Corne nn!v2 connection issues

Heya - I just re-flashed my nice nano v2 controllers on my corne keyboard after about 2 years of no issues, but now I'm getting a "cannot connect to device" when trying to pair to Windows 10. I did these steps: 1) cleared all the BTE profiles 2) made sure the keyboard is in BTE mode (instead of USB)...

Battery - Basic Questions

I purchased the small batteries that fit under a N!N MCU. After ~3 days, the battery on the keeb is reporting ~10%. Please let me know: What percent do the batteries ship out at? How long should I charge each half in a charging session? (Like maybe 30 min as a starting point?) What's the expected standard usage per charge for a simple wireless keyboard (I know full well that mileage will vary greatly here)? Is there a good way to see the battery percentage per half on a computer?...

A few keys are enteriing multiple letters for a single key press.

I'm not backspacing anything iini this message to hopefully show what is happening. II've used this corne for over a year without issues, so I'm hping there's just a simple fiix. It is maiinly the letter i but occassionally a few other letters wiill do the same, or wiiill enter out of sequence. Is thhere a good troubleshooting techniique? III've fallen in love with my Corne and would hate to go back to a standard layout....

Fixing the power switch circuit after pad has been lifted

Hi, the power switch on my Corne broke and I ordered a replacement. However, when desoldering the old power switch, it looks like the pad beneath the switch was lifted and broke off. I still have the new power switch, but it won’t work without the pad obviously. Is there any way to get this working again with a switch? I know the alternative is to connect the battery terminals directly to the nice! Nano board terminals, but I’d prefer to keep a switch. Please see photo....

Nice!Nano Not going into bootloader (not able to see device in the computer)

Hello, I recently purchased a Lily58 wireless with a nice!nano. However, the nano I recieved seems to be faulty. Whenever I plug it in the nano flashes however the computer doesn't recognize it as a device. The right side nice!nano functions as intended and works with my computer. How can I fix this or would I be able to get a replacement? Thanks...

nice!view socket came filled with solder in the PCB.

Hi everyone, I'm new to soldering and split keyboards to please bare with me. I recently started building my low profile corne and noticed on my right pcb that the nice!view socket was filled in with solder. I hadn't thought much of it because I wasn't familiar with the steps to install the the nice!view. I had followed the build guide off the website and completed soldering the nice!nano and the hotswap sockets. When I reached the step to install the nice!view and saw that I was supposed to place the socket on the board, I realized that this would be a problem since the solder is blocking the input for the socket (See photos). Does anyone have any tips on how to remove the solder so I can insert the nice!view socket? This is my first time soldering so I'm not to sure this is even something that can be removed. Any help is appreciated....

Soldering battery on nice nano lily58

Hi, I'm new to soldering, I don't think I have soldered the battery correctly to the nice nano but could use a confirmation please. Currently the board doesn't work wirelessly at all. I have to use a TRRS cable and then connect the keyboard via USB to my computer

Corne standoffs

In the process of building the 5 column corne. I believe I received the wrong stand offs. Or the printed case is off. Usb and power switch cannot be accessed. So just to confirm. What is the expected length of the provided standoffs?...

Ordered wrong pcb

Hello everyone, I just ordered a Mx PCB plate instead of a choc one. I was stressed because I just ruined the other board I got with the full kit because I'm not experienced with soldering and I didn't check thoroughly the order I placed. Is there a way to change the order? I already wrote an email to hello@typeractive.xyz...

Faulty view!nano

Got my keyboard and got everything set up and working well. Put the view!nano in and it would not turn on and I started to smell a burnt smell. The issue was not the board or the socket since I got two so I tested with other nice!view and things worked well on both boards. Over all I think the nice!view that I got was faulty. I can see on the ribbon cable on the back side where there is some discoloration of the pins coming out of the ribbon cable. I think this is the source of the burning smell...

Weird nice!nano issue

Out of nowhere, my right side corne split stopped working. While debugging the issue, I found out that the issue seems to be the nice!nano since when I swapped the nice!nanos between the splits, the left side stopped working. What is very strange, is that if I flash the left side uf2 file on both splits, both are working. I thought the issue was in my build files — even though both worked until today with the same build files — so I tried tried using an older version, but same issue. The one nice!nano where I flash the right side uf2 file, doesn’t work. @TyperAI any ideas why?...

Left half jumbled nice!view output

Hi, I just finished building my keyboard and the right side works as expected, showing a display of the art, battery and connection. The left half works when it comes to typing, however, it doesn't display anything (other than some random pixels). When I swap the nice!views between the halves, the right half always shows the data no matter which nice!view is plugged in. So the nice!views aren't at fault. Could you help me out please?...

No continuity between Battery +ve (of PCB) and RAW (of PCB)

I have a Corne (cherry v3.0.1) from Typeractive. I believe the Cu connection to the RAW was stripped off when I was desoldering with a solder wick. Is there a workaround which will allow me to still use the board? Or do I need to get the PCB replaced? I was wondering if I should connect the RAW/B+ on the nice!nano to the Battery +ve on the PCB directly (solder a wire to the Header in the broken RAW and the Battery connector's through-hole mounting)...

Replacing the power switch on a Corne

My wireless Corne power switch broke. The small plastic switch that slides broke off. I can still kinda toggle the switch using a knife/blade, but it's difficult to use. Is there any guidance on how I can replace the power switch?...

editing .uf2 file

hi, how would i edit the .uf2 bootloader file? i need to switch one of the pins (so that P0.09 does the same thing as P0.02) but from a brief search online (all i can do atm) i couldn’t find a web-based editor. help would be greatly appreciated!

Custom Keyboard

Hey Everyone, I am building a custom keyboard following the Caldera keyboard guide from makerworld. The one thing I am curious about is that most of my research and understanding of diodes says that they have a polarity, but the diodes that I bought from typeractive did not seem to have any identifying marks that would tell me which direction they should go. Are there diodes bi directional?

nice!view randomly died

Everything was working fine until yesterday the screen just turned off while I was working, it just shows a random static whe opened. I turned it on and off multiple times and the screen worked again, but today it happened again while I was working and the screen just wont work again no mattter how many times I turn it on and off again. I tried swapping the screens to see if it was an issue with the pcb but the screen from the left half works perfectly, what could have caused this?

Every time I power cycle or flash the left board a different set of keys works

This happens when using the firmware here or other custom firmware. With the official I was able to get all keys to work once, but it changed on reset. With other firmware, fewer keys work, on average. How can I debug and fix this? This is when using no solder parts....

column not working after charging

My corne board has worked well for about a month. I just charged the left half and when I came came back to it the screen acted kind of weird. I pressed the button and turned it off and back on. When it reconnected one column and the thumb key was no longer responsive.

Dead pin on NRF52840 board, how to remap to other pin?

Hi, I am building a Corne and am quite certain my pin 0.29 on my left half is dead (responsible for the QAZ column). I have tried running a cable from 0.29 to the switches, manually shorting them, and have checked that all connections are correct. I saw that there are a few unused pins that I think I could use to substitute 0.29 using a wire. How do I remap pin 0.29 to something else in my config?...
