COREi64 ha “sviluppato” due nuovi supporti per la striscia luminosa a 24 LED RGB per l’Ultimate 64 che viene installato all’interno del case C64c.
Versione ad angolo:
La sua angolazione permette alla luce dei LED RGB di uscire attraverso le feritoie di aereazione del case C64c.
Versione per montaggio su tastiera:
Questo versione si attacca alla parte posteriore della tastiera attraverso i fori presenti di fabbrica e utilizzando le viti in dotazione.
È un sistema a due pezzi, uno per il lato sinistro e uno per il lato destro.
Come per la precedente versione la luce dei LED RGB esce attraverso le feritoie di aereazione del case C64c.
Nota:
Questa versione non è completamente compatibile con il supporto per tastiera che sto utilizzando sul lato sinistro. Ho dovuto rimuovere con il seghetto un pezzo di plastica per risolvere il problema. (guarda la foto).

La strip LED RGB (APA102C) e’ una features che e’ stata aggiunta a partire dalla versione del firmware V1.0D, questa versione del firmware e’ prossima al rilascio.
Nelle foto si possono vedere due modelli diversi di KIT per il fissaggio tastiera e accessori, nNelle prime 7 foto (case trasparente) ho utilizzato il KIT venduto da PixelWizard.eu e nelle seguenti 10 foto (case stile SX-64) ho utilizzato il kit venduto da corei64.com
Ambedue i KIT fanno il loro lavoro e si integrano perfettamente con il case.
Solo una nota, ma e’ stato un mio errore, non ho letto bene la descrizione scritta sul sito, il kit venduto da corei64.com non e’ compatibile con la motherboard U64 v1.0 perche’ c’e’ l’adattatore tastiera, ho risolto abbastanza facilmnete tagliando un pezzo di plastica del supporto tastiera lato DX.
I due adesivi ULTIMATE 64 personalizzati con il proprio S/N e il Case C64C stile SX-64 sono in vendita sul sito PixelWizard.eu.
Il case C64C trasparente non e’ piu’ disponibile e proviene da un vecchia campagna su Kickstarter.
