## Warnings
|
|
|
|
Some of the PCBs compatible with Pro Micro have VCC (3.3V) and RAW (5V) pins connected (shorted) on the pcb. Using the Proton C will short 5V power from USB and regulated 3.3V which is connected directly to the MCU. Shorting those pins may damage the MCU on the Proton C.
|
|
|
|
So far, it appears that this is only an issue on the Gherkin PCBs, but other PCBs may be affected in this way.
|
|
|
|
In this case, you may want to not hook up the RAW pin at all.
|
|
|
|
## Manual Conversion
|
|
|
|
To use the Proton C natively, without having to specify `CONVERT_TO=proton_c`, you need to change the `MCU` line in `rules.mk`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
MCU = STM32F303
|
|
BOARD = QMK_PROTON_C
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Remove these variables if they exist:
|
|
|
|
* `BOOTLOADER`
|
|
* `EXTRA_FLAGS`
|
|
|
|
Finally convert all pin assignments in `config.h` to the stm32 equivalents.

Notes:
|
|
|
|
1. On a Pro Micro VCC can be 3.3v or 5v.
|
|
2. A Proton C only has one onboard LED, not two like a Pro Micro. The Pro Micro has an RX LED on `D5` and a TX LED on `B0`.
|
|
3. `A4` is shared with the speaker.
|
|
4. `A5` is shared with the speaker.
|
|
5. `A13` and `A14` are used for hardware debugging (SWD). You can also use them for GPIO, but should use them last.
|
|
6. Short RESET to 3.3v (pull high) to reboot the MCU. This does not enter bootloader mode like a Pro Micro, it only resets the MCU.
