Max number of addressable LEDs Plasma 2040

Support
1

I’ve just bought the Wireless Plasma Kit (Pico W Aboard) with 50 LEDs
Is it possible to drive more than 50 LEDs from this board? If so how can they be connected, can they be connected in parallel or spliced onto the other end of the existing wire?
Does the Plasma 2040 with USB C allow more LEDs to be connected>
If this can be done where can I get led strings from , the same as the ones in Plasma kit?

Yep! You’d need to snip off the glued end and solder the exposed wires to the tinned wires on another set. I got it to drive about 100 of the LEDs that come in the kit (though I did start to see some voltage drop at the end of the chain when at full white, full brightness)

Does the Plasma 2040 with USB C allow more LEDs to be connected

Yes, a USB C connection should be able to provide more power than USB micro-B.

If this can be done where can I get led strings from , the same as the ones in Plasma kit?

We’ll have the LED wire for sale on its own soon, we just need to restock our supplies :)

Thanks.

Do you have a link for the LED string so I can add a watch?

Not yet but I’ll try and give you a heads up when there is!

Yes, that’s the one!

(apologies I didn’t manage the heads up!)
