Make Swap Hands use PROGMEM (#12284)
This converts the array that the Swap Hands feature uses to use PROGMEM,
and to read from that array, as such. Since this array never changes at
runtime, there is no reason to keep it in memory. Especially for AVR
boards, as memory is a precious resource.

Dactyl

See https://github.com/adereth/dactyl-keyboard

The Dactyl uses the Teensy Loader.

Linux users need to modify udev rules as described on the Teensy Linux page. Some distributions provide a binary, maybe called teensy-loader-cli.

To flash the firmware:

  • Build the firmware with make handwired/dactyl:<keymapname>, for example make handwired/dactyl:default

  • This will result in a hex file called handwired_dactyl_<keymapname>.hex, e.g. handwired_dactyl_default.hex

  • Start the teensy loader.

  • Load the .hex file into it.

  • Put the Teensy in firmware-loading mode:

    • If your current layout has a RESET key, press it.
    • If you lack a RESET key, press the reset button on the Teensy board itself.
  • Click the button in the Teensy app to download the firmware.

To flash with ´teensy-loader-cli´:

  • Build the firmware as above

  • Run <path/to/>teensy_loader_cli -mmcu=atmega32u4 -w handwired_dactyl_<keymapname>.hex

  • If you like, you can do both at once: make handwired/dactyl:<keymapname>:teensy

  • Put the Teensy in firmware-loading mode:

    • If your current layout has a RESET key, press it.
    • If you lack a RESET key, press the reset button on the Teensy board itself.
