A compact 65% keyboard.
|
|
|
|
Keyboard Maintainer: QMK Community
|
|
Hardware Supported: TADA68 PCB
|
|
Hardware Availability: [kbdfans](https://kbdfans.myshopify.com/products/tada68-mechanical-keyboard-gateron-swtich-65-layout-dye-sub-keycaps-cherry-profils?variant=34710238797), [kbdist](http://www.kbdist.com/)
|
|
|
|
Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
|
|
|
|
make tada68:default
|
|
|
|
See [build environment setup](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_build_tools) then the [make instructions](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_make_guide) for more information.

|
|
## Firmware Format
|
|
|
|
Out of the box the tada68 uses a .bin firmware file instead of a .hex like other custom keyboards. By default QMK will build and copy the correct .bin file for you. If for some reason you need a hex file instead, you can add `:hex` to your make command, or look inside `qmk_firmware/.build` to find the hex file.

## Flashing Instructions (Win)
|
|
|
|
*Read all the instructions, there are a few warnings of things to avoid doing to avoid bricking your Tada68. __It is much too easy to do!__*
|
|
|
|
1) from the `qmk_firmware\` directory run:
|
|
```
|
|
$ make tada68:default:flashbin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2) Connect your keyboard to Windows computer, hit the reset button on the TADA, the lights will start flashing.
|
|
|
|
3) You'll see a new drive on your computer called TADA68. Backup the original factory `FLASH.BIN` file thats inside it.
|
|
|
|
4) Delete `FLASH.BIN` from the TADA drive and copy `tada68_default.bin` that was generated at the root of the qmk directory into the TADA drive.
|
|
|
|
5) *Do not eject the USB device.* Hit ESC on the keyboard. The lights will stop flashing and your firmware is loaded!
|
|
|
|
## Flashing Instructions (Mac)
|
|
|
|
*When flashing the keyboard from a Mac, you must delete some files that are automatically created by the operating system in order to prevent bricking your keyboard.
