piantor
The Piantor Keyboard is a beginner-friendly, easy-to-solder, 42-key or 36-key, diodeless, low profile aggressive column staggered, hotswappable and non-hotswappable, programmable ergonomic mechanical split keyboard powered by Raspberry Pi Pico or other compatible RP2040 boards. It is based on the Cantor Keyboard. (by beekeeb)

Corne, but with a wider thumb cluster and stronger column stagger?
There are a few things that are close: * The Cantor/Piantor: more aggressive stagger and slightly changed thumb cluster. * The Swept Corne: essentially a big sweep. * The Hillside 46/48: This comes in many forms which are very similar to what you are looking for. Essentially an extra aggressive stagger (and perhaps splayed) Corne with a bigger thumb cluster.

Particularly does the Piantor keyboard https://github.com/beekeeb/piantor supports NKRO ?

a second half stops working
I have a piantor (https://github.com/beekeeb/piantor 2x rpi pico WeAct, halves connected by a TTRS cable, vial firmware for WeAct) keyboard built by myself (I soldered somethink like 10 years ago so I'm not an expert). It worked great but now the right half started to stop working. It happens after some idle time and happened once during usage. Diode is on on the broken half even when it does not work.

DIY Carrying Case for my Piantor
A fork of the Cantor which uses a Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller (or other RP2040-compatible microcontroller). See its GitHub page.

Please share your Piantor keyboard keymap files.
Couldn't find anywhere to download keymap files for Piantor keyboard, and don't have enough determination to start from scratch designing myself. Could you please share some of your creations? Thanks. My Piantor is a RPI0 variant, if that matters.

Built a Piantor and am quite happy with the result! What do recommend next after learning better colemak typing :-) ?
No it is the default case, see beekeep GitHub https://github.com/beekeeb/piantor/tree/main/case

Piantor and Leeloo
Ah yeah sorry, the piantor is not wireless (i removed the trrs cable to get them closer together). I traded off the convenience of wireless for an easier unpacking job (no need to make sure everything is charged, flip the on/off switches etc.) Not sure if someone has tried making a wireless variant. The repo is https://github.com/beekeeb/piantor

Problems with a new low-profile corne
I followed this guide for the build (https://github.com/foostan/crkbd/blob/main/corne-classic/doc/buildguide_en.md)

Nice!view not working when leds are turned on?
Not sure which information you mean, but here goes. Nice!Nano v2 Pinout (shows Arduino pin mapping). Nice!View Getting Started (explains how to remap the CS pin for a non-native shield like Corne). The overlay file where "cs-gpios" is set for the nice_view_adapter in ZMK. If you look at the Corne Schematic, you'll see as shown in the labels in this image that the bottom two pins (B2, B4, B5, B6) don't appear to be used for a column, row, or the OLED header. But the only way to really verify is to pull the KiCAD file for your Corne version and check yourself. I think D0 ("Data") should work. It appears to go to an optional I2C connection.

Corne, but with a wider thumb cluster and stronger column stagger?
Want to say the corne board drawings etc are available at https://github.com/foostan/crkbd as well, if you fancy learning kicad you might be able to tweak them yourself ... though that is definitely the deep end of things...

Help needed regarding handwireing
I would need hex file from here https://github.com/foostan/crkbd/blob/main/doc/firmware_en.md and then i need to run flash command . Il read through it one more time, it seems that i use same hex file for both sides.
