Pimoroni PIM418 - Picade Plasma Kit - Illuminated Arcade Buttons, Ten-Button Kit
Add technicolour brilliance to your Picade or Picade Console with this addressable RGB LED arcade button kit, available in a 6-button kit (console buttons).
Swap out your Picade's arcade buttons for the crystal clear ones in this kit, pop one of the Picade Plasma PCBs over the button's spade terminals, hold the PCB in place with the spade connectors, and chain all of the Plasma PCBs together with the included cables. Use the host cable to connect the Plasma chain to your Picade X HAT, install Pimoroni Picade Plasma software, and BAM, your Picade is 110% more colourful!
Each Picade Plasma PCB has four tiny, addressable, RGB LEDs (APA102) and a data in and data out JST connector. They're designed to fit neatly inside the recess on the back of our low-profile arcade buttons and shine their light through the clear plastic. The white PCB bounces an spilled light from the LEDs to give them extra GLOW
As well as using Plasma buttons with Picade and Picade X HAT, you can connect them straight to GPIO on your Pi, or other microcontroller. This makes them ideal for DIY arcade builds and even building things like your own DIY midi controller.
You can read Pimoroni tutorial on fitting Picade Plasma buttons to find out how to fit the buttons and control them with the Picade Plasma software.
