RGB Cables
In this section is explained how to install the RGB cables. If you don't have RGB, you can skip to the next section !
Pre-flight checks
Before installing the cables, double check...
- You installed all the diodes on the thumb cluster and plate PCBs
- If you're building with RGB, that you installed all the LEDs, the capacitors, and resistors
RGB cables - top connector
- Use the long ribbon cables
- Cut 2 * ribbons of 3 cables
- The in connector is located on top of the plate, next to the resistor and capacitor. It is circled in Red in the pictures below
- Make sure you install them on the same side as the components
- Check the pictures below to double check you are installing them on the right side
- Solder the 3-ribbon cables in

Notice in the picture below: the ribbon cables are installed on the same side as the components, on the Din pin.
RGB cables - bottom connector
The out connector is located at the bottom of the plate. It has no resistor and capacitor next to it. It is circled in Green in the pictures below. For this, use the short ribbon cables !

- Cut 2 * ribbons of 3 cables
- Use the short ribbon cables
- Solder them in the pins
- Make sure you install them on the same side as the components
Notice in the picture below: the ribbon cables are installed on the same side as the components, on the Dout pin.
Here is what the plate should look like now (if you have a newer kit, the top part will have a ribbon cable instead of the Red Black Yellow cables).
