nice!nano BT connected but no keys are working
Hey guys, I’m in need of some troubleshooting please.
I bought the parts and assembled a corne choc v2 with nice!nano wireless. I have soldered all diodes (right orientation), soldered the switches, PCB joins and the controller. Soldered the reset button but no OLED, leds or anything else.
I managed to flash the firmware using ZMK’s default and even connected through BT to my MacOS but no keys is registered.
What could it be? I’ve followed the official corne build guide plus the one from typeractive.

It sounds like you're experiencing a common issue that could be related to the wiring or soldering of the switches and diodes. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can follow:
1. Check Solder Joints: Ensure that all solder joints for the switches and diodes are solid. A cold or incomplete solder joint can prevent the switches from registering. Refer to the Adafruit Soldering Guide for tips on making good solder joints.
2. Inspect for Shorts: Use a multimeter to check for any shorts between the pins on the nice!nano and the PCB. A short can prevent the keyboard from functioning properly.
3. Verify Connections: Double-check that the nice!nano is properly connected to the PCB and that all necessary pins are soldered correctly. You can refer to the pin mapping in the Corne build guide to ensure everything is connected as it should be.
4. Firmware Configuration: Make sure that the firmware you flashed is compatible with your specific build. If you made any customizations to the keymap, ensure that the keys are mapped correctly.
5. Test Individual Keys: If possible, test individual keys by connecting them to a known working switch or using a different switch to see if the issue persists.
6. Check the nice!nano: Ensure that the nice!nano is functioning correctly. If you have another nice!nano, you could swap it out to see if the issue is with the controller.
If you've gone through these steps and are still having issues, please let me know, and we can explore further troubleshooting options!

Can you share picture of your build please?
Thank you for the attention
Any picture you need in more detail, just ask and I’ll take it
a few more details to help identify the issue.
• I've used the right configuration for ZMK, checked twice;
• reset buttons are working as intended on both boards;
• I haven't tested all slots but I was swapping three at a time to check for any key registering but to no avail. On both boards;
• My soldering skills aren't the best and I haven't used flux;
• Batteries are soldered manually onto the controllers;
• Flashing the controllers all went fine and yes, I made sure right is on the right and left is on the left. I reset and flashed twice, same result;

Hi we don’t sell these PCBs or microcontrollers, I suggest you look for support elsewhere.
I see.
Thank you anyway
