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.
