Intermittent Unresponsiveness

[lvisintini]

I have successfully updated my DIY Soarer converter to use the new firmware and initial testing showed it was okay. (even got to configure a few things in VIAL)

However, after a few days of light usage, I noticed the keyboard frequently (every 30-60 seconds) becomes unresponsive for a second or two, after which it flashes the Num Lock LED and then starts operating normally again.

I have reverted to Soarer’s firmware and it works fine, so there appears to be no hardware issues (Arduino Pro Micro USB-C – ATMEGA32U4 )

This is the command I used for the flash the firmware (relatively the same as I initially used for soarer's converter firmware)

& “C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\tools\avrdude\6.3.0-arduino17/bin/avrdude” -C”C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\tools\avrdude\6.3.0-arduino17/etc/avrdude.conf” -v -patmega32u4 -cavr109 -PCOM5 -b57600 -D -Uflash:w:D:\converter_tinkerboy_ibmpc_usb_atmega32u4_atmel_dfu_vial.hex:i

Have any idea what could be going wrong?

Do you have other keyboard to test it with? Try that one first.

Or compile it with fewer features.

I do not have another keyboard to test this but I have tested it with Soarer's converter firmware without issue for several months
I believe that the problem is unlikely to be related to a hardware issue.

I can try compiling with fewer features, though I am not sure which ones would be good candidates.
If you have recommendations, let me know
