Description
The polycarbonate light pipe (Bivar SLP3-150-100-F) used for the RGB LED in rev2 has a protrusion for the "lens" that does not fit through the hole in the back of the KX2's case. The light pipe is too high above the PCB.
Ideas:
- Find another light pipe that fits
- Go back to right angle LED from rev1 and stick a simple flat piece of semi-opaque plastic to the inside of the hole
- Use a THT LED
- Elecraft seems to be using a 3 mm THT LED on the KXIBC2, but RGB LEDs only seem to come in 5 mm versions, which would stick out quite far
- 3D print something? (does not conduct light so well...)
