NeoKey I2C Address
One of the NeoKeys will need an I2C address.
Bridge the A0 pads on the NeoKey PCB using a blob of solder.
Daisy Chain NeoKeys
Use a short STEMMA QT cable to connect the two NeoKey PCBs together.
Connect a longer STEMMA QT cable to the NeoKey with the A0 I2C address.
Solder NeoPixel Stick Wires
Connect the three wires to the GND, DIN and 5VDC pads on the NeoPixel stick.
Rotary Encoder I2C Addresses
Two of the three rotary encoders will need to be assigned special I2C addresses by bridging the jumpers with a blob of solder.
- 1st Rotary Encoder no I2C Address
- 2nd Rotary Encoder A1 I2C Address
- 3rd Rotary Encoder A0 I2C Address
Soldering Ground Wire
Connect the short wire and black wire from the 2-pin PicoBlade socket cable to the cathode (– LED) terminal.
Soldering Common
Connect the short wire and black wire from the 2-pin JST PH socket cable to the common (C1) terminal.
Soldering LED Wire
Connect the red wire from the 2-pin PicoBlade socket cable to the anode (+ LED) terminal.
Soldering NC Pin
Connect the red wire from the 2-pin JST PH socket cable to the normal closed (NC1) terminal.
Solder JST plug to Battery Holder
Cut the stock 2.1mm barrel jack from the 3x AA battery holder.
Solder the 2-pin JST female cable to the power cable.
Ensure the polarity of the wires are correct.
Testing On/Off Button with Feather
Install AA batteries into the battery holder.
Plug the battery holder into the Feather.
Use the On/Off Button to power the Feather to test the circuit.
Wires for SPST Switch
Use the ribbon cable to create two wires.
- Short Wire 2.5in / 6.35 cm long
- Longer Wire 8in / 20.3 cm long
Solder Wires
Attach the short wire to one of the terminals (not the middle).
Attach the longer wire to the middle terminal.
Wires for DPDT Switch
Use ribbon cable to create two sets of 2-pin wires that are 8 inches / 20.3 cm in length.
Soldering wires to DPDT Switch
Attach the first 2-pin cable to one of the terminals that isn't the middle.
Attach the second 2-pin cable to the middle terminal.
Connect DPDT Switch to TRRS
The wires from the DPDT switch will be soldered to the pins on the TRRS breakout.
Solder Wires to TRRS
Attach one wire from the 2-pin cable to the Left labeled pin.
Attach one wire from the other 2-pin cable to the Ring labeled pin.
Solder Wires to Micro Switches
Use the ribbon cable to great four wires.
- 2x Long Wires 6.5 inches / 16.5 cm
- 2x Short Wires 2.5 inches / 6.35 cm
Use the short wires to share the COM and NO connections across the two switches.
Connect the longer wires to the switches COM and NO terminals.
