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:
- You can choose either or, you don't need both SATA and 5.2mm power
- 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.
