#Keyboard Info

The ArrowPad is a wired conversion that can be made to any stand-alone keypad. It uses two main layers - a standard numpad, and a more advanced arrow cluster navigator.

The first 24-key ArrowPad was handwired, but the PCB was wired as listed below.

The second ArrowPad was a conversion from a 21-key Genovation keypad. It used a 2 row x 11 column matrix.

#Quantum MK Firmware

For the full Quantum feature list, see the parent readme.md.

#Building

Download or clone the whole firmware and navigate to the keyboards/arrow_pad folder. Once your dev env is setup, you'll be able to type make to generate your .hex - you can then use the Teensy Loader to program your .hex file.

Depending on which keymap you would like to use, you will have to compile slightly differently.

#Default

To build with the default keymap, simply run make handwired/arrow_pad:default.

#Other Keymaps

Several version of keymap are available in advance but you are recommended to define your favorite layout yourself. To define your own keymap create file named <name>.c in the keymaps folder, and see keymap document (you can find in top readme.md) and existent keymap files.

To build the firmware binary hex file with a keymap just do make with a keymap like this:

$ make handwired/arrow_pad:[default|pad_21|pad_24|<name>]

Keymaps follow the format <name>.c and are stored in the keymaps folder.
