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.

QMK Inland MK47 Guide
Flashing custom firmware - the current version QMK tool off the website won't work. You'll most likely get a "USB device connected (NO DRIVER): WB Device in DFU Mode " and not be able to flash anything. You will need the beta version that supports WB32 flashing utility. I grabbed mine from the GMMK guide QMK tool from GMMK

Sense 75 red underglow caps lock indicator
You first have to download QMK toolbox https://github.com/qmk/qmk_toolbox/releases/download/0.2.2/qmk_toolbox.exe. Once downloaded, download this bin file https://github.com/GHv4/Sense75-CAPSLOCK-UNDERGLOW/blob/main/sense75-CAPSLOCK%20UNDERGLOW.bin. Open the QMK toolbox exe file, then hit the open button. Locate the .bin file. Hold Right FN+BACKSPACE until it pops up in QMK Toolbox. Hit flash and wait for it to finish flashing. Via and Vial compatible. YOU'RE WELCOME FRIENDS!!

Can't figure out how to configure Megalodon Triple-Knob Macro Pad
I got things working by using the https://github.com/qmk/qmk_toolbox project, and the firmware file you linked. As you said, my pad now works with Vial, and has 12 layers. Though the layer selector still only traverses between layers 0 through 3.

How to work on hex file from keyboard maker?
- QMK MSYS: you'll need it for many things, for compiling your firmware file and for flashing, especially if flashing with QMK Toolbox isn't permitted in firmware settings (in this case QMK Toolbox just won't recognize your keyboard);

I have a Mac/Win toggle, but the flashing process always flashes Mac. Am i supposed to be able to choose which one I flash in the software? Also my volume knob doesn't work after flashing.
I am currently using the QMK online configurator tool to do the compilation and download the resulting .bin file, and then the QMK Toolbox to flash it onto the keyboard.

Finally got my CSTC75 built
Check out this site: http://kpchn.com/s/PoHJ. I found it from the AliExpress page and it leads to all the VIA/VIAL configs for the KPRepublic boards. Go into CSTC75 and you'll see a .hex file, that's the firmware. You should be able to use the QMK toolbox: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_toolbox to flash the firmware.

Did I brick my microcontrollers (Sea Picro RP2040) somehow? The bootloader is in ROM, so shouldn't be possible?
When I first plugged them in, my Mac (running 13.1 Ventura) recognized them as a USB storage device. I was trying to use the QMK toolbox to flash the firmware onto them, not realizing that I needed to drag and drop a .uf2 file instead of trying to flash a .hex file.
