Plate for the viper or eagle keyboard

This plate uses 8 rgb leds to replace the indicator leds on the original viper/eagle pcb.

Two TM1812 were used to drive those leds. The protocol of TM1812 was almost the same as the WS2812 family, thus it's easy to integrate with commonly avaibly GH60 boards such as the DP60.
