Model F 83-keys XT 83-key - Occasional stuck key, keyboard freezes #766
Comments
Judging from two points above firmware won't be problem here, hardware of converter or keyboard can cause probably. Change of temperature and humidity may reveal this. |
Post closeup pic of your covnerter hardware if you are not familiar with these things. I'm afraid of ProMicro and pull-up. |
I hate to be another example of someone that didn't listen thoroughly enough to your instructions, but it probably was the lack of a pull-up resistor causing my problems. I had spent hours troubleshooting this converter when I first put it together and must have removed the resistor during that process. It did not initially occur to me to check since it had worked fine for so long. Here are pictures of my converter after removing the heatshrink and resoldering all the connections; it works great now with a 1k Ohm pull-up bridging Vcc to Signal. For anyone else reading this, your Bit-C is not significantly improved from a standard pro-micro that you will avoid this problem; you need a pull-up even with the Bit-C. |
Note that you need two pull-up resistors on both DATA(PD0) and CLOCK(PD1) line for IBMPC converter. Check this first post also. |
I've used my converter without issue since #751, but have recently experienced frequent freezes and stuck keys. It happens roughly every 5 to 15 minutes, lasting <10 seconds each time. Oftentimes, the key I was pressing when the issue occurs will repeat for several seconds while the the keyboard is locked up. Then the keyboard will resume normal function until it happens again.
Here's the keyboard booting up,
and later when the issue occurs.
Steps I've taken to remedy the issue: 1. Clean the keyboard, 2. Check all connections, 3. Unplug/replug, 4. Update with fresh firmware from tmk-kbd.com
