Right half not working (Lily58 Pro) about lily58 HOT 17 CLOSED

So I was able to fix the issue. It appeared physical damage as I suggested before.
As SOFT_SERIAL_PIN set to PD2 in file serial_config.h. I've just connected them directly with a wire.
and it solved the problem.

Then I just soldered PD2 pin to TRRS on the damaged board.

No problems so far :)

Hi
Using blue ProMicro?
Blue ProMicro recommends using black ProMicro due to left / right communication issues.

I have the same problem with a Lily58 keyboard from a customer. Tomorrow i replace the pro micro with different pro micro's and elite-c and post the result here.

There is another fix. A different slave detection method (PR).

“A few of us collaborators of the QMK Firmware reviewed and tested the new option, signed off on it, and then it got merged in. So to use the new detection method (which does not rely on the Schottky diode), in config.h of your keymap, add the…” — @keebio https://link.medium.com/kmZ3dambK2

Scroll down to the What do we do now? headline.

Would be great if the Lily58 uses the new split_common framework.

The problem that blue ProMicro cannot communicate left and right has been reported in Japan.

I can't verify because I don't have Elite-C. sorry.

Did some test with different pro micro's.
Left version of the Pro Micro on the picture works, if on both sides. Also the Elite-C works. Will compare both under a magnifier to find difference.
First obvious difference is the micro usb port.

YMMV, But for me I switched to a from a 4 pole TRRS cable to a 3 pole TRS Cable, and for whatever reason it actually work. If you want to try the lily58 with split common code, check out my personal fork of qmk, it has both the CRKBD and Lily58 working with split common. You might need to add SPLIT_TRANSPORT = yes in your keymaps rules.mk for it to work properly, or you can try my keymap (make lily58:curry:flash), however it is meant for the elite-c.

I had a similar issue! Are you, by any chance, using RGB LED backlight?
6 LEDs per half in my build (with full brighness) was too much and lead to brownouts - with one half not working.
As soon as I disabled them, the issue was gone.

@kata0510 can I use this connection? I want to solder them directly to exclude pcb problem?

from lily58.

According to https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/docs/feature_split_keyboard.md
in keymap/config.h you need to define:
#define SPLIT_USB_DETECT
also choose hand for each promicro:
controller have left hand buttons
#define MASTER_LEFT
controller have right hand buttons
#define MASTER_RIGHT

Yes, blue ones. Oh wow, I thought they are all the same!
Thanks, I will try with black ones!

from lily58.

I think I've found the problem that you mentioned, but it is about green ones.
green micro vs blue.
Altho the only black micros that I've found are Elite-C, were you referring to them?

from lily58.

@BenRoe, I'm using regular pro micros (with micro-usb port), do you think this is still related?

from lily58.

@CurryFurious I've tried with 3 pole TRS, still same issue. I'm still waiting for black ProMicro's to arrive, will post an update once I'll try them.

from lily58.

So, I've finally got to try black pro-micros on both sides, and it has the same issue. Can you please tell me what pins are used for two sides connection I'll try to solder them directly.

from lily58.

@aWalrus Hi! No, I have only both types of sockets, reset switch, trrs and pro-micros soldered.

@Curry I've tried with your keymap but still I suffer the same problem... using 2 elite-c and trying to flash a lily58 default keymap, the right part doesn't do anything. Sometimes the left hand functions perfectly and others only "z", "x", "b", "v" "[" and " " works. Can you help me please?

from lily58.

Running into this too - I tried with SPLIT_USB_DETECT but nothing.
