GH60 PCB Rev B In Switch LEDs not lighting up
« on: Tue, 05 July 2016, 09:40:23 »
I recently purchases a GH60 PCB with switches installed (with in switch leds), but cant seem to find out how to get all the LED's to light up.  I have read, and gone through the EASY AVR information, but still have no idea what to do.  Can somebody please let me know how to get them all to light up, or point me in the right direction?  Thanks.

The official GH60 PCB? It doesn't support backlighting throughout the whole board.

Technically it does, but it needs an addon board in order to actually drive the LEDs. I don't know where one would get that board though.

AFAIK they don't actually exist.

ok, i guess I can go ahead and de-solder the led's then.  I bought it with them already soldered in.

Are you sure it's not a satan gh60? That's different from the official gh60.

Maybe ask the person you bought it from.
