USB-Fusion

USB Fusion is not USB Compliant. It is designed to provide more power than what USB is designed for. Even when built correctly, your computer/keyboard is at risk of damage. You do not need to use USB Fusion to reach considerable brightness for Sol.
Parts needed:
SATA Power (5622-4100-ML)
Barrel Connector (PJ-051AH)
You can choose either or, you don't need both SATA and 5.2mm power
USB A (87583-2010BLF)
USB B (2172034-1)
LED (any 3mm, your choice of color)
Resistor (330Ohm-560Ohm for bright/regular)
USB Filter (USBDF02W5)
6A Fuse (RUEF300)
3x1 Pin Header (61300311121)
Pin Jumper (QPC02SXGN-RC)
M3 x 10mm standoff (2X)
M3 x 6mm screw (4X)
(Optional) Type C ports (TYPE-C-31-M-12) (2X)
These ports are difficult to hand-solder. If you choose to use them, they replace the USB A and B ports.
You'll want to solder the components in the following order:
1.USB Filter
2.Type C ports (optional)
3.Resistor, LED, and USB A
4.All other components should be easy to solder
5.Trim long legs off the bottom of the PCB
6.Assemble top and bottom covers with screws and standoffs
Usage:
You may have some issues during startup, like the following:
1.No power: Make sure the power selection jumper is on the correct port (Sata or 5.2mm jack)
2.You'll need to plug in the keyboard last, or the PC won't initialize USB properly.
