-Dactyl Manuform (4x5, 5x6, 5x7, 6x6)
-======
-the [Dactyl-Manuform](https://github.com/tshort/dactyl-keyboard) is a split curved keyboard based on the design of [adereth dactyl](https://github.com/adereth/dactyl-keyboard) and thumb cluster design of the [manuform](https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=46015.0) keyboard, the hardware is similar to the let's split keyboard. all information needed for making one is in the first link.

-
-## First Time Setup
-
-Download or clone the `qmk_firmware` repo and navigate to its top level directory. Once your build environment is setup, you'll be able to generate the default .hex using:
-
-Depending on your Layout chose one of the follwing commands:
-
-```
-$ make handwired/dactyl_manuform/YOUR_LAYOUT:YOUR_KEYMAP_NAME
-```
-
-example:
-```
-$ make handwired/dactyl_manuform/4x5:default
-```
-
-If everything worked correctly you will see a file:
-
-```
-dactyl_manuform_YOUR_LAYOUT_YOUR_KEYMAP_NAME.hex
-```
-
-For more information on customizing keymaps, take a look at the primary documentation for [Customizing Your Keymap](/docs/faq_keymap.md) in the main readme.md.
-
-
-## Keymaps
-
-### [Keymaps 4x5](/keyboards/handwired/dactyl_manuform/4x5/keymaps/)
-
-#### Default
-Simple QWERTY layout with 3 Layers.
-#### Dvorak
-
-### [Keymaps 5x6](/keyboards/handwired/dactyl_manuform/5x6/keymaps/)
-
-#### Default
-Just a copy of the Impstyle keymap. Feel free to adjust it.
-
-#### Impstyle
-A simple QWERTY keymap with 3 Layers. Both sides are connected via serial and the Left ist the master.
-
-### [Keymaps 5x7 aka almost Ergodox](/keyboards/handwired/dactyl_manuform/5x7/keymaps/)
-#### Default
-Keymap of Loligagger from geekhack.
-
-### [Keymaps 6x6](/keyboards/handwired/dactyl_manuform/6x6/keymaps/)
-
-#### Default
-Simple QWERTY layout with 3 Layers.
-
-## Required Hardware
-
-Apart from diodes and key switches for the keyboard matrix in each half, you
-will need:
-
-* 2 Arduino Pro Micros. You can find these on AliExpress for ≈3.50USD each.
-* 2 TRRS sockets and 1 TRRS cable, or 2 TRS sockets and 1 TRS cable
-
-Alternatively, you can use any sort of cable and socket that has at least 3
-wires. If you want to use I2C to communicate between halves, you will need a
-cable with at least 4 wires and 2x 4.7kΩ pull-up resistors
-
-## Optional Hardware
-A speaker can be hooked-up to either side to the `5` (`C6`) pin and `GND`, and turned on via `AUDIO_ENABLE`.
+# Tractyl Manuform (4x6, 5x6)
-## Wiring
-
-The 3 wires of the TRS/TRRS cable need to connect GND, VCC, and digital pin 3 (i.e.
-PD0 on the ATmega32u4) between the two Pro Micros.
-
-Next, wire your key matrix to any of the remaining 17 IO pins of the pro micro
-and modify the `matrix.c` accordingly.
-
-The wiring for serial:

-
-The wiring for i2c:
-
-![i2c wiring](https://i.imgur.com/Hbzhc6E.png)
-
-The pull-up resistors may be placed on either half. It is also possible
-to use 4 resistors and have the pull-ups in both halves, but this is
-unnecessary in simple use cases.
-
-You can change your configuration between serial and i2c by modifying your `config.h` file.
-
-## Notes on Software Configuration
-
-the keymaps in here are for the 4x5 layout of the keyboard only.
-
-## Flashing
-
-To flash your firmware take a look at: [Flashing Instructions and Bootloader Information](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/flashing)
-
-
-## Choosing which board to plug the USB cable into (choosing Master)
-
-Because the two boards are identical, the firmware has logic to differentiate the left and right board.
-
-It uses two strategies to figure things out: looking at the EEPROM (memory on the chip) or looking if the current board has the usb cable.
-
-The EEPROM approach requires additional setup (flashing the eeprom) but allows you to swap the usb cable to either side.
-
-The USB cable approach is easier to setup and if you just want the usb cable on the left board, you do not need to do anything extra.
-
-### Setting the left hand as master
-
-If you always plug the usb cable into the left board, nothing extra is needed as this is the default. Comment out `EE_HANDS` and comment out `I2C_MASTER_RIGHT` or `MASTER_RIGHT` if for some reason it was set.
-
-### Setting the right hand as master
-
-If you always plug the usb cable into the right board, add an extra flag to your `config.h`
-```
- #define MASTER_RIGHT
-```
-
-### Setting EE_hands to use either hands as master

-If you define `EE_HANDS` in your `config.h`, you will need to set the
-EEPROM for the left and right halves.
+* Keyboard Maintainer: [drashna](https://github.com/drashna)
+* Hardware Supported: Teensy 2.0++, WeAct BlackPill F411
-The EEPROM is used to store whether the
-half is left handed or right handed. This makes it so that the same firmware
-file will run on both hands instead of having to flash left and right handed
-versions of the firmware to each half. To flash the EEPROM file for the left
-half run:
-```
-make handwired/dactyl_promicro:default:dfu-split-left
-make handwired/dactyl_promicro:default:dfu-split-right
-```
+Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
-After you have flashed the EEPROM, you then need to set `EE_HANDS` in your config.h, rebuild the hex files and reflash.
+ make handwired/tractyl_manuform/5x6_right/f411/drashna:default
-Note that you need to program both halves, but you have the option of using
-different keymaps for each half. You could program the left half with a QWERTY
-layout and the right half with a Colemak layout using bootmagic's default layout option.
-Then if you connect the left half to a computer by USB the keyboard will use QWERTY and Colemak when the
-right half is connected.
+Flashing example for this keyboard:
+ make handwired/tractyl_manuform/5x6_right/f411/drashna:default:flash
-Notes on Using Pro Micro 3.3V
------------------------------
+See the [build environment setup](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_build_tools) and the [make instructions](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_make_guide) for more information. Brand new to QMK? Start with our [Complete Newbs Guide](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/newbs).
-Do update the `F_CPU` parameter in `rules.mk` to `8000000` which reflects
-the frequency on the 3.3V board.
+## Bootloader
-Also, if the slave board is producing weird characters in certain columns,
-update the following line in `matrix.c` to the following:
+Enter the bootloader in 3 ways:
-```
-// wait_us(30); // without this wait read unstable value.
-wait_us(300); // without this wait read unstable value.
-```
+* **Bootmagic reset**: Hold down the key at (0,0) in the matrix (usually the top left key or Escape) and plug in the keyboard
+* **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 `RESET` if it is available
