If You Run Into Connectivity Issues

A project log for Wireless BLE Kinesis Advantage (Custom Controller)

Replaces the stock controller with an nRF52 BLE SOC and MCP23S17 io expander. BLE Kinesis with great (few months) battery life.

Don't know if it was my mac that caused it but something screwed up the pairing for 2 keyboards. Bluetooth would show them connected after waking u from sleep but they wouldn't send keypresses unless I re-paired them.

Turns out you needed to clear the 'bond' list from the keyboard side (resetting your laptop's bluetooth 50 times doesn't work, I tried).

If you're unlucky (first time it's happened to me) enough to run into issues, here's the [solution](https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=143309)

In the future, I may think about implementing a hard-reset via key combinations to do this. In the mean time, I'll assume since you're building this, you have enough basic Arduino knowledge to do it through code.
