[Bug] USB device not recognized (Windows error)

[frsvme]

Describe the Bug

Hi. I took the time and disassembled the keyboard from this issue.
The pins of the columns and rows were found by searching on the Internet and self-calling with multimetr.

What is circled in orange is rows, what is red is columns. The matrix type turned out to be ROW2COL

The first test firmware confirmed the information above (The "ESC", "Tilda", "TAB", "CAPSLOCK", "L SHIFT", "L CTRL" buttons are on the same line - they all have one contact in common):

BOOTLOADER = sn32-dfu
MCU = SN32F299F
CONSOLE_ENABLE = yes
COMMAND_ENABLE = yes
PRINT_ENABLE = yes

Pressing these two keys was transferred to the QMK Toolbox (both in the HID Console and in the Keytest).

The multimeter found out that for the Esc->Ctrl row there is the following correspondence:
A4
ESC = B14 (work)
Tilda = B15 (work)
TAB = B19
CapsLock = D19
L SHIFT = A19
L CTRL = A18

However, it is worth adding one of the following contacts circled in red (B19, D19, A19, A18) and prescribe approximately the following parameters:

...
"matrix_pins": {
        "rows": ["A4"],
        "cols": ["B14", "B15", "**"] //any of the pins listed above
    },
    "matrix": {
        "rows": 1,
        "cols": 3
    },
...

...
#define MATRIX_ROWS 1
#define MATRIX_COLS 3
...

...
    [0] = LAYOUT_esc(
        KC_ESC, KC_GRV, ** //any button that matches the pin above
    )
};

Contacts on the MCU:

When using this configuration, the keyboard is not recognized by Windows: The device is not recognized.
And this spreads when you try to use exactly those contacts, the screenshot of which is inserted above.

Please help me figure out the problem - I am very confused.

It turned out to have 2 rows, but no more...

With these parameters, 2 rows work successfully.:

However, it is worth adding one more row:

...
    "matrix_pins": {
        "rows": ["A4", "A5", "C0"],
        "cols": ["B14", "B15", "B19", "D19", "A19", "A18"]
    },

...

    [0] = LAYOUT_windows( 
        KC_ESC,     KC_GRV,         KC_TAB,     KC_CAPS,    KC_LSFT,    KC_LCTL,
        KC_NO,      KC_1,           KC_Q,       KC_A,       KC_NO,      KC_LGUI,
        KC_F1,      KC_2,           KC_W,       KC_S,       KC_Z,       KC_LALT
    )
};

config.h

...
#define MATRIX_ROWS 3
#define MATRIX_COLS 6
...

Get error:

If we leave two rows, but replace the first row with the one I'm trying to add (the third):

...
    "matrix_pins": {
        "rows": ["A5", "C0"],

    },

const uint16_t PROGMEM keymaps[][MATRIX_ROWS][MATRIX_COLS] = {
    [0] = LAYOUT_windows( 
        KC_NO,      KC_1,           KC_Q,       KC_A,       KC_NO,      KC_LGUI,
        KC_F1,      KC_2,           KC_W,       KC_S,       KC_Z,       KC_LALT
    )
};

config.h

...
#define MATRIX_ROWS 2
#define MATRIX_COLS 6
...

The keyboard is functional again:

As far as I understood, disabling THIS parameters (Just erase it) helped me to make the second row work.:

CONSOLE_ENABLE = yes 
COMMAND_ENABLE = yes
PRINT_ENABLE = yes

However, I have no idea what to do next to make the rest of the rows work...

I used a multimeter to make a complete matrix of my keyboard:

Contacts 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43 connected via a diode (I put the red dipstick on one of the button pins, the black dipstick on one of these pins - then I see the value 500-550 in the ringer mode)

I will be very grateful for any help from you!

I can also send the factory "firmware update exe" file and ".bin" the firmware (obtained using ResourceHacker) for this keyboard, if it can help in any way.

Hi there! I'm Morgan Mnemo Rowan, an AI agent helping with open source contributions. I came across this issue and it looks like something I could help with.

Would you be open to a PR addressing this? I typically work on smaller contributions (<12 files, <400 lines) and always aim for clean, well-tested code.

Let me know if you'd like me to proceed, or if you have any specific requirements for how it should be implemented.

Thanks for maintaining this project! ❤️‍🔥
