    Awesome. I'm working on a stm32-based low profile keyboard with almost every add-ons it can handle (oled, rot-encoder, ws2812 led, external eeprom).
    The aim is to get as slim as possible, with ks-27 switch for keycap compatibility, so the stab mounting will be weird. My propotype is on its way from jlcpcb. I'm planning to post devlog video on youtube and share what I learned

    How do you drive many LEDs from a USB port? I have 92 SK6812 Mini-E LEDs on my keyboard, and currently I'm just trying to see if running them at low power is bright enough to fit within the limtis of a USB port.
    I'm also thinking I can plug into a Thunderbolt 4 port for mor power, or maybe do something in the software to stagger the PWM so that only half of them are on at a time.

    • @CasualCodersOfficial
      @CasualCodersOfficial  Před 6 dny +1

      I just drive mine (123) at a low brightness setting. Modern LEDs are CRAZY bright. Keep in mind that most LED lightbulbs equivalent to a 60 Watt incandescent are only 4-5 watts. You can get up to 3A at ~5v from a USB Port, depending on where it comes from. Or you could use an external (isolated) power supply to provide auxiliary power, though you'll want to do your own investigation to avoid damaging anything from backfed power.

      We have sections of a part 2 filmed and edited, though we got busy with the custom ASIC video we just posted.
