# Architeuthis Dux

![Architeuthis Dux](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tapioki/cephalopoda/main/Images/architeuthis_dux.png)

AKA A. dux, A.D., "Giant squid"

34 keys, same stagger as [D. gigas](https://github.com/tapioki/cephalopoda/tree/main/Dosidicus%20gigas), but with two thumb keys included. Pinky, ring, index, and inner columns splayed at 15, 5, 0, -5, -5 degrees.  SplitKB Tenting Puck support.  All PCB files are available on the [project's github page](https://github.com/tapioki/cephalopoda/tree/main/Architeuthis%20dux)

Thank you [Perce](https://madebyperce.com/) for the logo.

Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):

    make a_dux:default

See the [build environment setup](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_build_tools) and the [make instructions](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_make_guide) for more information. Brand new to QMK? Start with our [Complete Newbs Guide](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/newbs).

## Setting Handedness

Firmware uses [handedness by EEPROM](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/feature_split_keyboard?id=handedness-by-eeprom) as default and it must be *configured once* on each side. The make commands are:

    make a_dux:default:dfu-split-left
    make a_dux:default:dfu-split-right

[QMK Toolbox](http://qmk.fm/toolbox) can also be used to set EEPROM handedness. Place the controller in bootloader mode and select menu option Tools -> EEPROM -> Set Left/Right Hand

## Bootloader

Enter the bootloader in 3 ways:

* **Bootmagic reset**: Hold down the top left key on the left half (or the top right right key on the right half) and plug in the controller on that side.
* **Physical reset pins**: Briefly short the RST and GND pins on the microcontroller using tweezers, a paperclip, or any other conductive material.
* **Keycode in layout**: Press the key mapped to `RESET` if it is configured.
