Unable to reset the board

Hi! I just finished building my first Corne today, and I'm having flashing issues. I followed the steps in Joe's helpful walkthrough video: connected the left board to my laptop, dragged the left .u2f file onto it, disconnected, and did the same for the right-hand side. But something went wrong somewhere. When I flashed the left side, the nice!view display started to function properly: it showed the battery level, the layers, etc. When I flashed the right side, the nice!view remained blank. I wasn't sure whether it was supposed to display something already, so I went ahead and paired the two halves to one another and to my computer. The left side functions well. The right side functions poorly: the top and bottom row keys don't work (middle row works fine), and the screen still didn't turn on. I then tried resetting both sides and starting from scratch. The reset button on the right side seems to work. But on the left side, it seems to do nothing. I've pressed it several times (including double presses) and the screen remains on, the board remains connected to my laptop, and it continues to work fine. I've pressed the reset button both while the board was wired to the laptop and while it wasn't, and both while it was on and off. In no case am I able to get the board to show up as an external device for me to flash....

How to add more layouts to modify in ZMK? **Studio

Preferably without overriding the existing layout

Bluetooth Connection

Hey everyone, Even though I have my Corne v3 for a while now my nice!view just got here yesterday. I installed it, flashed with the firmware but now I am having trouble pairing it. I did not make any changes from the defalt configs on the typeractive website. How do I go about connecting it to Windows and Mac? How do I put it on discovery mode? On Windows, my bluetooth connections available do not display the corne (haven't tried on mac yet)...

PCB won't fit inside the case

Hi, all. I have an issue with the installation of the PCB into the casing. Now, I might have missed something, but it appears to me that the little metal standoffs that get screwed into the casing are a little too high. When I screw the standoffs and try to mount the PCB, it doesn't fit well.
I've followed the tutorial and have first connected the PCB with the 3D printed net where the switches get inserted into (I don't know how I should refer to this part) and have created a single piece with the PCB, the net and the switches. But when I try to insert that into the casing, the standoffs go through the PCB, not through the net (as they should) but then the ports on the PCB do not align with the holes on the casing and the PCB stands crooked because the switch is not aligned and is pulling it to the side. Below I've attached pictures of how the PCB is aligned in the casing. How the usb connector aligns, and the dimensions od the standoffs....

Aluminium case bottom panel model

Hi, I would like to request model of bottom panel for aluminium case, as I am willing to create mode for bigger battery integrated into it. https://typeractive.xyz/products/corne-wireless-premium-aluminum-case?srsltid=AfmBOopZ_ORXA1GhbNDyjHRmRCiqQ0Xmmn64mHaP3y6cpIFvXvGQuw1x...

5col Corne Firmware/Connectivity issues

Just finished building a 5col corne with the no solder header. I plugged in the left side, and dragged the firmware on (first I accidentally used the 6col, when I turned the keyboard on I got nothing). When I switched to the 5col firmware, only one key is working. Now, unfortunately, when I connect it to my computer, I can't get it to go into bootloader mode. Double tapping the reset key doesn't cause it to show up as a drive on my computer. I also tried with the right side, loaded the 5col default firmware, and the keyboard wouldn't function, but now it's having the same bootloader issue. What am I missing here?...

Batteries won't charge

Batteries on both sides won't charge. The display on the nano indicates that it thinks it's being charged, and the power switch is on, but nothing happens. At first I thought the problem was the knock-off batteries I bought, so I ordered the proper ones from AliExpress that typeractive recommended, and they took a while to ship so I only just got them a week ago. But they both have the same problem! So the problem can't be the batteries, but is board related. Everything looks soldered properly, so I do know what to try next. Someone suggested that the charging circuits might be shorted, but how would that have happened to BOTH boards?...

Cirque trackpad support

I've seen several questions around adding a track pad (such as cirque). With zmk recently officially support mouse emulation https://zmk.dev/docs/keymaps/behaviors/mouse-emulation. Is it possible to use the pins for nice!view and connect to a cirque with i2c? Have anybody done any experiments on this? I'll be perfect to have that add on for a full keyboard and mouse combo....

Left side not working

My left side stopped working maybe a month ago. I recently bought a new PCB for it as I couldn't get it working. I'm still having this issue of the left side not working. Not sure where to go from here.

Hello, I just bought a corne keyboard, do you know where or how I can get an invoice from typeractive ? I received my order details by email but not an invoice....

Nice!Nano suddenly partially working

Hey all, I have Typeractive's choc keyboard with nice!nanos installed. I did initial setup and flashed in my firmware and everything was fine. I recently got the aluminum case and moved them from the 3d printed case into the aluminum one. After a few weeks of use the keyboard randomly disconnected then reconnected, I was using USB when this happened. The keyboard reconnected but something had gone weird. Some keys stopped working entirely and some keys started to send multiple keystrokes, for example, pressing the key b would input qwf. There was even some weird command the keyboard sent the OS that changed how most inputs were functioning, even for other keyboards in the system. I tried re-flashing, and a fully new build but all the problems persisted through the reflash. I assumed something with the microcontroller or shield had shorted or something. So I ordered another board and microcontrollers. I assembled the build back in the aluminum case and within a few weeks that board repeated the behavior of the previous one. Am I missing something? Any thoughts as to how to fremedly this?...

Reset switch broke on corne PCB - is this the right part to replace?

While reassembling my corne, the reset switch on my PCB broke off. It's more a convenience / completion thing (shorting the pins is easy enough and I don't replace firmware much). Is this part of Typeractive the correct part? https://typeractive.xyz/products/reset-button For replacement, it looks like a surface mount component. So I'm guessing it's just a desolder and re-solder?...

Corne battery (international)

Hello, I live in France and just ordered a wireless corne keyboard (that according to Fedex is arriving on Monday, crazy fast delivery). But being in France, I couldn't order the battery from from typeractive. The Ali Express link given in the docs have a delivery time estimaed at 14 Feb, which is a lot. I found this battery https://www.ebay.com/itm/184956427807, the dimensions look quite close, do you think it would fit under the nano! ?...

Case stand-offs too short?

I received my corne kit this evening, and the PCB/display/switches all went together without any issue! However, I'm unable to screw the case together because the screws don't reach the stand-offs. I tried loosening the screws a bit to try to get a little extra stack height, but that didn't seem to help. Everything appears to be seated correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

[SOLVED] Part of my right Lily58 PCB has malfunctioning keystrokes

It has no-solder hotswap Kailh Low Profile Choc Switches. My two leftmost columns are having odd behaviour where sometimes there are no keystrokes, sometimes it repeats keystrokes, and sometimes it works fine, fluctuating between these three states very quickly. I've inspected the back for visual damage and there is none that I can spot. What would cause this to happen?

soldering help needed - one column doesn’t work

basically what the title says. i’ve resoldered the pin, but my OL. column isn’t working. images coming momentarily

Shipping out to CA for an order - checking numbers

Just (finally) getting clear so i can put in an order, wanted to check the shipping estimate (as a sanity check mainly), this is for an order, and the estimates are $4, but no tax + duty, then $57 with tax + duty. If the estimate is correct, USD 33.13 would be about 47 CAD, so then adding on the 4 from the option above.. that's 51? Mainly I'd much prefer to pre-pay tax/duty via merchant because it's generally easier/smoother/faster but the 53$ delta is a lot higher than what i was expecting for a $171 order, and since orders > 74 are tagged as free shipping but my base option is $4 wanted to check incase it's the shop that's going a bit weird (Free only seems to kick in at the CAD 220+ mark)...

Issues Uploading

Hey guys, i just wanted to make a quick post becuase i've been having a really hard time getting my nice!nanos set up. I initally was getting a coping error Which i solved by turning off windows defender and i got the second error message. The left controller now seems to want to work...at least slightly. The issue now is the left controller will show the blue led if it's plugged in, and the right hand will only show the orange led when its plugged in which i've been told it means it's charging. The left hand will not charge though, or at the very least the orange LED does not turn on. I have also set the config for the ZMK firmware to include the nice!nano but both screens just look like a pixelated mess....
