1x 40pin male header

Akruvia Indiv PCB

Akruvia Indiv Dimensions:

ASSEMBLY STEPS:

STEP 1:
Solder the 1N4148 diode on D1.

STEP 2:
Solder the SK6812Mini-E on D2.

STEP 3:
Solder the Kailh Choc v1 hot swap socket.

STEP 4:
Cut 2x 5pin male header from the 1x 40 pin male header.

Then solder the 2x 5pin male header.

Pinout (Pins with the same label are connected internally):

Pins:
V – Vcc of the SK6812Mini-E (Ideally 5v)
G – Gnd of the SK6812Mini-E
I – DIN of the SK6812Mini-E (Ideally 5v logic level, you can use a logic shifter)
O- DOUT of the SK6812Mini-E
A – the Kailh Choc v1 switch in series on the anode of the 1N4148 diode
C – the cathode of the 1N4148 diode

Switch-Diode internal connection:

Example Usage:

//Arduino example snippet for an Akruvia Indiv direct input connection
//switchPin is the MicrocontrollerPinInputPullup on the illustration
pinMode(switchPin, INPUT_PULLUP);

if(!digitalRead(switchPin)){
	//code here
}

Notes:

• You can use WS2812 libraries with SK6812
• Don’t forget that the pins with the same label is internally connected so you can substitute any connection if they have the same label
