Soldering
Some notes on soldering.
Diodes
Section titled “Diodes”Diodes are unidirectional, and soldering them in the incorrect direction can cause the keyboard to malfunction. Please take note of which side is the anode (+) and which side is the cathode (-).
The cathode side of the diode is marked with lines, while the anode side does not have any markings. On the PCB, there is also a line indicating the cathode side. Please solder each diode accordingly, following its polarity mark on the PCB.
