Help With YMDK Wings
« on: Mon, 24 May 2021, 13:14:20 »
I recently purchased the YMDK Wings and I need help resetting the keyboard to change the layout. This is my first keyboard that isn't a mainstream brand like Logitech or Razer so I'm having trouble. How could I tell if I've reset the board or not.  I'm using https://drive.google.com/file/d/103gBltsARyvDYf9L9kLjs4Lk_42jAQow/view as a reference and atmega32u4 isn't coming up on Zadig for me either even though I'm listing all devices.

I appreciate your time and help, thank you.

I can't find a good pic of this PCB but usually there is either a button or pair of pads marked 'reset' which need to be shorted, then the board goes into bootloader mode ready to be flashed.  When in bootloader mode the keys wont type anything so you will know when you get there.

I've bought from YMDK in the past, though I have not tried the wings.

If the PCB supports QMK, and especially QMK/VIA, most likely YMDK would flash the VIA firmware for you already.

So download VIA, runs it (VIA will say searching for compatible keyboard), and plug in the keyboard.

If VIA detects it, then you're game. Simply go to the FN layer and see if there's a "RESET" bound to any key.
If not, you can bind it yourself.

But if VIA is already flashed, you don't really need to reflash the firmware again, you just use VIA to set your layout. (unless there's a known bug fixed for your board's VIA firmware down the road)
