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?...

Desoldering gone wrong

The reset and Power switch was broken, tried to desolder it but I also pulled out the contacts of the board (red circels). The keyboard still works, and the reset function also works by short-circuiting the two remaining contacts. So it’s still possible to flash. I currently don’t have a spare power button. Is there any chance to repair at least the power button? Sorry for the blurry picture, I hope it’s clear enough....

Pairing Corne Wireless

How do I pair the Corne Wireless to my computer?

Top row on left side of Corne not working

Hey! Recently purchased and put together a corne kit. Flashed the firmware without issues, but the top row on the left side doesn't seem to be registering any keypresses. I'm using the no-solder headers, and have a nice!nano and nice!view on each side.

Bluetooth died; reflashing solved for now

Hi! I just had a strange thing happen with my Corne—Bluetooth totally died. The batteries for both halves were both at 100%, but the only way I could use the board was to plug the left side in via USB-C. I tried a bunch of stuff, resetting, turning on-off, trying other devices which I had paired the board with on other BT slots, using the BT-CLR key on the board and trying to restart the pairing process, but it was definitely the board and not my Mac; no other device saw it either. In the end, what solved it was reflashing the board from my latest firmware. Then it showed up immediately....

Bluetooth Issues with Mac

choc socket broke free from pcb during assembly

The socket disconnected from the pcb during assembly. Is there any repair possible?

ZMK not flashing new firmware.

I used the ZMK studio default firmware initially but wanted to include macros so i used a repo off the documentation. Received this error "The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “corne_left nice_view_adapter nice_view-nice_nano_v2-zmk.uf2” can’t be read or written. (Error code -36)". It seems like the behaviors are now in ZMK Studio but not the actial keymap. Is there a way to get this to work so i dont have to keep making changes in zmk studio and have the saved keymap file in github be my layout?...

Wrong display cover

Hi, I ordered and just received a Corne with Mx switches, but the display cover does not look like "Clear Acrylic". I expected a transparent cover tbh. Is that OK?

USB-C connection poor

I have recently ordered and built a lily58 with the no-solder hotswap and nice!nano controllers. I have not had any issues with the board until recently. The T and G keys on the left half are unresponsive or input twice unless my USB connection is plugged in a certain angle with a certain amount of pressure. I am constantly required to push the cable into the microcontroller (every 10 seconds) or else I cannot get input from the T or G key. The rest of the left half works fine

do I need to resolder these connectors? are they bridged?

First time soldering, the first set I did ended up pretty messy (the next three went OK). It looks like some pins are bridged, will it cause issues? do I need to fix them somehow? or am I over-worrying? thanks in advance, and sorry for bad photo quality, was the best I could get my phone to focus on them...

Home row stopped working on left side Corne/poor battery life

Good afternoon, I built a wireless choc Corne a few months ago, with a premium case, solderless headers, and nice!views, and have been greatly enjoying it, with one minor complaint--the battery life on the left half has been somewhat poor. I could usually get around 2-3 days of heavy use out of it before needing to charge. So, less than the ZMK power profiler states, but also long enough to manage. Unfortunately, after finishing a recent charge, I attempted to use the keyboard again and noticed that the home row on the left side no longer works. I disassembled the board to ensure that all of the header pins were still seated/flush with the PCB, and they were. Upon reassembly, the row still did not work. I understand from the diagram on this troubleshooting page that the corresponding pin is P0.24. There does not appear to be anything visibly wrong with the pin, as far as I can tell , and I do not have a multimeter to test it. There are also no visible shorts on the diodes/back of the PCB, as far as I can tell. ...

Right split home row stopped working

Hello, guys. Last night the home row of my right split stopped working all of a sudden (while the keyboard was charging). This morning I started troubleshooting, and while checking the nice!nanos, I noticed they both have a red line on the right side on the usb port, as seen in the attached image. I switched the nice!nanos between boards to check if the board or the nice!nano is the problem and the culprit seems to be the nice!nano. Are those red lines normal or do they indicate a problem?...

NiceNano Pins Dying

Hey, I am just wondering if it is just me or do the pins for your NiceNanos also break so often. I have 4 NiceNanos now and on three of them 1 pin is dead. On 2 of them its pin 002 and on the other one its on 113 resulting on one column not working. The last now broke after less than 2 months of use. Could it be that I do something wrong? other that that I love my corne. Here my graveyard 😦...
