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. -``` |
