The Nyquist is a 60% split ortholinear board by [Keebio](https://keeb.io). It has been designed in a similar manner to the Let's Split v2 by /u/wootpatoot. Each half of the keyboard is arranged in a 5x6 grid. There is an option to use a 2u key with PCB mounted MX stablizers, in place of the two innermost 1u keys on the bottom row.

based boards.

Since the design is very similar to the Let's Split v2, the build guide for that can be used while the build guide for the Nyquist is being fully developed.

There is additional information there about flashing and adding RGB underglow.

### Let's split 1.0
If you have a first generation Let's Split you will need to use the revision 1 code. To do so, use `rev1` in all your commands instead.

### 2u Support
In place of the two innermost 1u keys on the bottom row, a single 2u key can be used. If you choose to use this option, then in your keymap, set the innermost key on the bottom row to what you want the 2u key to be. For example, if using the 2u key on the left half of the board, set the keycode for the lower right key.

Notes on Software Configuration
-------------------------------
Configuring the firmware is similar to any other QMK project. One thing
to note is that `MATIX_ROWS` in `config.h` is the total number of rows between
the two halves, i.e. if your split keyboard has 4 rows in each half, then
`MATRIX_ROWS=8`.
Also the current implementation assumes a maximum of 8 columns, but it would
not be very difficult to adapt it to support more if required.
