![not_so_minidox]()
|
|
|
|
A slightly larger version of the MiniDox
|
|
|
|
Keyboard Maintainer: mtdjr
|
|
Hardware Supported: None yet/ProMicro
|
|
|
|
Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
|
|
|
|
make not_so_minidox/rev1:default
|
|
|
|
See [build environment setup](https://docs.qmk.fm/build_environment_setup.html) then the [make instructions](https://docs.qmk.fm/make_instructions.html) for more information.

Flashing
|
|
-------
|
|
Note: Most of this is copied from the Let's Split readme, because it is awesome
|
|
|
|
From the root directory run `make PROJECT:KEYMAP:avrdude` for automatic serial port resolution and flashing.
|
|
Example: `make not_so_minidox/rev1:default:avrdude`
|
|
|
|
Choosing which board to plug the USB cable into (choosing Master)
|
|
--------
|
|
Because the two boards are identical, the firmware has logic to differentiate the left and right board.
|
|
|
|
It uses two strategies to figure things out: look at the EEPROM (memory on the chip) or looks if the current board has the usb cable.
|
|
|
|
The EEPROM approach requires additional setup (flashing the eeeprom) but allows you to swap the usb cable to either side.
|
|
|
|
The USB cable approach is easier to setup and if you just want the usb cable on the left board, you do not need to do anything extra.
|
|
|
|
### Setting the left hand as master
|
|
If you always plug the usb cable into the left board, nothing extra is needed as this is the default. Comment out `EE_HANDS` and comment out `I2C_MASTER_RIGHT` or `MASTER_RIGHT` if for some reason it was set.
|
|
|
|
### Setting the right hand as master
|
|
If you always plug the usb cable into the right board, add an extra flag to your `config.h`
|
|
```
|
|
#define MASTER_RIGHT
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Setting EE_hands to use either hands as master
|
|
If you define `EE_HANDS` in your `config.h`, you will need to set the
|
|
EEPROM for the left and right halves.
|
|
|
|
The EEPROM is used to store whether the
|
|
half is left handed or right handed. This makes it so that the same firmware
|
|
file will run on both hands instead of having to flash left and right handed
|
|
versions of the firmware to each half. To flash the EEPROM file for the left
|
|
half run:
|
|
```
|
|
avrdude -p atmega32u4 -P $(COM_PORT) -c avr109 -U eeprom:w:"./quantum/split_common/eeprom-lefthand.eep"
|
|
// or the equivalent in dfu-programmer
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
and similarly for right half
|
|
```
|
|
avrdude -p atmega32u4 -P $(COM_PORT) -c avr109 -U eeprom:w:"./quantum/split_common/eeprom-righthand.eep"
|
|
// or the equivalent in dfu-programmer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
NOTE: replace `$(COM_PORT)` with the port of your device (e.g. `/dev/ttyACM0`)
|
|
|
|
After you have flashed the EEPROM, you then need to set `EE_HANDS` in your config.h, rebuild the hex files and reflash.
|
|
|
|
Note that you need to program both halves, but you have the option of using
|
|
different keymaps for each half. You could program the left half with a QWERTY
|
|
layout and the right half with a Colemak layout using bootmagic's default layout option.
|
|
Then if you connect the left half to a computer by USB the keyboard will use QWERTY and Colemak when the
|
|
right half is connected.
