Can I use any different pair of pcbs?

I had ordered two spare corne choc PCBs. Do I have to use the pair together, or can I just rebuild the new left PCB and keep my working right PCB? Thanks in advance.

Screws too short to mount board into case?

Just assembled my Lily58 board today and as I was doing the install into the case I found that the stands offs and screws I received were too short to reach each other once everything was stacked into the case.
Have I done something obviously wrong here or are they too short?...

Left NiceView not coming on or occasionally does briefly, key columns not responding

Hi! Order TA15505 First Corne build and frankly, first soldering in years. I was using an old soldering iron with no temp control. Have one now for any repair work and some desoldering wick. From previous help here I’ve gathered issue is with shorts or pins not soldered well. I’ve tried to clean up a couple but not sure if it’s on to trace on board. Any observations or suggestions? Here are some photos of the soldering work (looks a tad sloppy to me). The right board came out fine: display, all keys....

How do I reflash my my Corne with NiceNanov2's?

I flashed my board with the default keymappings but need to change things around. How do I go about re-flashing my board?

Right board not showing up

trying to boot up the corne for the first time, got the uf2 file for the left side to work, but when I tried to do the same with the right side it gave an error saying the file wasn't readable, and now it doesn't recognize the board

notsoNice!Nano, not responsive and showing orange led when connected to usb power.

I ordered a corne kit with 2 nicenanos and 2 niceview which arrived yesterday. Soldered everything at the same temp and amount of solder. 1 nice!nano is functioning fine and both nice!views are functioning fine when on the same board as the working nice!nano. However the other nice!nano's does not show as a usb device when connected to computer (tested multiple computers and OS). When it is connected by usb, only the orange led shows, no blue led and no flashing of any kind. just the solid orange led. I have tried bridging the RST & GND pins to force reset but got no response. Both functioning nice!views do not show anything on the board. Not even the OLED static you can see on a nice!view connected to an un-flashed board. I have resoldered pins to eliminate the possibility of a dry solder joint. Did I get a dead board? I have a lot of experience with soldering and these kinds of projects and the other nice!nano that was soldered the same way is fine....

Lily58 w/ No-Solder - right side doesn't work

I've been troubleshooting the right side of my Lily58 build for two days but can't get it working. I've tried swapping the nice!nano, no-solder headers, and batteries between the left and right sides, but the issue persists. I even rebuilt everything from scratch and reflashed multiple time, both with my own ZMK layout and the default firmware from the Typeractive site. The left side works fine, but the right side remains unresponsive. I'm out of ideas and would really appreciate any help. Thank...

Bluetooth Connection Unstable

Hello, I've been facing repeated issues with bluetooth connection stability on my Corne and my PC. This is only on my PC, and works fine on my macbook. I've tried a multitude of solutions, some of which work for a little, but then I run into the same problems. I've tried: - Setting CONFIG_ZMK_BLE_EXPERIMENTAL_CONN=y and CONFIG_BT_CTLR_TX_PWR_PLUS_8=y. These improved things for a few days, but now I'm facing some of the same issues. - Replacing my bluetooth antenna. I use a third party external wifi/bluetooth antenna on my PC, as I have an ITX motherboard that doesn't have one built in. I replaced my old one which had seemed to fix the problem for a few months, but now I'm facing the same problems....

Battery on left side not charging.

Hello guys! Recently I bought the Lily58. I'm very happy with it! But I noticed that the left side it's not charging. No idea why tbh. At the beggining I thought it could be the battery. But now I don't think so anymore. I bought new batteries and to confirm that one side charges, I switch the batteries from side to side and it's working fine in the right side. I also noticed that the orange light (when it's charging) it's visible only on the right side. When I connect the cable in the left side the orange light blink 1 times and turn off. The keyboard works with the cable but not charging any % of battery. Any idea what could happen? Btw, I'm um using pins that are not solded to the board, so I think I have not broken anything by mistake 😆 Any idea what could be the issue?...

Corne 6 Column left side has only some keys working

Hey all. Running a 6 coloumn with the nice!nano. Was having bluetooth connectivity issues the last couple days. Went through some trouble shooting and got it fixed, including flashing new bootloader via adafruit, and a refreshing the firmware. Got the bluetooth fixed but now randomly only the keys that are in the squares on the left side of the keyboard are working. This is a presodered board with the no solder pins for the controllers. Running on MacOS

Corne 6 with premium case - row no longer works after charging

Hello! After reading through the posts, I believe I'm also experiencing the ESD issue when charging my Corne keyboard with the premium case. This has happened to me twice on the left half of my Corne, with two different nice!nano controllers. The first time, the middle row stopped working, and the second time, it was the bottom row. I've debugged the issue using a multimeter and confirmed there is continuity between the switches and the pins. I also tried shorting the offending row pin with a few column pins, but nothing registered. In both instances, the row stopped working immediately after I disconnected the USB cable....

Charging cable requirement

Hi there, is there any requirement for the charging cable when charging a “nice!nano plus nice!view” corne? I came from a Logitech MX keys Mini keyboard, and wondering is it okay to use its charging cable to charge my corne? Would this cause some issues the corne in the long run? Thank you very much for your help!...

Corne 6 Column with premium case has random delay in communicating the key press to the computer

No solder spring header installation

Hi guys, I’m building my first ever corne from Typeractive, feeling really excited now! I was reading the installation guide of nice!nano from https://docs.typeractive.xyz/build-guides/corne-wireless/nice-nano. It says for No-Solder Hotswap headers, I only need to insert them into the top of PCB, but since there are two ends of a solderless header and the pins on each end has pretty much the same length. I am not sure which end should be attached to PCB? ...

ZMK studio is detecting my Corne 6col using USB but it is not showing as a drive so I can update the firmware that I have built. Any guidance on figuring out the problem?
