On the QMK MSYS how do i switch from the Master branch to the wireless_playground ? my keyboard is in wireless_playground, but qmk only download the master branch
i made my own pcb and keymaped it with keyboard firmware builder, I downloaded the hex file and flashed the keyboard. The keyboard works, but I will need to edit the source files to get my rotary encoder and oled screen working. I have edited them but I don't know how to compile the edited source file to hex. Please help.
There are far better people to ask than me in the mechanical keyboard, OLKB, and QMK communities, but I'll offer what I can. To compile a keymap in QMK, after you set up the environment to do so, you need to run 'qmk -compile -kb "KEYBOARD_FOLDER" -km "KEYMAP_NAME" and, assuming there are no errors, that will do it. My "Using and Building QMK and VIA" article linked to in the video description includes some of the relevant information, but there might be more involved because of your custom PCB.
Yes it is, though that is something beyond me. There is some information on VIA's website but you can also check out @MechMerlin as he does such porting and even streams it for others to learn from. Here's the latest RUclips video: ruclips.net/video/roGqdzGZMaY/видео.html
The folder itself is on GitHub (github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware) but the "qmk setup" command to install it should download it for you. You can learn more in the official documentation (docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_github) and I cover it in the article this video relates to (www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/cmk_qmk_via/5.htm).
Thank you so much!!. It is a good guide .

While I have no experience with MSYS, the command for changing git branches is 'checkout' so you may want to try 'git checkout wireless_playground'.

Hi, is it possible to add via to a custom keyboard, that is not on the supported list?

Thank you very much. This is very helpful.
Where to downloadl that qmk_firmware folder?
