Help - Keys not registering #176

Hi there!

This is my first keyboard and i have very little experience soldering, so I'm pretty sure I'm missing something or even doing something wrong, but I cant see what it is. I started with the right keyboard, so I soldered all the diodes, the jack and the two resistors. I don't know i the two resistors are needed because I will not put any LED.

The black part of all the diodes is facing left (except 3 that is facing down because they are vertical)

Now i wanted to test the ProMicro USB-C that I've got, so i flashed and put it with the pins. I did not want to solder the ProMicro until i could test everything works. So i put it like so, and "some" keykcaps on the other side. All keycaps are hotswapable, but they are not solded at the moment. (The plastic is to tilt it a bit for the picture. I'm sure i doesn't work even when all the pins are full in the ProMicro) I also tried to fllip the ProMicro and face it the other way 2023-12-06-13-18-14-939

With all this, i plug it to the PC and it's picked up, but it's not registering any key on qmk configurator or PC :( image

The ProMicro is workinig, if i short two pins, it shows a key on qmk, but it's not working if i click a key mounted on the pcb I haven't soldered the Reset button, I plan to do it, but it's required? Do i need to solder the ProMicro to test if it's working? Do i need to solder all the Mill-max pins to see if it's working? Did i something wrong? Do i need to do something different?

Thanks!

It seems I needed to solder the ProMicro 😁
