RGB Underglow Strip on the Zeal60: A Guide

A. Connecting the strip

You might find the full PCB image helpful. Ignore the red boxes!

  1. Connect V+ to the receiving end of the thermistor labeled F1; connect GND to the board's GND pin. (Avoid connecting +V to the board's +5V pin - you will likely overload the thermistor, and you will limit your maximum brightness.)

Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy.
