ZeroThePrototype - Hello all! Love the discord ...
Hello all! Love the discord and the cool projects yall have. I'm building tidbit specifically to learn basic solder skills and keep moving forward.
Looking at the solder guide and reading all the way through the guide helped me understand that I had too much solder on the led pads. I removed enough from the top and bottom led outside edges that the acrylic spacer sits flush on the board. So that was very educational both in heat control and using desoldrr wick for the first time.
Is it strongly recommended that I reduce the solder amoint on the rest of the joints as well? ...

Good evening everyone. First of all let me say I am a big fan of the discord server. You guys are rockstars. With that being said, I'm reaching out because I've been having an issue with my tidbit build. The first time I tried building it, after flashing my Bit-C PRO (RP2040) it would only register 9 and * (no backlights). Then after many reflashes it started registering 9, * and 7 (no backlights) Okay, no problem, I prolly damaged the PCB and the BIT-C Pro, (because I'm a noob) so I decided to buy a new tidbit kit and 2 Bit C Pros. That way when I solder, I only do whats necessary and less margin for error. Got the RP2040s first in the mail and was able to replicate the errors of my first Bit-C Pro with a brand new chip. I then got the new PCB kit and went to town, carefully soldering only what was necessary, so no backlights and no jack. I went to flash the second newest chip and... nothing... okay, maybe I fried the second chip when I tested it on the first tidbit build. So I opened the brand new chip, flashed it with nullbitsco_snap_rp2040_via.uf2, and even though my mac didn't recognize ANY of the keys being pressed, at least the via website was able to show me I had a tidbit present.
I tried all the tidbit firmwares, to include: the default one, oled and via and anything that said tidbit. I tested the numpad on both linux and mac (arm m2, my main). I seriously dont know what could be. I attached some pictures for ya'll. Thanks in advanced....

Hey, I am having problems wiring up and flashing my sick 68 keyboard. This is my first project with a microcontroller so I dont know a whole lot. I am wondering which pins I am able to use on the Bit-C that I have. Also, how will these pins correlate to the examples that are on other forms and videos.

I'm replacing an Elite-C with a Bit-C, but when I go to flash it, it says the chip is already blank - is there something I should be doing first that I'm forgetting? I set the bootloader to dfu, like the amazon page had mentioned (and like the elite-c had before it)
