Hi so I'm a complete noob when it comes to flashing a ProMicro. I'm making a Wyse converter to USB using soarers and I've got the firmware needed, it's just I haven't a clue how to set it up properly

Can anyone tell me if I'm doing this correctly?


The keyboard is a BML Wyse

NIce board! A pro-micro is based on the Atmel 32u4, not the 1286. You'll want to use the 32u4 hex file and set QMK toolbox accordingly.

• Connect the reset pin to a ground pin
• Plug in the pro-micro via USB
• Disconnect reset and ground
• It should show up as connected in bootloader mode
• Click the Flash button and hope there's no errors
• Unplug and connect it to your Wyse per Soarer's documentation

You should be able to plug it back in and see debug output using something like hid_listen.

Thanks for the reply! I followed the steps you suggested and it's flashed but there's no power or output from the keyboard, nor is there any pop up suggesting a keyboard was plugged in?

It looks like you flashed the hex for the 1286 processor, you'll need to use the one for the 32u4.

"Soarer_WYSEverter_v1.30_atmega32u4.hex"

Oh, duuh. My bad I'll try that!

Nice! It detects the converter now! However its reading the keyboard inputs completely wrong lol
(Update) All I needed to do was unplug and replug it in
