Keypad not working #1

Closed fmhwong closed 1 year ago

My keypad not longer lights up when plugged in. According to README

To reinstall KMK from the beginning, first put the macropad into editor mode by holding down the center key and plugging it into your computer.

A CGM-33 drive will show up like a USB flash drive in your file explorer. Find it and delete all its contents.

Next, download the base KMK firmware according to steps 1-3 of the guide [here](https://github.com/KMKfw/kmk_firmware/blob/master/docs/en/Getting_Started.md).

Then, copy ONLY the KMK folder and the boot.py file from this page onto the USB drive (appearing as CGM-33).

Questions:

  1. From https://learn.adafruit.com/welcome-to-circuitpython/installing-circuitpython, there are firmware for 410 boards. Which one should I use?
  2. There is no boot.py on this page. Where should I get it?

Hello!

There should be no need to reinstall circuitpython. The missing boot file is now in the CGM-33 folder, you should now be able to reset the board by deleting everything from it and then copying to it everything here: https://github.com/chrisg20/KMK4cgM/tree/main/CGM-33

Let me know if this works!
