Just paid my invoice. Seems like LZ doesn't offer assembly service.  :(

How do you know? I see ninjadoc on the invoice and it shows that he has paid for assembly services!
You may notice the note next to my name. LZ noted that "with out full assembled price". I asked him in the form if he could fully assemble it for me, then I get that note, so I guess he doesn't offer it. Not sure about ninjadoc's order.

When you want assembly options you need to discuss it with LZ via email as he said. I have had boards assembled by him in a past group buy but I don't know if it is routinely offered or not.

Holy cow you ordered so many :D

What are your plans for the boards?

Ohhh I see, that explains the lack of response from him. The last update was about a month ago and it seems like the milling process is almost done, hopefully it'll be ready for shipping by the end of this month  :D

Boo! I just noticed a bare spot where the anodised coat didn't cover. And one of the plates is super bent. But I think I can fix that.  Sloppy work on the anodizing . :(

Just spent about five hours soldering all the SMD components (I could swear half of that time was spent flipping the parts the right way up). Anyway, tried plugging it up with the PC, and noticed that only RGB1 to RGB6 (the RGB LEDs) stayed lit up, while the others only flashed very briefly. Anyone else seeing this? Not sure if it's actually a problem - the connection to the other LEDs are there, since they flashed, but I'm still a bit puzzled. And on that note, is there documentation for this board somewhere?

No idea, I only did the resistors just now. Still have to do the diodes. I'll let you know how the board reacts.

Now the adventure begins, I never build a custom keyboard so I will be watching this thread closely for any build logs. And you can expect some questions for sure  :p

Happy to be in this GB and looking forward to a superb keyboard.

Only way would to get one would be to buy one from someone in the group buy in the classifieds. However there are only 14 people who participated so the chances might be slim..

They are, I think size, 2012. The values should be different since the LEDs have different colours, but the ones LZ provided are all 821s (820 Ohm).

Thank you, but I can't seem to find resistors of that size, could you please link a shop? Also, would these be good as the diodes? http://ca.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=1N4148TRvirtualkey61370000virtualkey78-1N4148

If someone would just post a build-log with the components and location of said components that would be amazing.

There are no holes for through hole diodes. So if you are putting together the lz cp pcb those wouldn't work. Maybe  you can diy something but I would stick to your standard t4 diodes. I thought every kit came with a set of everything...

I had a look at the electronics today and soldered switch resistors and diodes. A first test of the matrix revealed that not all keys are working for me. Most keys of the number pad do not signal. A closer look at this showed that Atmega pins PD5, PD6 and PD7 don't work. My soldering work looks ok so I assume its firmware related.

Can somebody confirm this?

i can confirm one thing on my end. i did a electrical test and every key registered. the only keys that i cant confirm work yet is the ketc1. thats beacuse i didnt run through an indepth test. i just shorted everything and the entire board seems to be functioning as intended.

this might be a silly question... but have you checked your diode orientation? or maybe if you thinking the controller isnt making contact try to reflow the connections with fresh solder? i really hope you didnt get a dud controller, that would suck immensely!

all i can say with the info you gave.

edit.

does anyone have the layout chart for the space row? i saw it on the lz page, and now it seems like it was taken down.

You should get a email soon saying it's shipped. From past exp Order ready means that all your ordered parts there boxed but not shipped.
