I replaced the ht16k33 on the assumption that I’d somehow killed the row drivers, and it is all working now!

The keyboard is a bit of a frankenstein’s monster after I used a breakout board version of the ht16k33, but that’s all hiding underneath 🙂

Overall, the instructions for construction were comprehensive and the only minor issues I had were the battery connector terminals being a bit loose for the wire gauge, and one hole on the board (for the Arduino socket) was blocked and had to be drilled out.

Thanks for a great kit.

The startup seems fine (I’m guessing the ‘IC detected’ line is for the ht16k33, I have the plugboard disconnected for now). Power and clk/data are working, I’ve re-checked all the LEDs, will continue to investigate. I’ll figure it out, thanks for the response.
