When installing the firmware the HID console outputs:  It scrolls a bit until a key press is entered. I suspect the board is cooked, but I have no way to know. I have attempted to use the https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/wiki/Signal-Capture-for-debug/#signal-capture-firmware but have had no success. If advised I'll acquire a logic analyzer to see if I can get it to work. I also haven't tried to add pull up resistors yet but can do that as well.
