uConsole keyboard stops working after plugin USB

uConsole
22

I can confirm that the stock firmware does not have this issue

23

not at all, or does the keyboard restart properly by itself?
what does journalctl -f _KERNEL_SUBSYTEM=usb show when you run that while plugging in a usb device

24

But the stock firmware of the keyboard had multiple key presses, making it unusable

25

Not at all. It does not disconnect. I only see the device connection and disconnection log entries

26

I do not like the stock firmware too. I need to connect devices without reconnecting the keyboard though

28

I dont how was your experience but out of the box keyboard firmware (at least on mine) was a very poor experience, you press one key and it continuously pressed the key like 20 times, it was very annoying and unusable to be honest.
I simply use the USB on my extension boards and for some reason those work fine without affecting the keyboard at all

I can also confirm, reverting from latest qmk to stock firmware fixes the issue when connecting any USB peripheral.

Nice to hear that. But donā€™t you have issues with the stock firmware? Mainly sticky keys, for example if I press a single time Z it would write like zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

It was completely unusable, maybe I had a very old version? idkā€¦

The stock bin hasnā€™t been updated in over 2 years. Stock was unusable for me too.

If you are having issues with the keyboard not working. Using an extension board like this will allow you to plug in usb devices without taking out your keyboard. (shameless plug ā€œThis is my storeā€):

for the uconsole thatā€™s the same amount of effort, it doesnā€™t have a battery door like the devterm

have experience a similar issue when a USB device is plugged in the USB port on the main board it takes out the keyboard but if it is plugged in the hacker gadget aio-board it work fine. also removing the front cover is the only way i find to make the keyboard restart.

36

itā€™s a known issue, USB devices with large startup current drop the voltage on the USB bus causing devices to reset, and depending on firmware this causes the keyboard to not fully restart

Replacing C513 capacitor solves the problem.
