How to add LEDs.

Postby gein » Wed Jun 02, 2021 16:31

Dear VKB staff

I would like to connect an additional WS2812B LED to the GFMK2 black box.
If so, what should I do?
I think it will connect to the GX12 connector labeled L-BUS.
Please tell me the pin assignment.

GX12 connector is intended to connect controllers. Using TX1, TX3 lines. WS2812 needs MOSI, Vcc, Gnd.

Look here viewtopic.php?f=25&t=5034&p=44729#p44729
SPI2 connector is not soldered by default. If you can do that, WS2812 will be yours. Software settings are described in User Guide https://disk.yandex.ru/i/fmHDZz9ph044Ww.

Hello.
Thank you for your reply.

I saw the linked image, but it doesn't seem to be what I have.
Below is an image of my Black Box.
Where is SPI2 (X8) in the linked image?

You have a late BB version, there is no such possibility for connection.

It means that additional LEDs cannot be connected.
I understand.
Thank you.
