Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Rules
Keep it ergo
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)
i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²
¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

I have already wired the switches. Guided by Scotto's videos. It's a 5x4 matrix with no keys on the bottom row on 1,2,9,10. There are similar shields for the zmk firmware. My problem lies in the identification of row/column to pin connection.
Columns starting from the pinky: F5, B6, D7, E6, B4
Rows starting from the top: F7, C6, D4, B5
The pinout for the pro micro and nice!nano should be the same, I'm just using the AVR pin names but F7 is the same as pin 18, for instance.
Edit: Looks like you wired COL2ROW instead or ROW2COL. By the way, the wiring of the columns is a bit different from the original.
But none of this really matters, your keyboard looks great! You should be able to connect to any digital pins and program it to work just fine.
