I currently don't have my potato cam working so I won't actually have images of what I have done.
I recently bought a Digilog case and mentioned it to TacticalStache. He quickly replied saying that some people on the Korean forums has issues with their cases.
This is most likely thought to be related to electrical problems which would either be due to inadequate anodization or lack of a ground.
I will discuss both of these solutions which are very simple and cost next to nothing.
The first problem to tackle is the possibility of inferior anodization.
While I doubt that the job would be so shoddy that electrical problems could occur, it doesn't hurt to take extra measures.
Since my case and many others will have clear anodization with a natural silver, it won't be easy to spot blemishes where there are faults from the anodizing.
The only material that you need to get this to work is some liner. Pond liner, kitchen liner, or any sheet of non-conductive goodness!
Example of liner:
Just cut up a sheet of this to cover the bottom area inside the digilog case. This will prevent any contact of the PCB with the metal.
While there are reports of keyboards not working while they are using liner, it should be noted that this case is roomy under the PCB and you shouldn't feel as though you're jamming a car into a suitcase while you do this.
CORRECTION: If this thing is properly anodized, then grounding to the case will NOT work. I will figure something else out!The next big thing to tackle is the lack of a ground.
While the original Realforce case had a ground cable that would attach to the backplate (which you will see once you unscrew it to fit the pcb in your case) this one does not come with that.
This cable is circled here:
In order to fix this, it's fairly straightforward. Just cut up the ground cable and strip up part of the insulation so that some of the wires are revealed.
Note: Once you strip the insulation, there will be many different strands of copper, just make sure they stay bunched up.
Once that is done, screw it back on to the hole on the backplate where is originally was and then attach it to the underside of the top casing with some electrical tape.
There! You have officially done it! You've insulated the PCB and you have grounded it!
I honestly don't know how effective these methods are but my keyboard is currently working perfectly fine. If anyone has any experience with this sort of stuff and has some input/suggestions feel free to leave them here!
