Steps

This build is essentially the same as the v2 build guide, with a few differences in the v1.0 PCB:

  • the diode silkscreen is back-to-front; either reverse the diode directions physically, or update the DIODE_DIRECTION in the your keymap config.h when compiling the firmware:
    #undef DIODE_DIRECTION
    #define DIODE_DIRECTION ROW2COL
    
  • the TRRS silkscreen is back-to-front; make sure to solder the TRRS jack on to the bottom side of the PCB (same side as diodes)
  • compile QMK firmware with one of the following depending on sendor type:
    make oddball/v1:default
    make oddball/v1:pmw3360
