I think it's no plcc6 ?</p>

But you have to put so much energy into colliding the atoms that it would cost more to make it, then dig it out of the ground! So if only the button could produce gold or another valuable Element!! Then sparkfun would be selling another awesome product!!</p>

I can see applications where it'd be valuable to have the color of the button in the unlit state match the color of the button in the lit state, like the other buttons in this series.</p>
