nice!view Not Working With New Firmware
Hello! I just built my Corne 5 column and the screens worked with the default firmware from the guide, but I made a new firmware from the repository from the guide (just changing some keybinds) and now the screens only display a few black pixels. Everything else works (typing on it now), it is just the screens that are messed up. How do I get the screens back online without just using the default? Iām totally new to this and it is very possible I just did something wrong, but I have no idea what it could be. Thanks!

It sounds like the issue with your nice!view displays may be related to the configuration in your custom firmware. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:
1. Check the Configuration: Ensure that your custom firmware includes the necessary configurations for the nice!view. In your
corne.keymap file, make sure that the nice!view is properly defined and that the display settings are included. You can refer to the default keymap in the repository for guidance.
2. Verify the Display Driver: Make sure that the display driver for the nice!view is enabled in your firmware configuration. This is crucial for the displays to function correctly.
3. Rebuild the Firmware: After making any changes to the configuration, rebuild your firmware using the GitHub Actions. Ensure that there are no errors during the build process.
4. Flash the Firmware: Once you have rebuilt the firmware, flash it to your nice!nano by following the standard procedure:
- Plug in your nice!nano to your computer.
- Enter the bootloader by double-tapping the reset button.
- Drag and drop the new .uf2 file onto the NICENANO drive.
5. Test with Default Firmware: If the issue persists, you can temporarily flash the default firmware again to confirm that the displays work correctly. This will help isolate whether the problem lies within your custom firmware.
6. Consult the Documentation: If you're still having trouble, refer to the firmware documentation for additional details on configuring the nice!view.
By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot the issue with your nice!view displays. If you continue to experience problems, consider reviewing your changes in the keymap file or seeking further assistance through the troubleshooting documentation.Firmware | Typeractive.xyz Documentation
If you're not familiar, ZMK is a wireless-focused firmware, and it powers our Corne Wireless. While it doesn't have a VIA alternative yet, it does allow you to build firmware in the cloud.

That did it! Thank you!
The main difference between 6-col and 5-col is that for five column you should either put zmk,physical-layout = &foostan_corne_5col_layout in your chosen or just leave the outer columns blank in the bindings, but it sounds like you have already got that covered š
