SK6805/SK6803 as alternatives for per-key RGB #141

Open Sachiru opened 2 years ago

Sachiru commented 2 years ago

Kind of issue? Assembly

Which Board? RGB

Which Board Revision? RGB = 2.0, 2.1

What steps have you taken

Is it possible to substitute a SK6805 or SK6803 for the SK6812s to lower power draw a little if one wants to enable all the lights and is using something like a Proton C or Bonsai C4?

Not out of the box, but feel free to do up a board. They are still 5v, so it should just be a footprint swap. But I can't imagine that soldering LEDs that small will be much fun

  • I have searched the Issues page
  • I have read the documentation
  • For LED issues I have checked the following things
  • the pro micro is programmed (and currently telling the LEDs to do something)
  • the pro micro is powered (and showing LEDs)
  • the LEDs are powered (check 5v across pins 1 and 3 of J1)
  • are any of the LEDs showing

What would be a good alternative that is pin compatible but draws less power? SK6805?
