This keyboard firmware contains three different versions, all for the same PCB/hardware, but depending on your choice of controller/bootloader.

  • promicro - This uses the default Caterina bootloader.
  • elite_c - This uses the Atmel-DFU bootloader.
  • nanoBoot - A tiny 512 byte bootloader giving far more usable memory for features (can be used on both Elite C and Pro Micro).

Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):

make tweetydabird/lotus58/promicro:default

Flashing example for this keyboard:

make tweetydabird/lotus58/elite_c:default:flash

Bootloader

Enter the bootloader in 3 ways:

  • Bootmagic reset: Hold down the top outer key for each hand as it is plugged in
  • Physical reset: Briefly short the marked pads on PCB
  • Keycode in layout: Press the key mapped to QK_BOOT if mapped (not in default keymap)
