The 15 rev-1 boards were fabbed with the old SK6812MINI-E-012 land at D_RGB1, which is the datasheet's bottom view: a lens-up LED is mirrored on it and no rotation fixes it. This 6.8 x 5.6 mm 2-layer adapter solders onto that land and carries the SK6812MINI-HS-012 land on top, wired GND/DIN/3V3 through one via each. - generate_led_adapter.py builds the single adapter and a 4x4 mouse-bite panel (16 up) with KiCad's Python API, and asserts the bottom pads land on the old pad positions. - Silkscreen on both sides marks TOP/BOTTOM, an arrow toward USB-C, the LED pin-1 corner, and the NC pad. - DRC: 0 violations, 0 unconnected on both boards. Panel Gerbers and drill files in production/. - .gitignore: ignore .kicad_prl files in PCB subfolders too. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Alex has 10 rev-1 boards, not 5, so 20 boards need the adapter. Panel is now 4 columns x 5 rows, 47.2 x 50.0 mm. DRC still 0/0; drill counts 60 PTH (20 x 3 vias) and 150 NPTH mouse bites (25 tabs x 6). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The fab minimum of 5 panels gives 80 adapters, plenty for the 20 rev-1 boards, so the 4x5 panel isn't needed. DRC 0/0; drill counts 48 PTH and 120 NPTH. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
snips_led_adapter.zip is the archive uploaded to JLCPCB on 2026-10-14. Its copper, mask, outline and drill files match the committed Gerbers; the silkscreen differs only because the toolkit subtracts mask openings from it. The panel board and project files are KiCad's re-save from that run (same geometry: kicad-cli Gerbers are unchanged). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
The 20 rev-1 boards (10 + Alex's 10) have the old SK6812MINI-E-012 land at D_RGB1, drawn from the datasheet's bottom view, so a lens-up LED can't be fitted (see #65). This adds a small adapter that solders onto the old land and carries the SK6812MINI-HS-012 land on top.
