The Pimoroni Plasma 2350 W is an all-in-one, USB-C powered controller for WS2812 (a.k.a NeoPixel) and APA102 (a.k.a DotStar) addressable LED strips. Now with added wireless connectivity! It’s got the beefy power of an RP2350-based Pico 2, with the same module that is on the 2W for Bluetooth & WiFi support.

Plasma 2350 W is powered and programmable by USB-C, and because USB-C is capable of drawing up to 3A of power, that’s enough to power a healthy chunk of LEDs. There’s a useful button that you could use to switch between effects, plus a reset button and an onboard RGB LED. Pimoroni also popped a QW/ST connector on there to make it super easy to plug in I2C-based Qwiic or STEMMA QT breakouts.

This version comes equipped with a Raspberry Pi RM2 module, which gives it 2.4 GHz wireless and Bluetooth connectivity. Use it to control Plasma 2350 W remotely, hook it up to online APIs, or integrate it with your home automation.
