# cstc40
|
|
|
|
A 40% hotswap ortholinear RGB keyboard from KP Republic.
|
|
|
|
* Keyboard Maintainer: [Var](https://github.com/itsvar8)
|
|
* Hardware Supported: CSTC40
|
|
* Hardware Availability: kprepublic.com
|
|
|
|
The differences between the two versions are just the rows and columns pins and the additional small pcb for the daughterboard version.
|
|
|
|
Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
|
|
|
|
for daughterboard version: make kprepublic/cstc40/daughterboard:default
|
|
for single pcb version: make kprepublic/cstc40/single_pcb:default
|
|
|
|

## 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 `QK_BOOT` if it is available
|
|
|
|
The single_pcb uses pin A10, which apparently is a design flaw that prevent the bootloader to start every time - https://docs.qmk.fm/#/platformdev_blackpill_f4x1?id=pins-to-be-avoided. There is a simple workaround that works most of the time - press the pin key (generally the letter R) during the boot.
