Help with setup - Kinesis Freestyle Pro

[smallstones]

Hello there!

I'm having some issues with getting the SterlingKey to work with my keyboard and was wondering if I could get some help.

My keyboard is probably a little unconventional - the Kinesis Freestyle Pro. I don't think it should be a big power draw as it doesn't have any backlighting.

I've gone through the different posts on this forum to try to troubleshoot it on my own but have not had any luck. I've gone through the different firmware versions on the updater (currently on 1.2.1, but also experimented around with some of the beta versions just to see if anything there would work). I've disconnected and restarted each time after installing the different versions.

I've tried pairing with my PC and also my iPhone, with SterlingKey connected to a power source and not, but just can't get it to work. While I'm able to connect to "SterlingKey Freestyle Edge", once I am connected, I don't get anything when I type on the keyboard.

Following the examples from the other posts on this forum, here is the debug code from the Console:

I also mistakenly tried to copy and paste using the keyboard (which unfortunately did not work) and then the console gave me the below:

Let me know if there's anything that I could do to get this device to work. I really love the idea of it so any help would be super appreciated!

Hey!

Thank you for the logs, since it's connecting properly and since there are logs when you type, from what I can see it's fixable. I will send you a new firmware to test in the coming hours.

Best regards,
Alex
