The I2C code is based on the code from 'handwired/dactyl', but reduced to ROW2COL and EXPANDER_COL_REGISTER=GPIOA define choices. Adjustments were made for the two I2C addresses, one per side.

#Bootloader

Enter the bootloader in 2 ways:

• Physical reset button: Briefly press the button on the Teensy by inserting a small pin in the small hole in the switch plate
• Keycode in layout: Press the key mapped to QK_BOOT if it is available
