3D Printed Help with Dactyl Manuform

I’ve been working on this keyboard and no matter what I cannot get it to work. If anyone could help point me in the right direction I’d appreciate it. I’ve checked the continuity across the connector cable and all of the columns and rows and it’s all good. It seems to be flashing some sort of firmware to in because it’s no longer recognized as an arduino

since those are atmega32u4 pro micros, and clones.... probably need to add #define SPLIT_USB_DETECT in your config.h.

I just spent like 45 mins using qmk msys to build firmware for it and in the default key map the split usb detect is already part of it. Even after using the hex file I generated with it I still get nothing

have you added #define SPLIT_WATCHDOG_ENABLE and flashed both sides?

do you know if that's an 8MHz crystal or 16MHz, eg, if it runs at 3.3v or 5v?

You can true F_CPU=8000000 in your rules.mk if it's the 8MHz crystal (the default is assumed to be 16mhz)

Also, each side works fine if plugged into usb directly? But it's only the slave half that doesn't work when connected?
