I'm putting together a 70ish% keyboard and I intend to use the TMK firmware. I ordered
these LEDs so I can install one under the Ecs key to indicate when a secondary layer is toggled. I've been having a hard time finding resources about installing one such light.
Do I just connect one end of the LED to a Teensy pin and handle the rest of the setup in the firmware? Are there other hardware considerations? Will one of those lights be visible under a black key? There are no other keys in front of the Ecs so I am guessing it will shine out pretty well. I think I read in the TMK documentation that controlling the brightness is an option. If it's too dim I might try installing several under different keys to all light up at the same time.
Obviously, a layer indicator LED is nonessential but I think it'd be a nice feature if I can manage it.
