Accessories

These pieces are used to help to connect the different led boards between each other.


Straight boards

All these boards are ready to be use out of the box.

Foled-S-145

This board is made from one Foled-S-49 and two Foled-S-48 by soldering Foled-FB-3P between each board.

Foled-S-144

This board is made from three Foled-S-48 by soldering Foled-FB-3P between each board.

Foled-S-120

This board is made from two Foled-S-48 and one Foled-S-24 by soldering Foled-FB-3P between each board.

Foled-S-96

This board is made from two Foled-S-48 by soldering Foled-FB-3P between them.


Curve boards

These pieces need to be assembled into sets by soldering the accessories which will be described below. They can be identified by their name at the beginning and end of the board.

There is a total of 10 unique pieces:

  1. Foled-C1-96
  2. Foled-C2-85
  3. Foled-C3-83
  4. Foled-C4-64
  5. Foled-C5-88
  6. Foled-C6-64
  7. Foled-D1-62
  8. Foled-D2-58
  9. Foled-D3-96
  10. Foled-D4-96

Set C6, C5 and C4

This process shows how to connect these three led boards together to make one single piece.

Step 1 (piece Foled-C4-64)

Solder one cable on each pad (5V: red cable, DO: white cable, GND: black cable) pointing to the inside of the board as it shows the blue arrow.

Step 2 (piece Foled-C6-64)

Solder one cable on each pad (5V: red cable, DI: white cable, GND: black cable) pointing to the inside of the board as it shows the blue arrow.

Step 3 (piece Foled-C5-88)

Solder Foled-FB-3P connector board to both sides of the led board

Note: make sure Foled-FB-3P connector board is aligned to the half part of each pad as it shows in the drawing above.

Step 4

Connect one end of C5-88 (output) to the input of C4-64 by soldering it to the other part of Foled-FB-3P connector as shows in the diagram below:

Step 5

Connect the other end of C5-88 (input) to the output of C6-64 (same process as above). After this process is completed there should be one big piece like this drawing, with cables at both ends and two Foled-FB-3P (FPS) connector boards.

Note. – if for assembly reasons is better to have the three pieces separated, then the FPS connector board can be replaced by cables.


Set C2 and C3

This process shows how to connect these two led boards together to make one single piece.

Step 1 (piece Foled-C2-85)

Solder one cable on each pad (5V: red cable, DO: white cable, GND: black cable) pointing to the inside of the board as it shows the blue arrow.

Step 2 (piece Foled-C3-83)

Solder one cable on each pad (5V: red cable, DI: white cable, GND: black cable) pointing to the inside of the board as it shows the blue arrow.

Step 3

Connect one end of C2-85 (output) to the input of C3-83  by soldering it to the other part of Foled-FB-3P connector as shows in the diagram below:

After this process is completed there should be one big piece like this drawing, with cables at both ends and one Foled-FB-3P (FPS) connector board in the middle of the two led boards.



C1-96 (Single piece)

Solder one cable on each pad (5V: red cable, DI/DO: white cable, GND: black cable) pointing to the inside of the board as it shows the blue arrow. Cables should be soldered in both ends of the led board.


Set D3 and D4

This process shows how to connect these two led boards together to make one single piece.

Step 1 (piece Foled-D3-96)

Solder one cable on each pad (5V: red cable, DI: white cable, GND: black cable) pointing to the inside of the board as it shows the blue arrow.

Step 2 (piece Foled-D4-96)

Solder one cable on each pad (5V: red cable, DO: white cable, GND: black cable) pointing to the inside of the board as it shows the blue arrow.

Step 3

Connect one end of D3-96 (output) to the input of D4-96 by soldering it to the other part of Foled-FB-3P connector as shows in the diagram below:

After this process is completed there should be one big piece like this drawing, with cables at both ends and one Foled-FB-3P (FPS) connector board in the middle of the two led boards.


Set D1 and D2

This process shows how to connect these two led boards together to make one single piece.

Step 1 (piece Foled-D1-62)

Solder one cable on each pad (5V: red cable, DI: white cable, GND: black cable) pointing to the inside of the board as it shows the blue arrow.

Step 2 (piece Foled-D2-58)

Solder one cable on each pad (5V: red cable, DO: white cable, GND: black cable) pointing to the inside of the board as it shows the blue arrow.

Step 3

Connect one end of D1-62 (output) to the input of D2-58 by soldering it to the other part of Foled-FB-3P connector as shows in the diagram below:

After this process is completed there should be one big piece like this drawing, with cables at both ends and one Foled-FB-3P(FPS) connector board at the middle of the two led boards.


Final Assembly

Once all the sets and single pieces are ready. There is only one final process to be done which is to install the pieces as described on this drawing:

It is very important that each Set is placed in the right position of the board to fit properly the harness assembly assistant board to every inch of it.

Note: Each board has an input and output, so it is crucial to make sure that when using Foled-SC-3P to connect the boards, their output and input are connected, same as ground to ground and 5V to 5V to guarantee proper and safe operation of the harness assembly assistant board.
