Help and Getting Started

@jessie Thank you for your support

TLDR; Factory restore successful! (Thank you)

Actions taken, for your information or for anyone that faces the same problem:-

  • grabbed the hex file.

  • I am a member of ‘dialout’

  • Without keyboardio plugged in:
    $ ls /dev/ttyACM*
    ls: cannot access ‘/dev/ttyACM*’: No such file or directory

  • With keyboardio plugged in:
    $ ls -al /dev/ttyACM*
    crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 166, 0 Nov 2 12:05 /dev/ttyACM0

  • After 8 seconds, out of curiosity:
    $ ls -al /dev/ttyACM*
    ls: cannot access ‘/dev/ttyACM*’: No such file or directory

  • Therefore safe to proceed.

The program ‘avrdude’ is currently not installed.
$ sudo apt install avrdude

Setting up avrdude (6.3-2)

$ avrdude -patmega32u4 -cavr109 -D -P /dev/ttyACM0 -b57600 -Uflash:w:atmega32u4_firmware.hex:i

avrdude done. Thank you.

  • and now I’m typing this on the keyboardio!
  • unplugged it and tried it again. Still works.
  • rebooted. Still works.
  • I will flash again later with the https://github.com/keyboardio/Model01-Firmware, but without changing the Model01-Firmware.ino
  • if that’s good I’ll try editing again. I will report back on this thread.
  • Thank you for your help
