plasma library not compatible with RPi 5 #16

Hi, I was using the plasma library to light up my picade plasma arcade button. It works fine with the RPi 4. However, it does not work anymore when I switch to RPi 5, it says "No SOC Peripheral address". I believe it could be due to the RPi.GPIO library being used in the plasma library. How can I solve this issue?

This is another project on my long list of projects to migrate.

You might have some luck removing RPi.GPIO and installing rpi-gpiod - https://github.com/waveform80/rpi-lgpio// - but gpiod-based GPIO access is slow, so any Plasma lighting relying upon it is going to suffer.
