Hi,

Here is a picture of the soldering on my Caps lock key. Not sure what is causing the problem, would appreciate some help.

Thanks!

It fits that case, but I would personally recommend getting a plate so make sure it does flex while typing.

WS2812B, but note that you also need a ATiny85 with the correct firmware for the LEDs to work.

Ok, I understand.

In that case, I would like to order a couple of controllers from you, what is the best way to arrange payment and order details?

BTW if you can send me the hex file I think I can flash it myself. I did a bit of research and I think all I need is a soic socket and an Arduino? I have an Arduino and the soic socket is cheap, so could you just send me the hex file and I can flash it myself 🙂

Oh ok, I understand, I assumed there would be some way to access it through the usb interface. I don’t really know about controller stuff!

Ok, I would be happy to buy one from you, and just in case could I get two instead of just one (I can pay extra)? I am pretty good with soldering and done some SMD resistors and diodes before, so it should be ok for me to do a controller like this (I think).

I mean the only other way would be I send my whole keyboard to you for you to solder on the parts, which would be really expensive and take a long time!

Soldering is not a problem, I have done SMD stuff before.

So what about the firmware? Do you have a version I can download and flash?

[stabilizedMember]

Oh yeah, I see the empty pad for that now. What about other components? I notice that there is a space for resister near the MCU, do those need to be filled? Also I noticed there are pads marked WC beside the LED pads, what are those for?

Sorry if these are basic questions, I kind of thought I could just solder in the LEDs and be done with it!

No it doesn’t, it uses special cut outs in the PCB to allow it to fit in the case. Both the KC60 and the Poker use screws to fit the PCB in the case, and I think they both come with plates that also don’t fit (BBB acrylic case has a integrated plate).

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the reply, for reference those ones linked wouldn’t have worked.
