TADA68
A compact 65% keyboard.
Keyboard Maintainer: QMK Community
Hardware Supported: TADA68 PCB
Hardware Availability: kbdfans, kbdist
Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
make tada68:default
See build environment setup then the make instructions for more information.
Firmware Format
Out of the box the tada68 uses a .bin firmware file instead of a .hex like other custom keyboards. By default QMK will build and copy the correct .bin file for you. If for some reason you need a hex file instead, you can add :hex
to your make command, or look inside qmk_firmware/.build
to find the hex file.
