my brand new nice!nano's pin 1.15 has a ground short

I Just received my lily58 build kit in the mail yesterday, and built it the same day. I think I received a bad nice!nano. I noticed one of my right keyboard's key column was not working and followed your well documented instructions. using this link: https://docs.typeractive.xyz/build-guides/lily58-wireless/troubleshooting...

[solved] Large battery for corne

looking to use a bigger battery for the corn wireless. It doesnt look like it would fit between the pcb and bottom fr4 plate based on the 3d builder, would i be able to fit the 750mAh battery if i got longer standoffs? if so what size standoffs would work with the 750mAh battery? Tia!...

No blue light on power cycle or reset

Left side of my keyboard, the top mounted switch broke, i am still able to move it with a knife, but no power. When I plug in to usb with the power switch in on position: Brief orange light for a few seconds, no blue. When I plug in with power switch in off position: Very short orange light, longer flashing blue light. In either case, the keyboard works while plugged in, and the right side can connect wirelessly. The left side does not respond to anything without usb plugged in, can be used plugged in, but cannot be reset, or reset to bootloader....

Nice!Nano dead after charging from USB-C port?

I built a wireless corne (nice!nano, nice!view, 6-column choc PCB with aluminum case) and I was charging the left half with USB-C to USB-C cable plugged into a wall plug. When I checked on the keyboard, the nice!view display showed a faded image and now the left half won't turn on. Tried resetting it (using the switch and the tweezers) and can't get into the bootloader. I took it apart and the battery and nice!view both work in my other wireless corne, but the nice!nano seems to be dead. Wondering if it's possible that my choice of USB-C charger killed the nice!nano? One thing that I did notice after plugging in just the bare PCB + battery + nice!nano is that the orange charging light on the nice!nano turns on but it gets pretty warm... warmer than I'd expect....

[Solved] How to charge the battery?

Is there a right way to charge the battery? I left my Corne plugged in all day connected to my computer via USB-C and the battery indicator still has not increased.

PCB keep killing Nice!Nano's pin?

I built a wireless choc corne not so long ago and one day home row on my right side just stopped working. I checked all connections with a multimeter and everything was solid. I reset the firmware to no avail. I even swapped the controller to the other half and re-flashed firmware but the issue just switched to the otherside (meaning my nice!nano was the issue). I ended up buying a new nice!nano to replace the old one but the new one is now experiencing the same issue... Any help on how to solve...

Both keyboards wont stay powered on or work when plugged in.

I have tried building two keyboards and cannot get either one to work. My desktop does not have bluetooth, so only my left windows key works when plugged in. the right keyboard doesnt seem to be powered on at all, let alone let me pair it to the left. I also have a surface pro 6 and macair. I just really want to get this working and need help.

Missing PCB pad repair

Hi there... is there any way to fix this missing / damaged pad? I damaged it myself trying to remove an LED while troubleshooting why my LEDs were not all lighting. It came off along with the LED unfortunately... I'm solder / keyboard building n00b. 😦

Loose no-solder headers

I have had the no solder headers for a while not but every once in a while either the headers for the nice nano will come out of the pcb or the nice view will come off its header. How do I make the connection stronger so this will not happen? Should I consider changing to some kind of soldered headers?

Headers

Does the no-solder hotswap for the microcontroller comes directly assemble on the pcb or i need to assemble it myself?

nice!view display customization

Looking for resources/documentation on customizing nice!view display

[RESOLVED] Reset buttons not working consistently anymore

I’ve been loading updated keymaps by flashing the firmware pretty consistently up until today. I did drop the right half of my keyboard a couple nights ago and had to reseat my nice!view and nice!nano on the solderless spring headers swapping the left and right nice!views in the process since I wanted to check if the one I dropped wasn’t turning on because of the nice!view being damaged or if something else was wrong with the right half of the keyboard. Both ended up turning on so I didn’t think much of it. Now I’m getting inconsistent responses when I double click the reset buttons while connected via USB to my computer and the drive isn’t showing up reliably. I don’t have a multimeter (nor do I know how to use one). Could I have messed up my keyboard somehow? Any suggestions for what I should check or do to get both sides working reliably again?...

Stripped round screw on Corne Aluminium case

Building a Corne (6 column). Accidentally put the circular screw instead of the flat one. Because it’s longer its gotten all the alignment wrong. The screw seems stripped so I’m having trouble getting it out. Any recommendations?

Bottom Row Not Working

Hi, Been using my wireless corne for around a month with no problems, but after leaving it alone over the weekend I came back to the bottom row and thumb keys not working on the left half. For context, this is my first build β€” so not super experienced. I’ve since swapped the nice nanos and confirmed the same behavior moved to the right half. So, seems like my boards are fine, but one of my nice nanos is not working on p1.00 and p0.11....

[SOLVED] How to name my keyboard?

Hi, I just built my first Corne keyboard thanks to typeractive.xyz! How do I rename my keyboard? I'd like it to show up as "David's Corne" in the bluetooth menu. I couldn't find any ZMK documentation of which configuration file I would need to modify and how to change the human readable name (nor any other unique identifiers for the keyboard). Any help would be appreciated!...

nice!nano not charging

I just got my 6-col corne, and I got batteries off an australian supplier (401230). I've noticed that the right side does not seem to be able to charge - left it charging last night and in the morning it was still on 0% (based on the screen). The left side is fine. Thing's I've done: - switched the battery with the other side. The left side is still fine ...

No temperature control soldering iron

Is it possible to solder the nice nano with a soldering iron that goes up to 470Β°c and a little vaseline without damaging the components?
