diodes were soldered wrong direction #153

Closed UrielParienti closed 2 years ago

UrielParienti commented 2 years ago

Hi, i finished the left side (work perfectly) but I am facing issues with the right side. I'm assuming that the diodes were soldered wrongly, but before I cut them all out I want to be sure that this is the issue. all of them are soldered with a little black mark on the right side. when I started uploading the firmware, it finished successfully but non of the keys were working. so am I doomed to remove them all?

Hi there, if you could upload a picture it would help.

Diodes need to be installed following the symbols that are printed on the PCBs like in the image below:

Anyway you can also refer to the images in this repo for reference.
