Pro Micro help and tips for Model F AT
« on: Wed, 23 September 2015, 22:13:45 »
I have a Pro Micro breakout board and I would like to install it in an F AT to re-map some keys.

The Soarer's/Teensy thing has worked like a charm and I have done it several times, but I am completely lost with this new thing.

Can anybody give me a quick walk-through on how to do it?

I know that there have been discussions but I can't seem to find them. I will need details, I am better with a hammer and a drill than with programming.

This helped me out also when I compiled and burned the wrong image onto the pro micro...

The tricky part with Pro Micro is that after you short the Ground and Reset, you only have 8 seconds to flash the firmware.

Fohat,

Did you get this figured out?  It helps if you have some Linux command line experience.  It isn't too difficult, but if you haven't done it before, it can look confusing.  I installed avrdude with Crosspak on an old Mac.  You can PM me if you'd like.

No, I gave up. I have a bit of Linux command line experience, but not any kind of deep understanding.

My unit seems to be different from what was described elsewhere. And the voltage marking on the rear seems ambiguous, too.

My pro micro is just like that except with the "Deek-Robot" label in the back. When you plug it in, what LEDs are lighting up?

I get one solid red near the micro-USB socket and a green one at the other end blinks a couple of times.

Is it able to go into bootloader mode?  (short RST+GND twice as it boots).  For me the sign that it did is the Product id changes (you can see it via dmesg) - on my pro micro, normal boot the id is "8036" and in bootloader mode it shows up with id of "0036".  8 seconds later it'll go back to "8036".  If it can go into bootloader mode then you can just quickly flash it...
