# Plasma Arcade Lights
# Plasma: LED Sequencing

Plasma is an LED/Light sequencing suite written to harmonise a variety of LED strand/board types and interfaces into a standard API for write-once-run-anyway lighting code.

Plasma also includes plasmad, a system daemon for sequencing light strips using PNG images to provide animation frames.

## Compatible Products

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) or 10-button kit (all buttons).
Plasma was originally written to provide an easy way to sequence lights and swap out patterns for the Pimoroni Plasma kit.

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.
