#Turning on Tachyon mode on V2 board goes haywire

Its permanently stuck at 1.71-1.81 and doesn't reset the actuation point. So I'm already activating some keys none stop. I'm using the wire that Wooting provided with the new board but it doesn't seem to be working.
Any help would be great

Is the keyboard plugged directly into the motherboard?

soft karma
#

yes

noble ore
#

Try a different port

soft karma
#

I figured it out. I had to disassemble the keyboard and adjust the foam between the plate and board

#

this helped with the issue but there is one thing that annoys me or is this normal. Once I start typing on the board it doesn't fully reset while tacyon mode is on

#

its now 0.18 but it goes away once I unplug and replug in the keyboard

#

this is while its out of its case

noble ore
soft karma
#

No, it goes away which is weird

noble ore
#

Was probably messed up calibration, if it goes away after the replug and doesn't come back.

soft karma
#

I’ll have to monitor it and hope it goes away permanently. But the other note, the foams for the V2 isn’t compatible with the mounting system of the owlabs case 🤦‍♂️

noble ore
#

Case foam and silicone or what do you mean?

soft karma
#

The foam and also silicone/foam filler that came with the V2 board doesn’t allow any space for the mounting rubber from the owlabs case

#

And the foam from the owlabs doesn’t fit the mounted stabilizers on the V2 board which causes spaces to form and stress the screws

#

So i cant upgrade my owlabs from the V1 to the V2 board 9822pepe16

noble ore
#

Sorry, I'm confused now :D Did you get split v2?

soft karma
#

Full spacebar

noble ore
#

Then everything should be compatible

soft karma
#

Let me see if I can find a picture of the mounting style

#

It uses the sandwich because there no foam filling up to the edge of the plate and board so the rubber can slot in between

noble ore
#

Did you install this poron sandwich pad instead of silicone friction fit pad between the PCB and plate?

soft karma
#

Yes

#

Should I have used the friction instead of the poron? And replace the owlabs friction mounting system with the new one from wooting?

noble ore
soft karma
#

The poron that was provided by owlabs or the poron that was sent with the V2 board

noble ore
#

the extra foam you get in the box

soft karma
#

I have that on right now but it leaves no gap

#

Let me disassemble the keyboard right now

#

And take pics

next haven
#

you essentially only use our pcb and that's it if you want to use the owlab parts

soft karma
soft karma
next haven
#

that's odd, it's the same screw ins as v1

#

so sizing there should be no different, we didn't change the stabilizers

soft karma
#

I was also confused let me sent a pic of it

next haven
#

yeah please do. I'm not sure why your foam isn't fitting as the stabilizers aren't changed for the v2

#

if they fit your v1 they should fit the v2

#

you do need to swap one standoff over in your plate though if that's what is causing your incompatibility

soft karma
#

The standoffs aren’t causing any issue from what I saw when changing it over

next haven
#

then i'm very confused because we didn't touch the stabilizers

#

they should be exactly the same size as the ones in your v1

#

honestly speaking though unless you're specifically wanting to use the cf plate I'd just drop the entire module pre assembled into the owlab case, the rest of the owlab mods are the same as what we have stock in the v2 already

#

so it's mostly just for the cf plate if you want to do the swap of all the foams/internal bits

soft karma
#

Ok so I have the original foam from owlabs

next haven
#

you basically need to strip your v2 module down to same as your v1 module, so none of our mods if you want to use owlab kit fully

soft karma
next haven
#

wait are those stock stabs?

soft karma
#

No the stabs are the one from owlabs

#

I replaced them all

next haven
#

is that the owlab foam?

soft karma
#

Yes

#

I replaced everything

next haven
#

well if their foam doesn't fit with another stab not much we can do there because their foam was cut to fit our stabs

#

if you want you could modify their foam i suppose but everything is sized for our parts, not some 3rd person parts that you added

soft karma
#

I used staibies

noble ore
#

I'd just cut the foam, if you want to use those stabilizers

soft karma
#

Stabies

#

Should I just switch over to the ones you guys provided?

noble ore
#

Do Staebies even fit the Owlab plate? They're too thick

soft karma
#

They do besides the foam issue

next haven
#

honestly though what you should do is just reassemble the module if you like your current stabs more

#

unless you want to cut the foam to fit

#

because you could just re-assemble module with fr4 kit and staebies and drop it friction fit into owlab case

soft karma
#

Your stablizers and the one from staebies is about the same

next haven
#

then i'm not sure where the issue is, does it actually cause issues if you use the foam now?

soft karma
#

The silicon does cause the foam float

#

Let me assemble it

next haven
#

you take those out

#

again - if you want to use the owlab parts you literally need to strip your pcb down to just the module like your v1

#

you cannot use any of our additions with owlab parts

#

they have their own fit and solution for that

#

all those rubber knobs are removable, you just pull them out

soft karma
#

I managed to fit it

next haven
#

if you want to use the foam under the pcb you need to remove those rubber bumpers at the bottom anyway

soft karma
#

Removed them all and now its fitting somewhat

#

Alright its all working now

#

Thank you for the help
