Hey there,

I have been in the process of building my first custom keyboard (Ferris sweep), I have just finished flashing my to halves, and wanted to test it out, and it turns out that one of the keys doesn’t work. My guess is a poorly soldered joint.

My question for you are, what are my options for troubleshooting this problem, and finding the source of it? (I’m guessing that it could both be from the micro controller, and the key it self)

Thank you for reading, and this great community

    Did you install hot swap sockets?

    I recently built a board and smushed the pins on one switch while I was hurriedly installing them. All was fine once I pulled it out and straightened the pins.

      I didn’t install hot swap sockets no, that’s why I expect that I maybe have made a cold connection or something when soldering the switch. Thanks for the advise though
