Dactyl Manuform (4x5, 5x6, 5x7, 6x6) |
|
|
|
====== |
|
|
|
the [Dactyl-Manuform](https://github.com/tshort/dactyl-keyboard) is a split curved keyboard based on the design of [adereth dactyl](https://github.com/adereth/dactyl-keyboard) and thumb cluster design of the [manuform](https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=46015.0) keyboard, the hardware is similar to the let's split keyboard. all information needed for making one is in the first link. |

|
|
|
## First Time Setup |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Download or clone the `qmk_firmware` repo and navigate to its top level directory. Once your build environment is setup, you'll be able to generate the default .hex using: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Depending on your Layout chose one of the follwing commands: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
$ make handwired/dactyl_manuform/YOUR_LAYOUT:YOUR_KEYMAP_NAME |
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
example: |
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
$ make handwired/dactyl_manuform/4x5:default |
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If everything worked correctly you will see a file: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
dactyl_manuform_YOUR_LAYOUT_YOUR_KEYMAP_NAME.hex |
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For more information on customizing keymaps, take a look at the primary documentation for [Customizing Your Keymap](/docs/faq_keymap.md) in the main readme.md. |

## 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`. |
|
|
|
# Tractyl Manuform (4x6, 5x6) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 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. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
![i2c wiring](https://i.imgur.com/Hbzhc6E.png) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/flashing) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 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: looking at the EEPROM (memory on the chip) or looking if the current board has the usb cable. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The EEPROM approach requires additional setup (flashing the eeprom) 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 |
|
|
|
the [Dactyl-Manuform](https://github.com/tshort/dactyl-keyboard) is a split curved keyboard based on the design of [adereth dactyl](https://github.com/adereth/dactyl-keyboard) and thumb cluster design of the [manuform](https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=46015.0) keyboard, the hardware is similar to the let's split keyboard. all information needed for making one is in the first link. |
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you define `EE_HANDS` in your `config.h`, you will need to set the |
|
|
|
EEPROM for the left and right halves. |
|
|
|
* Keyboard Maintainer: [drashna](https://github.com/drashna) |
|
|
|
* Hardware Supported: Teensy 2.0++, WeAct BlackPill F411 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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: |
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
make handwired/dactyl_promicro:default:dfu-split-left |
|
|
|
make handwired/dactyl_promicro:default:dfu-split-right |
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment): |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After you have flashed the EEPROM, you then need to set `EE_HANDS` in your config.h, rebuild the hex files and reflash. |
|
|
|
make handwired/tractyl_manuform/5x6_right/f411/drashna:default |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
Flashing example for this keyboard: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
make handwired/tractyl_manuform/5x6_right/f411/drashna:default:flash |

Notes on Using Pro Micro 3.3V |
|
|
|
----------------------------- |
|
|
|
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). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Do update the `F_CPU` parameter in `rules.mk` to `8000000` which reflects |
|
|
|
the frequency on the 3.3V board. |
|
|
|
## Bootloader |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also, if the slave board is producing weird characters in certain columns, |
|
|
|
update the following line in `matrix.c` to the following: |
|
|
|
Enter the bootloader in 3 ways: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
// wait_us(30); // without this wait read unstable value. |
|
|
|
wait_us(300); // without this wait read unstable value. |
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
* **Bootmagic reset**: Hold down the key at (0,0) in the matrix (usually the top left key or Escape) and plug in the keyboard |
|
|
|
* **Physical reset button**: Briefly press the button on the back of the PCB - some may have pads you must short instead |
|
|
|
* **Keycode in layout**: Press the key mapped to `RESET` if it is available |
