Building a dactyl right now. This is super helpful! Got me to revisit the qmk docs and I had the aha moment for how the config works. :) Hope you're doing well Sean!
where do we find documentation on the pre-defined functions? I'm trying to make my think6.5 toggle the LED whenever I am in another layer but can't seem to find an any example.
I'm really confused by the bracket notation around the layer assignment. For example [_QWERTY] = KEYMAP( ... What is going on here? Can someone explain to me? It's driving me nuts.
Thanks. Yeah I meanted that in the previous video however when I use windows I'm on 8.1 so I still need a vm flashing in windows. According to the steam survey less than half of all computers use windows 10 as well.
is it possible to set the shift key to a setting where only the next letter will be capitalized after you press the shift key? i am trying to avoid having to hold down shift and a letter at the same
This would be useful. Would be cool if the shift lights up when it's "active" and turn off when it's "unactive" after pressing the shift again or a letter. Just like those scientific calculators but with leds to indicate it.
Id love youto explain how to add a rotary encoder to the key map, im trying to make various encoders to get a nice one for video editing (scrubbing through the timeline). Ive made a gorgeous magnetic encoder with smooth action, but at the mo its onky working on its own usb pro micro (using arduino programming). Cheers great video
Way confused, but not your fault. One question tho - there are technically two keyboards to flash with a let's split (they both have controllers), so do you flash them both with the same firmware? How do you differentiate between left and right?
here is the most complete docs I know of on that. github.com/seoushi/qmk_firmware/blob/master/keyboards/lets_split/readme.md . Whenever you do a "make rev2-default" it will spit out two files (one for each half) and you have to flash each individually. By default the right half is the master (the one to plug the usb into) but you can change that if you want (take a look at the link above for more info on that).
For the xd75 it looks like it doesn't have a default target. So you would have to specify your target such as "make xd75-default-dfu " . For more information the readme for that keyboard can be found here github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/keyboards/xd75/readme.md .
I felt the same way. It's good, but it took me a lot of searching online and asking around in r/mk to finally get to a place where I can at least generate the default layouts. Now I have to learn how to edit those and make what I actually want. Fingers crossed!

Dude thanks so much for this video. I had just spent hours and hours messing with this stuff but this made it easy to understand. Thanks again
Can u make an in depth guide about functions? qmk documentation is frustratingly limited on this topic

You did it again Sean, best video on QMK :) However, Windows 10 now supports ubuntu bash, so it's worth doing that instead of using a VM imo...
Thanks. Yeah I meanted that in the previous video however when I use windows I'm on 8.1 so I still need a vm flashing in windows. According to the steam survey less than half of all computers use windows 10 as well.
Good point, I guess the VM approach is the most universal

Hi @Chokkan, I want to know if is possible make a firmware for a specific program, like trading program?
yes there's HID support through VIA
Why do you need a Linux VM for that? Shouldn't one be able to set up the same dev environment on Windows too?

Sean Chapel many thanks!
Thanks for the video! I'm making an xd75 instead and when I try to use the make command it tells me
make: *** No rule to make target 'default'. Stop.
For the xd75 it looks like it doesn't have a default target. So you would have to specify your target such as "make xd75-default-dfu
" . For more information the readme for that keyboard can be found here github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/keyboards/xd75/readme.md .
aah I figured it out, thanks very much for your two guides though! I found the documentation from qmk too hard to follow
I felt the same way. It's good, but it took me a lot of searching online and asking around in r/mk to finally get to a place where I can at least generate the default layouts. Now I have to learn how to edit those and make what I actually want. Fingers crossed!
Yeah, the wording in the docs is hard to follow.
The link the description is a bit faulty, I think you copied it while in creator mode, use ruclips.net/video/_-L0EsyLXio/видео.html&t=, cheers!
