James Young a03aa301de Remove Full Bootmagic (#13846 ) * disambiguate Bootmagic rules in keymaps The files edited by this commit were added at a point in time where `BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE = yes` enabled full Bootmagic. This commit edits the files to specify that full Bootmagic is intended. * remove BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE=full setting * unify commented BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE rules in keyboards Explicitly sets `BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE = no` in keyboards where the rule was commented out. Command: ``` find keyboards/ -type f -name 'rules.mk' -and -not -path '/keymaps/' -exec sed -i -e 's;#[ \t]\(BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE\)[ \t=]\+\([a-zA-Z]\+\).;\1 = no # Virtual DIP switch configuration;g' {} + ``` * remove commented Bootmagic rules from keymap/user level Command: ``` find keyboards/ layouts/ users/ -type f -name 'rules.mk' -exec sed -i -e '/#.\(BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE\)[ \t=]\+\([a-z]\+\)./d' {} + ``` * update keyboard BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE rule formatting Sets the formatting of BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE rules to `BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE = [value]`, without the inline comments (which will be replaced later). Command: ``` find keyboards/ -type f -name 'rules.mk' -and -not -path '/keymaps/' -exec sed -i -e 's;\(BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE\)[ \t=]\+\([a-z]\+\).;\1 = \2;g' '{}' + ``` update keyboards' BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE settings Updates keyboard `rules.mk` files to use `BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE = lite` where `BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE = full` was being used. Command: ``` find keyboards/ -type f -name 'rules.mk' -and -not -path '/keymaps/' -exec sed -i -e 's;\(BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE = \)full;\1lite;g' '{}' + ``` * update keymap/user BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE settings Updates keymap/user `rules.mk` files to use `BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE = lite` where `BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE = full` was being used. Commands: ``` find keyboards/ -type f -name 'rules.mk' -and -path '/keymaps/' -exec sed -i -e 's;\(BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE[ \t=]\+\)full;\1lite;g' '{}' + find layouts/community/ users/ -type f -name 'rules.mk' -exec sed -i -e 's;\(BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE[ \t=]\+\)full;\1lite;g' '{}' + ``` * remove and replace inline comments in keyboards and keymap/user files Removes and replaces the inline comments, which have been updated to read `Enable Bootmagic Lite`. Commands: ``` find keyboards/ -type f -name 'rules.mk' -and -path '/keymaps/' -exec sed -i -e 's;\(BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE\)[ \t=]\+\([a-z]\+\).;\1 = \2;g' '{}' + find layouts/community/ users/ -type f -name 'rules.mk' -exec sed -i -e 's;\(BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE\)[ \t=]\+\([a-z]\+\).;\1 = \2;g' '{}' + find keyboards/ layouts/community/ users/ -type f -name 'rules.mk' -exec sed -i -e 's;\(BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE = lite\);\1 # Enable Bootmagic Lite;g' '{}' + find keyboards/ layouts/community/ users/ -type f -name 'rules.mk' -exec sed -i -e 's;\(BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE = yes\);\1 # Enable Bootmagic Lite;g' '{}' + find keyboards/ layouts/community/ users/ -type f -name 'rules.mk' -exec sed -i -e 's;\(BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE = no\);\1 # Enable Bootmagic Lite;g' '{}' + ``` * rename improperly named makefiles Some files intended to be used as makefiles had improper names causing them to not be used as intended when building. This commit corrects the filenames of the affected files. * update renamed file with new rule formatting * update QMK's template files Updates QMK's `rules.mk` templates to use the new inline comment. * update QMK Docs - remove documentation of full Bootmagic - update links to Bootmagic Lite doc - add doc for Magic Keycodes * rules.mk patch for coarse/ixora and coarse/vinta		2021-08-06 23:59:56 -07:00

Dactyl with Arduino Pro Micro

See https://github.com/adereth/dactyl-keyboard for the original Version.

This Dactyl uses the Arduino Pro Mirco (2x). Wiring is a 6x6 Matrix like the Dactyl Manuform

Build the Firmware:

Build the firmware with make handwired/dactyl_promicro:<keymapname>, for example make handwired/dactyl:default
This will result in a hex file called handwired_dactyl_promicro_<keymapname>.hex, e.g. handwired_dactyl_promicro_default.hex

How to setup your build enviroment can be found here: Installing Build Tools

Required Hardware

Apart from diodes and key switches for the keyboard matrix in each half, you will need:

2 Arduino Pro Micros. You can find these on AliExpress for ≈3.50USD each.
2 TRRS sockets and 1 TRRS cable, or 2 TRS sockets and 1 TRS cable

Alternatively, you can use any sort of cable and socket that has at least 3 wires. If you want to use I2C to communicate between halves, you will need a cable with at least 4 wires and 2x 4.7kΩ pull-up resistors

Optional Hardware

A speaker can be hooked-up to either side to the 5 (C6) pin and GND, and turned on via AUDIO_ENABLE.

Wiring

The 3 wires of the TRS/TRRS cable need to connect GND, VCC, and digital pin 3 (i.e. PD0 on the ATmega32u4) between the two Pro Micros.

Next, wire your key matrix to any of the remaining 17 IO pins of the pro micro and modify the matrix.c accordingly.

The wiring for serial:

The wiring for i2c:

The pull-up resistors may be placed on either half. It is also possible to use 4 resistors and have the pull-ups in both halves, but this is unnecessary in simple use cases.

You can change your configuration between serial and i2c by modifying your config.h file.

Notes on Software Configuration

the keymaps in here are for the 4x5 layout of the keyboard only.

Flashing

To flash your firmware take a look at: Flashing Instructions and Bootloader Information.

Under Windows the most convenient way is installing the QMK Drivers and use the QMK Toolbox.

Choosing which board to plug the USB cable into (choosing Master)

Setting the right or left 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

 #define MASTER_LEFT

Notes on Using Pro Micro 3.3V

Do update the F_CPU parameter in rules.mk to 8000000 which reflects the frequency on the 3.3V board.

Also, if the slave board is producing weird characters in certain columns, update the following line in matrix.c to the following:

// _delay_us(30);  // without this wait read unstable value.
_delay_us(300);  // without this wait read unstable value.
