Hi,
I carefully followed the tutorial using the arduino ide, and i succeeded in removing some of the extra LED effects that I don’t want, by uploading modified firmware that strips them out (I also removed all keymaps except qwerty, as that’s the only one i’m interested in currently). However, when I map the Prog key to “Key_Escape”, verify and upload, the key does not remap. I also tried remapping Key_1 to Key_4, it uploads fine, but the keyboard still types 1, not 4 as in the firmware which appeared to have uploaded successfully. This is strange because I was able to strip some of the LED effects so something is clearly updating. I also tried the same with the default firmware (i.e., with none of my changes re. stripping out LED effects), and changed only the blank Prog to Esc, and Key_1 to Key_4, but neither are reflected in operation of the keyboard after seeming to successfully upload in arduino ide, the keyboard flashed red and responded with done uploading - prog does not produce esc and key 1 is still key 1, and not key 4.
I’m on latest Catalina and latest ardiuno ide.
How should I proceed?
Update: I was playing about with Chrysalis, (not sure what exactly this is doing) and managed to change prog to the number 2 and the keyboard now responds with that, so this method has somehow had an impact. But if I understand correctly, Chrysalis is still alpha.
Update 2: I’ve found that in Chrysalis all I need to do is “save changes”, in the bottom right, and that effectively does the upload, flashing the firmware (though this seems very fast in comparison to the time taken with the arduino method). Using this method I’m getting success in remapping keys.
Thanks
Mike
