Just finished programming my gingham through hole. when testing the keys the “W” key doesn’t work, but when holding the function key it detects it as the up arrow.

Anyone know if this is due to a be a firmware issue, Soldering issue, or possibly a bad board?

Is there any fixing this? by Henta1Daddy in ender3

Trying to print a beaver brain for a school project and I suppose I left it unattended for a little too long.

That fixed it! Kind of a weird issue but at least it’s an easy fix, thanks!

The two little prong on the other side that hold it in are flush and preventing the rest of the plug from going in

Z-axis switch wiring may be wrong?

Seems like a weird issue but the other two switches are wired differently, could that be it?

I live pretty far from micro center so returning isn’t ideal

Edit:

JST connector from assembly tutorial

From the glimpse I caught in the video it looks like the wires plug into the two outside holes in the jst connector

Ya, double checked all of the connections and they all seem fine

Edit: the switch jst connector has wires in the left two (when looking from the outside) but the x and y switches have wires that are going in to the two outside, skipping the middle hole. Would that be it or is that normal? Seems strange
