tmk numpad Pro Micro help please
« on: Tue, 01 March 2016, 00:50:01 »
I'm trying to make a Number Pad using a Pro Micro and TMK.

I followed Matt3o's guide for making the tmk firmware, and then flashed it to my pro micro, but getting garbage output. all of it is valid, but no keys are actually pressed, and pressing them changes nothing. Would anyone mind looking over my code? also, is anyone aware of a way to get the "00" numpad key on tmk? using  a second "0" as a placeholder, since once I get it working, want to add a second layer for arrow keys and the home/del/pg cluster.

Thanks!

If you're getting random output it sounds like you have a short so check your wiring - if it's outputting a whole row or column repeatedly that gives you a clue where.  Could also be if you're using a pin with an LED connected on the controller in your matrix?  I'm not familiar with the Pro Micro...

If you can't work out the short post some of the output as that may help someone work it out.

I could get 00 working with EasyAVR, but my TMK knowledge is lacking :(

Are you using Sparkfun's Pro Micro clone?

ebay china pro micro, blue pcb, like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Pro-Micro-ATmega32U4-5V-16MHz-Replace-ATmega328-Arduino-Pro-Mini-/140972980117

no particular row or column is lighting up, sometimes i get row 0, or column 0,1, or 3, sometimes it forms weird tetris shapes on aqua key test, the only pattern is that it looks like all the keys that light up are touching. which key outputs changes randomly over time while the numpad remains plugged in, whether or not I touch it. pressing keys seems to change nothing.

Yes, it's the same I have and it gives me any sort of problem with the bootloader. I'm not sure wheter it's me (most likely) or the board itself.

Can I ask why you decided to start with a GH60 config rather than the lightpad, which is already set up as a 4x6 numberpad?  You've done a lot more changes than you needed to and more changes means more chance of making a mistake, so as it's really not working I would start again - it might be as simple as changing the pins if your diodes are the same way round.

It was my first time using tmk, So I just followed Matt3o's instructions exactly. I checked a few folders for a numpad, but gave up quickly when I couldn't find 104's either.

I'll try lightpad today, thanks!
