Custom keymap and lighting themes for Drop ALT keyboard

qmk-drop-alt ⌨️

This is a custom QMK keymap and lighting firmware for Drop ALT keyboards.

Usage

Go to Releases and download the binary file. You can use either QMK Toolbox or mdloader to flash your keyboard.

Compiling from source

If you don't trust the binary release, you can also build from source. If you plan on making modifications to the keymap or lighting programs, this will be mandatory.

Prerequisites

You will need qmk CLI tool in order to build the firmware. Please read Setting Up Your QMK Environment and set up your QMK build environment before getting started.

Getting Started

Navigate to QMK home directory. On default installs, this should generally be at: $HOME/qmk_firmware.

Configure your build environment and set your keyboard as Drop ALT:

qmk config user.keyboard=massdrop/alt

Then, add this repository into keyboards/massdrop/alt/keymaps as a submodule:

cd keyboards/massdrop/alt/keymaps
git submodule add https://github.com/AndrewJo/qmk-drop-alt AndrewJo/

If you plan on modifying the code, please fork this repository first and replace the repository path accordingly.

You can now build the firmware:

qmk compile

This will create a binary file that is named as massdrop_alt_AndrewJo.bin.

You can flash this binary using the tools mentioned in the Usage section above.

qmk-drop-alt's Issues

Errors when compiling using latest qmk

Hopefully I'm just doing something wrong, but I can build the default keymap, mac keymap, and a Github repo for the pleasuretek keymap, but when I try to build this keymap, I get a bunch of errors. Also, I did attempt to follow the instructions to run qmk compile int he keymap directory, but I got a qmk usage error with that. Any idea what might be happening here?

Attempt to run qmk compile:

qmk compile
☒ You must supply a configurator export, both `--keyboard` and `--keymap`, or be in a directory for a keyboard or keymap.
usage: qmk compile [-h] [--compiledb] [-c] [-e ENV] [-j PARALLEL] [-n] [-km KEYMAP] [-kb KEYBOARD] [filename]

positional arguments:
  filename              The configurator export to compile

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --compiledb           Generates the clang compile_commands.json file during build. Implies --clean.
  -c, --clean           Remove object files before compiling.
  -e ENV, --env ENV     Set a variable to be passed to make. May be passed multiple times.
  -j PARALLEL, --parallel PARALLEL
                        Set the number of parallel make jobs; 0 means unlimited.
  -n, --dry-run         Don't actually build, just show the make command to be run.
  -km KEYMAP, --keymap KEYMAP
                        The keymap to build a firmware for. Ignored when a configurator export is supplied.
  -kb KEYBOARD, --keyboard KEYBOARD
                        The keyboard to build a firmware for. Ignored when a configurator export is supplied.

Attempt to run make massdrop/alt:AndrewJo (same way I build everything else that works):

make massdrop/alt:AndrewJo
QMK Firmware 0.6.103
WARNING:
 Some git sub-modules are out of date or modified, please consider running:

 You can ignore this warning if you are not compiling any ChibiOS keyboards,
 or if you have modified the ChibiOS libraries yourself.

SmartEEPROM functionality

HI, I'm really enjoying your custom firmware, the only downside is that it doesn't support the new SmartEEPROM functionality for this keyboard. Is there any chance you could update your firmware to support this? Thanks - Iain
