Does anyone have a working bongo cat firmware for the tidbit? I've tried compiling a few now and none of them have even made the oled light up. I can compile it myself, just need working code. Oh just saw the thing about firmware not belonging here, sorry...

Duncan_Grey - I would like the option of using ...

I would like the option of using the tidbit as a sort of macro pad/midi controller for music production, along with being a typical numpad. What this means is that I'd like to utilize each space that a switch could exist, in a grid, rather than having the double sized 0, +, and enter keys. That said, it would be nice to be able to swap out the keycaps for the larger keycaps, when I want to use it as a typical numpad. My question is this: is it possible from a software standpoint? Could I disable a key in the software, so that I could put the double sized 0 key on two switches, but only register 1 keypress? Would it also be possible to swap between modes quickly, or would I have to edit things in qmk every time?...

Duncan_Grey - Hi, noob here. I have a couple qu...

Hi, noob here. I have a couple questions, apologies if I should be posting these separately. I'm thinking about buying a nibble 65 and a tidbit to go along with it. Do I need to buy a bit-c for each? Also, what's the difference between the bit-c and the pro? And the other question might defeat the purpose of owning one of these, but is there a way to get these things pre assembled? As fun and useful as it sounds to learn how to solder, I'd need to buy a whole soldering kit and dedicate however long to learning how to use it. Really I just like the layout of this keyboard...

hi, i just finished today my nibble keyboard and now im trying to change the keymap from us to germany. ive changed the keymap already in via and loaded the updated layout on to my keyboard but the keymap seems to be still the old one :/

Is the rotary encoder supposed to interfere with the plate going on? I can't get the plate on without an amount of force that I suspect would break the plate. The encoder is in the top right position. I checked and the encoder works fine so I don't think I've installed it wrong. Would anything bad happen if I just filed the plate down? I need maybe half an mm more of clearance

hi guys, is it possible to rotate the bongo cat animation by 180 degrees?

@jay | nullbits I have been having trouble entering into bootloader mode on my Nibble and was hoping you could help. Whenever I hit the physical reset button while I have the QMK toolbox open I hear the keyboard disconnecting and connecting on windows, I see it too on the console. But it does not go into flashing mode. I have tried shorting it on the back of the pcb, I have tried every combination of keypresses I could find online, but no luck as of yet. I am starting to read online that it coul...

Having some trouble with the underglow leds, only some of them light up, but the keyboard is otherwise fully functional.
Solution:
wasn't a problem with the other leds, was a problem with the last working one up the chain. AFter digging around on the forum i found some info on how they communicate, and it wasn't a power issue, but the data bus

I started soldering the mill max hot swap sockets but I did a really bad job and a lot of them are kind of crooked, also because of the tape I used, some of them have tape inside them. Another issue is all the tape residue left on the board from said tape. Is it safe to desolder them with wick and just use new sockets? And what can I use to clean the PCB board from the tape residue?...

Alright so I have a few issues with my snap

Skoknor - hey folks, I'm in the middle of a nib...

hey folks, I'm in the middle of a nibble65 build and have soldered everything in, underglow LED's are all glowing red and the big LED is lit blue. At current I have the oled_bongocat flashed and have rerouted the OLED with Kynar but can't get it to respond, have tried flashing and reflashing with different firm but nothing's changed, if I mess with the wiring on the OLED too much the whole board disconnects and LED's go out. me lost help pls 😦...
Solution:
First, send pics. Second, what's Kynar? Third, if messing with things causes the LEDs to go out, it sounds like there's a short somewhere and the wiring to the OLED is bad.
