1 year ago Does it still happen at low brightness/single colour?

HELP! Which Board?
RGB (not keyhive) Which Board Revision?
v2.1 (Dane Evans) What steps have you taken
- I have searched the Issues page
- I have read the documentation
- For LED issues I have checked the following things
- the pro micro is programmed (and currently telling the LEDs to do something)
- the pro micro is powered (and showing LEDs)
- the LEDs are powered (check 5v across pins 1 and 3 of J1)
- are any of the LEDs showing
LED configuration?
Indicator + drop lighting + per key lighting What is the issue?
I've finished building both halves.
If I plug in just the left half, all LEDs work (color & brightness). If I plug in just the right half, all LEDs work (color & brightness).
However, if I connect the two halves, LEDs 35 & 36 on the opposite side are stuck at different colors, and full brightness. I say opposite side, because if I plug the USB into the right half, LEDs 35 & 36 on the left half then have this problem.

- Firmare: I have tried sofle_v1, sofle_keyhive, and both of their Via equivalents with no luck
- I have (painstakingly) removed the micro controller twice from each side, so it isn't impossible the PCB has suffered damage (the micro controllers are not damaged though as I was replacing them)
- I am using Elite-C V4 controllers
- I did have to do a janky bridge (see images) as one of the traces on the top half of the RHS board lifted when I was trying to remove the old pins. The symptoms of this were...
Fix I had to do for the RHS as one of the traces for the controllers lifted, and keys 13-18 weren't working until this. Although I found this after the fact, the images in this reply https://github.com/josefadamcik/SofleKeyboard/issues/163#issuecomment-1277367148 might help make sense of what this bridge is supposed to do.

- LEDs 35 * 36 follow the colors/patterns of all other per-key LEDs
