I have just purchased my first M01 and I want to change the keymap to Dvorak.

Looking at the [introduction](https://github.com/keyboardio/Kaleidoscope/wiki/Keyboardio-Model-01-Introduction), I have setup the directory and cloned the Git avr and firmware repositories to my local machine.

I also installed the `arduino` package which installed the Arduino IDE 1.8.5. following the [linux instructions](https://github.com/keyboardio/Kaleidoscope/wiki/Install-arduino-support-on-linux).

Do we still need to disable ModemManager to stop it interfering with the keyboard connection?

Either disable it, or copy the udev rules as the instructions suggest. The udev rules tell MM not to jump on the keyboards serial port, while it can still do its thing otherwise.

Thanks. I must have missed that part, I’ll have another read through again.
