Hi, i made a wirless split keyboard and im testing it right now. The left side is connected to the pc with usb and the right side just gets power via usb but sends signals over bluetooth.

The right half always disconnects after about 20-30sec.

I already tried to set zmk_sleep=n but it doesnt change anything

Thankings

Also, the right half doesnt work via usb. the left side needs to be connected and the right side should have no connection to the pc. dont know if thats important

  • The peripheral half (the right, by default) of your keyboard only ever sends keystrokes over BLE to the central half (the left, by default). It will not output over USB or pair to a computer/phone/etc. (It does not communicate over TR(R)S either, and using these cables is discouraged.)
  • If you are using [superminis](#hardware message) you probably need to compensate for a bad(ly soldered) oscillator.

What else can i do? I mean imagine the hardware isnt the issue.

...why would I imagine that when it's a common enough problem with superminis to justify inclusion in the troubleshooting section and a pinned message in #hardware blobshrug
hand-soldering the oscillator (...iirc technically it's a crystal) can lead to similar results

but you don't have to take my word for it
you could go down this list too
and/or log over USB to obtain more information

But do i need to set it for my keyboard so keyboard_left/right.conf or for my microcontroller

if the intent is to allow other people to build using this repository as a module, it would go in your own personal configurations—namely, config/<shield>.conf (or config/<shield>_left.conf and config/<shield>_right.conf)

#

if you don't intend to have others use the repository, it's a distinction without a difference

how do i check if the flag has actually been set? right now i didnt make a difference it still disconnects after about 20-30sec and if i pull the usb power from the right side and put it in again it works again for about 20-30sec

Okay so it has been set. But it still doesnt work. I found something about the output behaivor. could i be possible that the keyboard tries to put out over the usb power?
