DIY keyboard: How to make aerial wiring with LED prototype keyboard type-a

Required materials

keyboard

Keyboard case

keyboard

Key switches

keyboard

Keycaps

keyboard

Promicro

keyboard

Heat-resistant crosslinked vinyl insulated wire / insulated enamel wire

keyboard

Rectifier diode / switching diode

keyboard

3mm bullet type LED diode

・Soldering iron
・Solder

↓

How to assemble

keyboard

Disassemble the key switch and insert the LED diode. A 3mm bullet-shaped LED fits nicely

↓

keyboard keyboard

After inserting the LED diode, replace the key switch. Make this 18 pieces

↓

keyboard

Refer to the image and assign the key switch with LED to the yellow part and the other key switches to the white part to fit the keyboard frame.

↓

keyboard

Insert your favorite key switch into the keyboard case

↓

keyboard

Solder the rectifier diode as shown in the image with reference to the drawing.

↓

keyboard

The direction of the rectifier diode is (-) → (+). Be sure to unify the orientation and solder in the same way as the drawing.

↓

keyboard

Solder the vertical lines. It doesn't matter what method or material you use as long as the horizontal black line and the vertical red line are insulated.

This video uses insulated enamel wire. This insulating enamel wire is energized by scraping or burning off the insulating coating.

Use a soldering iron to burn off the connection part of the key switch so that only the key switch part is energized.

keyboard

Refer to the image and solder the plus and minus of the LED diode with an insulating wire. Make sure that the plus and minus are not energized
