I soldered my diodes wrong but I think it's fine- can someone double check me?
« on: Sat, 09 May 2020, 16:16:51 »
I had a big brain fart when soldering the diodes for my dactyl keyboard. I meant to attach the diodes to the switch before the row wire (reference) but did this instead.

I'm thinking about it now, and it seems like they'll still do their job. But since I'm not an expert, I thought I'd check before continuing work on the wiring. Thanks!

you've put all the diodes in series, they can't work like that. in parallel is the correct way.

Thanks. More soldering practice for me! At least I caught it early.
