Hi!
I’d love a Plasma 2040. Will they be restocked any time soon?
Alternatively can anyone recommend a tutorial for an absolute beginner on connecting RGB LEDs to a raspberry pi. Thank!
The Picade Plasma software will run on a Pi, without the need for the Picade X hat.
I ran it on my Blinkt.

Adafruit have a bunch of tutorials on LED strips.

We’re waiting for PCBs to arrive so we can make more Plasma 2040s, they should hopefully be here in the next couple of weeks :)
Thanks so much for your responses :)
Look forward to working on this
One thing: I wish the plasma 2040 had 10 buttons. That is all. Just 10 buttons to trigger 10 different functions. Perhaps I will look into running the software off my PI as I guess that would let me trigger different sequences.
You could use a IO Expander breakout with Plasma 2040 to hook up lots of buttons, or a RGB encoder to switch between different patterns?
