-Dactyl Manuform 5x6
+Dactyl Manuform (4x5, 5x6, 5x7, 6x6)
======
the [Dactyl-Manuform](https://github.com/tshort/dactyl-keyboard) is a split curved keyboard based on the design of [adereth dactyl](https://github.com/adereth/dactyl-keyboard) and thumb cluster design of the [manuform](https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=46015.0) keyboard, the hardware is similar to the let's split keyboard. all information needed for making one is in the first link.
Download or clone the `qmk_firmware` repo and navigate to its top level directory. Once your build environment is setup, you'll be able to generate the default .hex using:
+Depending on your Layout chose one of the follwing commands:
+
+```
+$ make handwired/dactyl_manuform/YOUR_LAYOUT:YOUR_KEYMAP_NAME
+```
+
+example:
```
-$ make handwired/dactyl_manuform/5x6:YOUR_KEYMAP_NAME
+$ make handwired/dactyl_manuform/4x5:default
```
If everything worked correctly you will see a file:
```
-dactyl_manuform_5x6_YOUR_KEYMAP_NAME.hex
+dactyl_manuform_YOUR_LAYOUT_YOUR_KEYMAP_NAME.hex
```
For more information on customizing keymaps, take a look at the primary documentation for [Customizing Your Keymap](/docs/faq_keymap.md) in the main readme.md.

## Keymaps
-Currently there are only two keymaps: Qwerty and Dvorak, feel free to make changes and contribute your keymap.
-### Impstyle
+### [Keymaps 4x5](/keyboards/handwired/dactyl_manuform/4x5/keymaps/)
+
+#### Default
+Simple QWERTY layout with 3 Layers.
+#### Dvorak
+
+### [Keymaps 5x6](/keyboards/handwired/dactyl_manuform/5x6/keymaps/)
+
+#### Default
+Just a copy of the Impstyle keymap. Feel free to adjust it.
+#### Impstyle
+A simple QWERTY keymap with 3 Layers. Both sides are connected via serial and the Left ist the master.

+
+## Required Hardware
Apart from diodes and key switches for the keyboard matrix in each half, you
will need:
wires. If you want to use I2C to communicate between halves, you will need a
cable with at least 4 wires and 2x 4.7kΩ pull-up resistors
-Optional Hardware
------------------
+## Optional Hardware
A speaker can be hooked-up to either side to the `5` (`C6`) pin and `GND`, and turned on via `AUDIO_ENABLE`.
-Wiring
-------
+## Wiring
The 3 wires of the TRS/TRRS cable need to connect GND, VCC, and digital pin 3 (i.e.
PD0 on the ATmega32u4) between the two Pro Micros.
You can change your configuration between serial and i2c by modifying your `config.h` file.
-Notes on Software Configuration
--------------------------------
+## Notes on Software Configuration
the keymaps in here are for the 4x5 layout of the keyboard only.
-Flashing
--------
-From the top level `qmk_firmware` directory run `make KEYBOARD:KEYMAP:avrdude` for automatic serial port resolution and flashing.
-Example: `make lets_split/rev2:default:avrdude`
+## Flashing
+
+To flash your firmware take a look at: [Flashing Instructions and Bootloader Information](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/flashing)
-Choosing which board to plug the USB cable into (choosing Master)
---------
+## Choosing which board to plug the USB cable into (choosing Master)
+
Because the two boards are identical, the firmware has logic to differentiate the left and right board.
It uses two strategies to figure things out: looking at the EEPROM (memory on the chip) or looking if the current board has the usb cable.
The USB cable approach is easier to setup and if you just want the usb cable on the left board, you do not need to do anything extra.
### Setting the left hand as master
+
If you always plug the usb cable into the left board, nothing extra is needed as this is the default. Comment out `EE_HANDS` and comment out `I2C_MASTER_RIGHT` or `MASTER_RIGHT` if for some reason it was set.
### Setting the right hand as master
+
If you always plug the usb cable into the right board, add an extra flag to your `config.h`
```
#define MASTER_RIGHT
```
### Setting EE_hands to use either hands as master
+
If you define `EE_HANDS` in your `config.h`, you will need to set the
EEPROM for the left and right halves.
versions of the firmware to each half. To flash the EEPROM file for the left
half run:
```
-avrdude -p atmega32u4 -P $(COM_PORT) -c avr109 -U eeprom:w:eeprom-lefthand.eep
+avrdude -p atmega32u4 -P $(COM_PORT) -c avr109 -U eeprom:w:"./quantum/split_common/eeprom-lefthand.eep"
// or the equivalent in dfu-programmer
```
and similarly for right half
```
-avrdude -p atmega32u4 -P $(COM_PORT) -c avr109 -U eeprom:w:eeprom-righhand.eep
+avrdude -p atmega32u4 -P $(COM_PORT) -c avr109 -U eeprom:w:"./quantum/split_common/eeprom-righthand.eep"
// or the equivalent in dfu-programmer
```
