Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Rules
Keep it ergo
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)
i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²
¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

Yeah it was my first time with QMK as well. You can try emailing the creator they are really nice.
You need to you need to use git to clone his branch of QMK then follow GMKs instructions to make the build enviroment. Once you have that setup run the make command. Then to flash the firmware you hold down the boot button while plugging in the keyboard. Just drag the uf2 file into the microcontrollers drive that shows up.
Ok, that already helps - I know uf2 files and now to get them over from kmk. But need to work on making it create that u2f file :-)
Let me know if you run into any more issues. Also make post we all want to see new builds :)
