## Installing and Building
-First, install the requirements. These commands are for OSX, but all you
-need is the AVR toolchain and `bootloadHID` for flashing:
-
-```
-$ brew cask install crosspack-avr
-$ brew install --HEAD https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robertgzr/homebrew-tap/master/bootloadhid.rb
-```
-
-In order to use the `./program` script, which can reboot the board into
-the bootloader, you'll need Python 2 with PyUSB installed:
-
-```
-$ pip install pyusb
-```
+Since the YMD96 uses an ATmega32a chip instead of the 32u4, you need to download [HIDBootFlash v.1.0](http://vusb.wikidot.com/project:hidbootflash) for Windows. If anyone knows of a Linux/Mac bootflasher that works, edit this readme!
+On Windows, I use [MINGw](http://www.mingw.org/) to compile the keymaps. On Linux, you can simply use the terminal.
+Once you have those two pieces of software:
Build the keyboard with
```
-$ make ymd96:default
+$ make ymd96-default
```
If you make your own layout, change the `default` word to whatever your layout is.
+And flash the compiled hex file with `HIDBootFlash`. Simply put the board in flashing mode by plugging it in while holding control, and click `find device`. Then you can specify the .hex file and flash it to the device.
