# 3dfoxc

![3dfoxc](https://cdn.thingiverse.com/assets/12/3a/3e/5f/47/64A223C2-57E8-4124-B6AB-3031A0BA7973.jpeg)

A [3d-printed whitefox](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2952008) with an Elite-C microcontroller.

This is a build of [matt3o's "How to Build a Custom Keyboard" guide](https://matt3o.com/book/), except that I have replaced the Teensy with an [Elite-C v4](https://keeb.io/products/elite-c-low-profile-version-usb-c-pro-micro-replacement-atmega32u4). Presumably you could replace it with anything compatible.  The USB-C port had to be enlarged with dremel, and the mount for the Teensy was ground off and replaced with everyone's favorite rapid modeling polymer ... hot glue.

## Wiring

Badly, because I have never done this before. Build pics available upon request, I guess.

## Flashing

Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):

    make handwired/3dfoxc:default

Flashing example for this keyboard (use the `dfu` target for the Elite-C!):

    make handwired/3dfoxc:default:dfu

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).

## Bootloader

Enter the bootloader in 3 ways:

* **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
