  • I'm trying to hand-wire a dactyl manuform (case printed from this repo) keyboard as my first build. So far, I've wired together the left side of the keyboard, which I am now testing. My keypresses are not picked up by my computer. I would appreciate if anyone could give me more debugging steps beyond what I've done so far!

  • I'm using Amoeba King PCBs with Kalih hot swap sockets. Note that I am not using RGBs. I've hand-soldered the sockets and 1N4148 SMD diodes according to steps (2) and (3) of the Wylder Builds guide. All my diodes are in the same orientation as in the diagram in the guide.

  • Let's suppose that the issue is the diode orientation. I'm a total QMK newbie -- how could I swap between ROW2COL and COL2ROW at the firmware level? On the QMK Github I see instructions for modifying the appropriate headers. But when I generate my config from config.qmk.fm I only get a single .hex file. Thanks again!
