This is the first time I built a keyboard!
A cheapino!
It took a little bit of time to get everything figured out, but I was able to finish that build relatively easily.
However, I am having trouble customizing the layout… I can’t load it in the qmk.fm tool and when I upload a json file it gives me something that doesn’t match my keyboard.
Also, the encoder currently types ‘y’ when turned right, I got 2 thumb keys working as spaces and I don’t have a modifier key.
As far as I can tell, everything is soldered right, the diodes are in the right direction…
Did I mess up my soldering or is the cheapino firmware buggy?
Any app that can help me flash/customize my keyboard? I’ll keep googling.
Thanks!

    also just fininshed the hardware build and now - for the first time - try to get qmk on it. I cloned the repo just as in build guide and also installed qmk as per qmk docs. but when I issue

    make cheapino:default:flash

    I get

    QMK Firmware 0.15.18 make: *** No rule to make target 'cheapino:default:flash'. Stop.

    Any idea? I am also on Mac…

      Hey. Cool! Send some pics!

      Since there is no official qmk support for cheapino, you need to use my fork: https://github.com/tompi/qmk_firmware/tree/cheapino

      I should maybe try to get my fork merged into official qmk…

      For your question about miryoku, there isnt a super easy way. If you are confident with git and c, you can try merging my cheapino fork into miryoku.

      I based my own keymap on miryoku, so if you start with «make cheapino:tompi:flash» you should be pretty close.

        This sounds excellent. Will give it a try in a few hours and let you know. Maybe we can ask manna to include it into the official Miryoku builds, too.
