Author: Blake C. Lewis

Hardware Supported: KC60SE

Hardware Availability: PCB is nolonger available

Description:

• kc60se_all.json (every possible key on the board, not really something you would use. Maybe use it for testing);
• kc60se_ansi.json (the standard USA layout);
• kc60se_hhkb.json (Happy Hacker KeyBoard layout, the ultimate layout for 60% keyboards, I have been using an HHKB since 1999);
• kc60se_iso.json (US version of the rest of the international standard);
• kc60se_ansi_split_bs_rshift.json (HHKB with modifications to function layer);
• kc60se_colemak_split_bs_rshift.json (colmak hhkb layout);
• kc60se_dvorak_split_bs_rshift.json (dvorak hhkb layout);
• kc60se_workman_split_bs_rshift.json (workman hhkb layout).

• Go to https://config.qmk.fm/;
• press the [up arrow] next to [keyboard.json] and select one of these json files;
• upload one of these json files ansi, hhkb, or iso;
• look over the base layer (0), pretty much a standard;
• look over the function layer (1) and make some changes;
• press [Compile];
• if success, then press [Firmware] to download;
• if you made changes, press the [down arrow] next to [keyboard.json], saving your updated configuration/json file;
• https://beta.docs.qmk.fm/newbs/newbs_flashing use QMK Toolbox or dfu-programmer to flash the firmware.

Enter the Bootloader:

• unplug keyboard
• while holding down 'Space' 'B', plug in USB cable and continue to hold for a few seconds or until leds go off;
• Linux 'lsusb' should report '03eb:2ff4 Atmel Corp. atmega32u4 DFU bootloader' instead of 'feed 6060';
• in bootloader mode, LEDs are off, and keyboard does not work;
• if for some reason that doesn't work, (CAREFUL) while keyboard is plugged in, momentary jump pad 5 to 6 to enter bootloader;
• flashing the firmware through a USB HUB produced errors.

DIP switches enable/disable keys K41 and K4C:

• the second keys from both ends on the bottom row;
• K41/K4C are usually WIN/GUI and will disrupt your gaming zen;

 dip      keys
#1  #2  K41 K4C
 1   1   1   1    both keys enabled
 1   0   0   1
 0   1   1   0
 0   0   0   0    both keys disabled

6 pin SPI header next to the Atmega32u4:

• can be used to enter the bootloader by momentary shorting 5 to 6 while keyboard is on;

2 4 6
: : :
1 3 5

1 - B3      MISO (SQUARE PAD, column 13)
2 - VCC
3 - B1      SCLK (column 7)
4 - B2      MOSI (caplock led)
5 - Reset - momentary jump pin 5 to 6 to enter Bootloader
6 - Ground

I think the SPI functionallity can be used to load a new bootloader.
