Hello, I have a question before starting the soldering process, can you confirm me the diode is correctly oriented ?

Thank you !

    It should be but to be 100% sure you should check the schematic/PCB layout and the datasheet for the part. It’s extremely rare for a part like a diode to have a non-standard marking pattern so this would be correct, but it’s not unheard of.

    Yes. You see that triangle with a line on top of it on the PCB? The line on your diode should be on the same side as the line on that marking.

    Thanks all for your comments and answers, I’ve just tests the keyboard and it seems to work pretty fine, I’m really happy, I didn’t expect to get something working directly!

    As a reminder, here is the commands I’ve used to get the firmware to copy:

    # Install the required compiler
    sudo apt install gcc-arm-none-eabi
    # Enter in the virtual environment
    . ~/.virtualenvs/qmk/bin/activate.fish
    # Check the keyboard
    qmk list-keyboards | grep sofle
    # Check the keymaps
    qmk list-keymaps -kb sofle_choc
    # Compile
    qmk flash -kb sofle_choc -km via -e CONVERT_TO=promicro_rp2040
