|
|
|
A compact ortholinear/staggered keyboard.
|
|
|
|
Keyboard Maintainer: QMK Community
|
|
Hardware Supported: mechmini PCB
|
|
Hardware Availability: https://mechkeys.ca/collections/keyboards/products/mechmini-2-0-pcb
|
|
|
|
Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
|
|
|
|
make mechmini:default
|
|
|
|
See [build environment setup](https://docs.qmk.fm/build_environment_setup.html) then the [make instructions](https://docs.qmk.fm/make_instructions.html) for more information.

## Mechmini Notes
|
|
|
|
Note that this is a complete replacement for the firmware, so you won't be
|
|
using Bootmapper Client to change any keyboard settings, since not all the
|
|
USB report options are supported.
|
|
|
|
## Installing
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then, with the keyboard plugged in, simply run this command from the
|
|
`qmk_firmware` directory:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ make mechmini:program
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you prefer, you can just build it and flash the firmware directly with
|
|
`bootloadHID` if you boot the board while holding down `L_Ctrl` to keep it
|
|
in the bootloader:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ make mechmini
|
|
$ bootloadHID -r mechmini_default.hex
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
From my experience, it's really hard to brick these boards. But these
|
|
tricks have been useful when it got stuck in a weird scenario.
|
|
|
|
1. Try plugging the board in while pressing `L_Ctrl`. This will force it
|
|
to boot only the bootloader without loading the firmware. Once this is
|
|
done, just reflash the board with the original firmware.
|
|
2. Sometimes USB hubs can act weird, so try connecting the board directly
|
|
to your computer or plugging/unplugging the USB hub.
