B.face R X2 will not type

[AustinParticipant]

Hello,

I recently assembled a B.face and after soldering the switches in, installing the bootmapper client, and loading the firmware, the keyboard will not type any characters.

• The keyboard is recognized by the bootmapper client as when “connect” is toggled in “options”, I can change the LEDs.
• Any keypress does not create output, nor does it show in the matrix on the bootmapper client.
• After uploading a keymap to the keyboard through the bootmapper client, I unplugged the keyboard and restarted the bootmapper client. I could then download the keymap off the keyboard and it showed as expected.
• I have tried different USB ports, as well as disconnecting and reconnecting the keyboard while holding U and ctrl on different attempts.

Any advice would be appreciated, thank you!

Hi

Could you check if you soldered diodes?

Thanks.

Hi,

 

I think I ended up choosing “none” on my order for that (order #5013). Looking back over the guide, I realize this was my mistake. Do you have any recommendation of where to get diodes? I apologize for my stupid mistake haha.

Thank you,

Austin

Oh…

It’s 1N4148 or LL4148.

You can find them easily from your local source.

Hi,

Just wanted to give a quick update. I ended up having to wait after ordering the diodes online (local stores didn’t have enough in stock). After soldering the diodes, the keyboard works flawlessly. Thank you for the help!
