Hi all. I have had a lot of issues getting a new shield working, using nicenanos. I am creating a split with rgb underglows. When I try using gitactions, it throws the error "No shield named '...' found". When I try using my own fork of zmk, I do get it running, but while the keys work, the rgb does not. I have got the corne shield working with rgb using gitactions, but as soon as I replace corne with a different name (appropriately, renaming all variable, and making sure the shield is lower case), it stops working. Are there any git repos for a new shield that is split and has rgb that you can point me toward, so I can figure it out from there?

to be clear: you're following these instructions, right? https://zmk.dev/docs/development/new-shield
Probably easiest to link to the shield's repository if you'd like help troubleshooting it.

Yes, that is correct. I have gone through those instructions several times, often starting from scratch. I did so again this time, just to be safe. As previously, typing on the shield works completely fine. The underglow does not turn on. Note that I have verified that the physical LEDs work (using qmk). After following the instructions, I have additionally: 1/ Added "CONFIG_ZMK_RGB_UNDERGLOW=y
CONFIG_WS2812_STRIP=y" to heawood42.conf, 2/ Added "#include <dt-bindings/zmk/rgb.h>" to heawood42.keymap, 3/ Added a few &rgb_ug behaviours to the keymap to see if they would do anything, 4/
Added " - underglow" to heawood42.zmk.yaml, 5/ added a boards directory, with the nice_nano and nice_nano_v2.overlay
The files are on https://github.com/triliu/Heawood42/blob/main/zmk/
The files are placed under app/boards/shields/heawood42 in the zmk directories, and then from app/ I am running "west build -p -d build/H42/left -b nice_nano_v2 -- -DSHIELD=heawood42_left", and then getting the uf2 file from "app/build/H42/left/zephyr/zmk.uf2", and flashing that through usb

The Kconfig needs to go in separate left/right .conf files, if you are using that location
