## Notes
### Layers
Base layer is a regular HHKBish ANSI layer. Toggling the
alternate base layer (Fn3) makes it simpler to play games with
the left space being set to be an actual Space.
Layer 1 (Fn1) contains usual 60% functionalities such as the
F-row, while Layer 2 (Fn2) contains media controls.
The final layer (Fn4) is a special layer that acts as a lock
layer, meaning the keyboard is locked while the layer
is active. This firmware assumes a lock switch (read below).
### Lock switches
1.25u between the split space halves and the 1u key right
left of LeftArrow are to be operated with a lock switch.
If you don't have lock switches you should swap the `MO()`
calls with `TG()` calls to make the layer toggles work
with regular non/locking switches.
## How to make and flash
(These instructions are for Linux-based operating systems
with `dfu-programmer` available.)
`cd` into the `bananasplit` keyboard's directory and run
make rask
which should result in a file called `bananasplit_rask.hex` appearing
in your QMK root directory.
Now plug in your BananaSplit60 keyboard via USB. Verify
with `lsusb` that it appears. At least my PCB did not have
anything preflashed so you should see `atmega32u4` or similar
in the `lsusb` output.
Now you can flash the firmware by
$ sudo dfu-programmer atmega32u4 erase
$ cd /qmk_firmware/root/directory
$ sudo dfu-programmer atmega32u4 flash bananasplit_rask.hex
_If_ you happen to have some other `atmega32u4` based device
I suggest you plug it out before flashing your BS60 just to
prevent accidentally flashing your old device.
