Firmware build guide

Keyball46 have separate firmwares for each of PCBs w/ trackball and w/o trackball. You can build those with this commands in root of QMK firmware source tree.

$ make keyball/rev1/ball:via
$ make keyball/rev1/noball:via

You will get two files:

  • keyball_rev1_ball_via.hex - Trackball PCB firmware with VIA support.
  • keyball_rev1_noball_via.hex - No trackball PCB firmware with VIA support.

Write each firmwares to correct PCB's Pro Micro.

In generally, you can build fimwares with this command.

$ make keyball/rev1/ball:{YOUR_FAVORITE_KEYMAP}
$ make keyball/rev1/noball:{YOUR_FAVORITE_KEYMAP}
