Built keyboard, have no idea how to program it.
So, I'm in process of building my first ergo keyboard. Just finished left half, can't figure out how to upload(and where to get) software for it. I landed on dactyl by joshreve generated 3d files tinkered with them and finally printed them, soldered and glued everything, now i'm kinda stuck.

planning to build dactyl manuform
For generating the print files I can recommend this python generator by joshreve or this online generator. Both are really good for standard manuforms. The python generator has some extra settings though.

Do I have weak pinkies?
Now that I've gotten fairly comfortable with a 40% layout, I'm planning on building a custom parametric dactyl manuform as my desktop keyboard while still using the kyria when traveling or just on the go.

HP 200 LX Keyboard Adapter
I'm working on a project at the moment, basically sticking a raspberry pi into the case of an old 200LX palmtop computer that broke on me. The start of this project is to adapt the old keyboard so that it can be used as a standard USB keyboard. I used an old Teensy 2.0 microcontroller and kbfirmware.com (very old i know) to so this, along with a custom interposer PCB to adapt the very weird pad spacing on the keyboard connector to the Teensy.

I have created the firmware here

Custom QMK firmware help
In general you search the qmk repo for your mcu, then pick similar keyboard to your own, then hand edit the layout.h file and keymap.c. a macropad should be easy to figure out. for complex layouts such as a fullsize you could use a broken code generator such as https://kbfirmware.com/

Which keyboard would you recommend for a beginner
Idk man, I binge watched more hours of keyboard content, than I'd ever like to admit with how little I've done with that. I guess, I get obsessive easily.Check out Joe Scotto for amazingly clean and tidy handwired boards, Ben Vallack for insane minimalistic crazy designs and layout content.There's Keyboard Layout Editor that works nicely with plate generator and QMK firmware generator so there's one workflow. Also check out ergogen, it's amazing, although I didn't learn KiCAD yet, so never used it to create anything more than a quick visualisation. There's lots of great materials on how keyboards are build and how they work. QMK docs have very insightful handwiring guide.

I printed an ortho 41 Key and named it after my dog
This is Stardust, named after my dog Ziggy. It's a 41 Key Ortho. My goal with this keyboard was to be able to see if I could fully realize it without ordering anything besides switches. I used an old blank ABS keycap set, some stabs I had laying around, and a Elite C controller. Then I 3D printed the case, and added M2 bolts and threaded inserts to hold it together. I ordered Kiwi switches and designed everything myself using Keyboard Layout Editor, ai03 Plate Generator, KBFirmware and Fusion 360. It was printed on an Ender 3.

Want to build a 60% Keyboard
I tried to wire everything up in rows and columns and followed that through kbfirmware.com
-
Update: I almost got it working
I used this site https://kbfirmware.com. I’ll have to check the idea with the reset pin. Thanks. But I thought the MCU resets if the pin is connected to ground.
- wanted to build this board but i dont have the time to do the pcb..anybody knows a similiar board?

I'm getting this while trying to reflash my pro micro, I have no idea what to do here. The solutions for the butterfly error didn't work out.
I didn't actually write the code, it was a hardwire I designed. I used kbfirmware.com, all I have is a file.
