Plasma Buttons (pimoroni.com)

Button 7 connects to GPIO 15 / Pin 10
Button 8 connects to GPIO 14 / P{in 8
As per the pinout
