Which Board?RGB Please note that Keyhive is selling a customised and incompatible Sofle RGB version which is not part of this repository and therefore not supported here.
Which Board Revision?
RGB 2.1
What steps have you taken
[x] I have searched the Issues page
[x] I have read the documentation
[x] 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 is the issue?
I'm a beginner in custom keyboard building and I'm looking at using the JLCPCB assembly service for my Sofle RGB 2.1 build. However, I'm unsure if it's possible to utilize their service to pre-solder the diodes and LEDs given the board's reversible design.
Since the Sofle RGB is reversible, I would need components soldered on the top face for some boards and the bottom face for others to ensure correct left and right halves. I haven't found any options on the JLCPCB website that allow for this kind of specific component placement.
Is there a way to split the KiCad PCB design into two separate boards (one for the left side and one for the right) to make the JLCPCB assembly service suitable for this project?
What you expected:
Ideally, I'd like to be able to order PCBs from JLCPCB with diodes and LEDs pre-soldered.
Additional Information:
I have experience making PCBs myself.
I'm not interested in soldering close to 60 diodes and LEDs.
Kind of issue? HELP!
