Title: Guide to the A87 PCB
Post by: The_Beast on Sun, 12 May 2013, 13:38:18
Anyone have build instructions on the soldering and the programing of this PCB (not on Korean if possible)?


Thanks :D

I would ask GON : ysymidi@gmail.com
He speaks English well and I believe sells the A.87

I just bought one, I'm looking for a guide to build it and the software/firmware required to run it

I know, what I meant is I know he sells the board, so I would recommend contacting him and asking if he has any video about building it.

Do you have the white PCB or black PCB from LZ?

Diodes should be same as phantom or ergo-dox. All the other SMD components should be same as GH60.

Ok let me clarify: diodes can be the through-hole type, similar to phantom, or you can use SMD diodes, same size as all other korean keyboards. The PCB is labeled so you should know where all the other SMD components go.

I can edit and upload a video on this one in a few weeks. Programming should be the same way as GH60 or phantom since it also uses the Atmega controller. I'm not sure if there are any dedicated software for it.
