Flexible firmware for Arduino-powered keyboards
|
|
|
|
# Getting Started
|
|
|
|
Pick a directory to work in, you'll need to clone multiple repositories. We'll assume you picked `$HOME/kaleidoscope`, if you chose another adapt the commands below accordingly.
|
|
|
|
## Setup the Arduino IDE
|
|
|
|
Setup the Arduino IDE on your system. Make sure you install at least version 1.6, since older version may not support all required features.
|
|
|
|
* On Linux, follow the instructions [on the wiki](https://github.com/keyboardio/Kaleidoscope/wiki/Arduino-Setup-Linux).
|
|
* On macOS, install using [homebrew](http://brew.sh/) [cask](https://caskroom.github.io/) with `brew cask install arduino` or download the application from [the official website](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software) and move it to your `/Applications` folder.

## Install the Kaleidoscope Hardware Definitions
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# you'll need to know your arduino sketchbook directory
|
|
|
|
# on macOS the default is
|
|
SKETCHBOOK_DIR=$HOME/Documents/Arduino
|
|
# on Linux the default is
|
|
SKETCHBOOK_DIR=$HOME/Arduino
|
|
|
|
# go to your kaleidoscope directory
|
|
cd $HOME/kaleidoscope
|
|
# then clone the hardware definitions
|
|
git clone --recursive https://github.com/keyboardio/Arduino-Boards.git
|
|
# and make them available to the arduino environment
|
|
mkdir -p $SKETCHBOOK_DIR/hardware/kaleidoscope
|
|
ln -s $HOME/kaleidoscope/Arduino-Boards $SKETCHBOOK_DIR/hardware/kaleidoscope/avr
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Clone and Build the Kaleidoscope Firmware
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# go to your keyboardio directory
|
|
cd $HOME/kaleidoscope
|
|
# then clone the firmware repository
|
|
git clone https://github.com/keyboardio/Kaleidoscope.git
