Dactyl Manuform (6x6) optional 5thumb cluster

Dactyl Manufrom 6x6 with 5 key thumb cluster

Description

Keyboard Maintainer: dumam for 5thumb and others
Hardware Supported: STM32F4BlackPill, Promicro and clones

Basic guide how to build 6x6 board is in root keyboard dir. This will help you to to create your own board with 6key based cluster with promicro. For more click here.

If you want to use 5thumb cluster or stm32, you also should read base guide, but please came back here after you finish 😉.

For my build I used stm32f411 black pill. It's pretty cheap board and I highly recommend you to buy one from official distributors, to support board creators. To buy it, please go into designer site.

I recommend using stm32 boards for this project, because QMK recently added support for tinyuf2 bootloader. This bootloader is great for cases where you are going to use QMK Configurator and don't want to use any command line interface. This way when you need change keyboard layout, you only need an UF2 file. Setting up board in boot mode will allow you to drag and drop it on to created STM32F flash drive.

For case I used 3D models form here. Big thanks to creators.

STM32 Usage

My fixes allows for using STM32 with all keymaps located in this dir. Please note that you need to pull down and up B10 pin. I used here 68kohm resistor. Don't use bigger one then 100kohm and lower then 10kohm. Pin you should use for this it B10. More can be found here.

Features

any board could be master one, and they can be used separately from each other
it's using full usart (4 cables), mostly due to some stability and half detection problems
easy keymaps update -> drag and drop file
pin used for rows (B12, B13, B14, B15, A8 , A9, A10) and for cols (B1, B0, A7, A6, A5, A4)

Build

See the build environment setup and the make instructions for more information. Brand new to QMK? Start with our Complete Newbs Guide. After setting up your build environment you can try to build it with those commands.

Make Promicro based img:

qmk compile -kb keyboards/handwired/dactyl_manuform/6x6 -km default

Make BlackPill one:

qmk compile -kb keyboards/handwired/dactyl_manuform/6x6/blackpill_f411 -km default

Bootloader for BlackPill

Enter the bootloader in 3 ways:

Bootmagic reset: Hold down the key at F1 for left side, and F7 for right side.
Physical reset button: Briefly press the button on the back of the PCB - some may have pads you must short instead
Keycode in layout: Press the key mapped to QK_BOOT, in dumam keymap it's assigned to F1 and F12 keys on mod layers.
