# ZMK Corne Keyboard Layout
|
||
|
||
This this my personal [zmk](https://github.com/zmkfirmware/zmk) config for my
|
||
[corne keyboard](https://github.com/foostan/crkbd), the firmware is built to
|
||
work with the following devices.
|
||
|
||
- Keyboard: Corne 6 column
|
||
- Controller: nice!nano v2 + nice!view (for both left and right keyboard)
|
||
- Dongle: Seed Xiao nRF52840
|
||
|
||
> This is a dongle setup with zmk studio support. Left and Right keyboard both
|
||
> acts as peripheral and seed xiao as the main controller. This increases the
|
||
> battery life of the left board compared to when it is used as both main and
|
||
> left peripheral.
|
||
|
||
## The Keyboard
|
||
|
||
> This uses [M165437's nice-view-gem](https://github.com/M165437/nice-view-gem)
|
||
> 
|
||
|
||
## Keymaps
|
||
|
||
These are the keymaps and layers defined in this config. The keymaps were
|
||
generated using
|
||
[Nick Coutsos's Keymap Editor](https://nickcoutsos.github.io/keymap-editor/).
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
> The image is generated using
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Installing Firmware
|
||
|
||
Whether you built it yourself or downloaded my prebuilt firmware, it should
|
||
contain the following files:
|
||
|
||
For the Dongle (XIAO):
|
||
|
||
- xiao_dongle.uf2
|
||
- xiao_reset_settings.uf2
|
||
|
||
For Keyboard (Corne):
|
||
|
||
- nano_corne_left.uf2
|
||
- nano_corne_right.uf2
|
||
- nano_reset_settings.uf2
|
||
|
||
> The `*_reset_settings.uf2` file is used to clear persistent settings like
|
||
> default layers, BLE pairings, and other saved data that may remain after
|
||
> repeatedly flashing new firmware.
|
||
|
||
### Steps
|
||
|
||
1. Plug in your XIAO dongle to your computer.
|
||
2. Double-press the small button on the XIAO to enter bootloader mode.
|
||
3. Copy `xiao_reset_settings.uf2` to the XIAO's root folder. (Optional, but
|
||
recommended to ensure a clean slate.)
|
||
4. You’ll see an error after flashing—this is normal. Unplug and replug the
|
||
XIAO.
|
||
5. Double-press the button again to re-enter bootloader mode.
|
||
6. Copy `xiao_dongle.uf2` to the root folder of the XIAO.
|
||
7. Wait for the error, then unplug the XIAO dongle. Done flashing the dongle for
|
||
now.
|
||
8. Plug in your left Corne keyboard (it doesn't need to be turned on).
|
||
9. Double-press the side button to enter bootloader mode.
|
||
10. Copy `nano_reset_settings.uf2` to the keyboard's root folder.
|
||
11. After the error appears, unplug and replug the keyboard.
|
||
12. Double-press the button again to go back into bootloader mode.
|
||
13. Copy `nano_corne_left.uf2` to the device. (Make sure to use the correct left
|
||
firmware!)
|
||
14. Unplug after the error, then repeat steps 8–13 for your right Corne using
|
||
`nano_corne_right.uf2.`
|
||
15. Plug your XIAO dongle back in to your computer.
|
||
16. Turn on both sides of your keyboard. Enjoy!
