Hi,
I think you're referring to the Pro Micro used in the Redox wired version. Usually a simple visual inspection is sufficient to find out if the Pro Micro doesn't use the correct power cirtcuitry (for example the wrong pro micro misses the J1 jumper).
The left Pro Micro in the image is the wrong kind. Keep in mind that they can come up in different PCB colors, the color alone is not sufficient to determine whether the Pro Micro is bad. More info here.
If you're referring to the 3.3V/5V, you just need to change the CPU frequency parameter.
thank you so much mine has a open J1 not a closed j1 as pictured, I was also worried about 3.3V/5V :+1:
I've also found this supplier for this https://mechboards.co.uk/shop/components/24-pin-pro-micro-sockets/ that should solve the issue incase of a faulty board.
it's similar to the part you list but I was able to get it shipped to the UK for a reasonable price.
Hello,
I'm looking to build this keyboard for my birthday later on this month. I keep reading the section regarding the 5v Arduino and to be honest it has me worried. I'm not quite a total n00b to soldering, but I am at de soldering as it's something I've never done before.
Is there anyway I can test them preinstallation?
sorry for asking such a noobish question I know it's possibly not the right forum for this type of Q.
