Hello,

I’m building my first keyboard (a dumbpad), and I have a basic question which should be easy to solve when you know how to do it.

I’ve choosen to socket the microcontroller (in case of error, bad choice…) but I have now a question for putting the screen above: what kind of header should I use ? Is there high profile header or should I stack multiples headers ?

What would you use for this ?

    Thanks for taking your time and your remarks !

    The dumbpad requires the controller to be facing up. The PCB helps because the pinout is printed on the board, and I’ve double checked the “GND” pins with the square hole on the controller. I’ve already plugged the controller and test the reset button: everything worked fine !

    Thanks for your video ! I will see if I can keep some diode legs as male pin the screen.
