Introduction

Note: this post will be updated. As such it shall be considered work in progress. A change log is shown at the end.
Last change 2025.01.01 (yyyy.mm.dd)

The LEDs plate and overlay are considered priority 4, being 0 the highest priority.
As such, at this stage it is important to record constraints that would affect specifications of other components.

They are actually two components:
  • The underlying LEDs PCB - interfacing the controller and the case
  • The overlay - interfacing the case and the LEDs PCB

Constraints
  • Compatibility with the controller interface
  • Interface to the controller.

Alternatives to be considered Built-in/integrated controlled - impacts the controller and the case. It may increase cost as the controller requires 4 layer PCB while the sensing PCB can used 2
  • In case that an OLED is installed the LEDs are not required.

2025.01.01 - initial version
2025.01.01 - updates to align to overall project concept (e.g. priorities, constraints, options added)
