Hi, I posted this in the thread “weird key press behavior” but it was different enough that i thought I’d create a second thread, so I apologize for the double posting.
I finished building my b.face a couple days ago and my “0” key registers as “*-0”, “p” registers as “Page Up P”, “;” registers as “+;”, and “/” as “Page Down /”.
As you recommend in the other thread, I tried re-uploading the correct firmware and this didn’t fix the problem. Any idea what could have gone wrong?
Thank you for your time

I think you soldered some switches badly.
Could you show me your PCB which shows soldering parts.
Thanks.

July 21, 2017 at 9:28 pm #6222Absolutely! Attached is a picture of the section of PCB that is affected. I used holtites on my build instead of soldering the switches, so I don’t know how that would change things.

I need a photo around main controller parts.
Thanks.
Hojin.yiJuly 21, 2017 at 10:21 pm #6227This is probably not my best soldering work, so I wouldn’t be surprised if something doesn’t look right
July 21, 2017 at 10:23 pm #6228Let’s try that one more time

I suspect there would be some shorts in MCU pads(legs).
Could you try to clean the MCU pads?
Or
If you tell me all the keys which register wrongly after uploading a default keymap,
I could pick which pads are bad.Thanks.
Hojin.YiJuly 22, 2017 at 12:22 am #6231The keys that register incorrectly are “0”, “P”, “;”, and “/”.
July 22, 2017 at 8:53 am #6235While trying to clean up my soldering on the MCU, I managed to strip the finish off of the PCB between two of the pins, making it even harder to make a clean solder point. Have I ruined my PCB while trying to fix this?
July 22, 2017 at 10:12 am #6236Could you show me that parts?
July 22, 2017 at 10:28 am #6237I’m away from my workbench right now, but I will take a picture of it as soon as possible.
Which leads would cause the keys I mentioned to be problematic?
July 22, 2017 at 12:26 pm #6238I’m not sure how, but I seem to have managed to fix the “P” and “/” keys. However, the “zero” and “;” keys are still registering extra key presses

But I suppose
– The soldering pins in the circle of the photo I attached would have been damaged or had flow shorts.
– Your MCU itself could’ve been broken due to too much heating.
Sorry for not being a big help.
Thanks.

It’s reaching the point where I’m tempted to just purchase an SMT replacement and be done with it.
Thanks for your help, I know I’m not making it easy
July 23, 2017 at 3:00 am #6244Using trial and error, I’ve managed to cobble things together into working order.
Thanks again for your assistance
