## Replacement LED PCBs
##Replacement LED PCBs
Wacca LEDs are notorious for being burnt out, you've likely received your machine in a state where some panels are not getting color data, are dim, or are straight up not lit up. This is partly due to the design of WS2812.
There's two good options for reproducing a better version
1) Isola has a WS2813 design which can be just popped into your touch controller without any issue (it will however, look brighter than the 2812's so consider a full swap) https://github.com/mnm-isola/wacca_ws2813
Note that at the time of writing, the most recent revision's gerbers are actually the previous revision. I would recommend downloading the project from https://github.com/mnm-isola/wacca_ws2813/tree/main/wacca_ws2813_rev20220814 and opening it in kicad and making your own gerber. Detailed instructions below.
2) Speedy labs is selling their revision of the PCB https://www.speedylabs.us/product/wacca-ws2813-led-pcb/ you'll need 60 of them to replace all your touch units. There is a europe equivalent vendor [TODO]

As a sidenote, it would be interesting to see someone make a APA102 variant of the LED PCBs on an ASC.

1) Clone Isola's repo or download the ZIP from the Code button https://github.com/mnm-isola/wacca_ws2813. wacca_ws2813_rev20221021 is the revision we want (the main difference is that the capacitor at C9 is SMD instead of THT. if you need THT, the previous August revision will do just fine)
2) Download KiCad https://www.kicad.org/download/
3) Open wacca_ws2813.kicab_pcb

If someone has a cool wacca related silkscreen, please give. Maybe one of each navigator.

Now that your PCBs are fabricating, it's time to order the parts you'll need.
https://www.lcsc.com/ is the recommended shop for these, they ship right out of shenzhen and it's quite quick, considering.
