Pimoroni Plasma 2040

Swathe everything in rainbows with this all-in-one, USB-C powered controller for WS2812/Neopixel and APA102/Dotstar addressable LED strip. Plasma 2040 is an RP2040-based driver board for addressable LED strips (also known as magical rainbows by the meter). It's designed to make rigging up bits of custom, programmable lighting as straightforward as possible - perfect for whipping up some quick under-cupboard illumination, dramatically underlighting your sofa, or providing some atmospheric mood lighting for your workspace, PC, or vivarium. Plasma 2040 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 are three useful buttons that you could use for turning the lights on and off or to switch between colors or effects, plus a reset button and an eternally popular onboard RGB LED. Pimoroni also popped a QW/ST connector on there, to make it super easy to plug in Qwiic or STEMMA QT breakouts -
