-Files are available here: https://github.com/xyxjj/DeltaSplit75-Case-files

|
-
|
|
|
-## First Time Setup
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Download or clone the whole firmware and navigate to the keyboards/DeltaSplit75 directory. Once your dev env is setup, you'll be able to generate the default .hex using:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-```
|
|
|
-make v2
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-or
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-make protosplit-protosplit (if you have one of the prototype PCBs)
|
|
|
-```
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-You will see a lot of output and if everything worked correctly you will see the built hex files:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-```
|
|
|
-deltasplit75_protosplit_protosplit.hex
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-or
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-deltasplit75_v2_default.hex
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-```
|
|
|
-
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
-### DeltaSplit75 V2
|
|
|
-The PCBs available in groupbuy are all v2, if you've bought one of my prototype PCBs (it says DeltaSplit65 on the silkscreen instead of 75), use the code make ProtoSplit-ProtoSplit instead
|

|
|
-Features
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-For the full Quantum Mechanical Keyboard feature list, see [the parent readme.md](/readme.md).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Some features supported by the firmware:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-* Either half can connect to the computer via USB, or both halves can be used
|
|
|
- independently.
|
|
|
-* 75% formfactor
|
|
|
-* Support for multiple Bottom Rows
|
|
|
-* RGB underglow support
|
|
|
-* Split Backspace and ISO support
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Flashing
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
-I personally use xLoader to upload my hex files to the keyboard, though any other working software is fine too
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-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:eeprom-lefthand.eep
|
|
|
-// or the equivalent in dfu-programmer
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-```
|
|
|
-and similarly for right half
|
|
|
-```
|
|
|
-avrdude -p atmega32u4 -P $(COM_PORT) -c avr109 -U eeprom:w:eeprom-righhand.eep
|
|
|
-// or the equivalent in dfu-programmer
|
|
|
-```
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-NOTE: replace `$(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.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-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.
|
|
|
-```
