Wanna remap your TADA68? Of course you do, especially if you're like me and use a Mac.
Click here to visit the site. This website is a piece of absolute horse shit. Enable flash and prepare yourself. View the notes section of this doc for some helpers. Once you're pleased with the layout, compile and save it into your Downloads folder. Name it FLASH.BIN (all caps).
Plug in TADA68, hit reset button on bottom. This should mount it to your machine. Find it? Good. Now open a terminal.
| Command | Purpose | Note |
|---|---|---|
cd /Volumes/TADA68\ \ / |
Go to the TADA68 directory | Note the space after "/" |
ls -a |
Show all files currently in directory. You should see something like FLASH.BIN, ._.Trashes, .Trashes, .., ., .fseventsd | You can skip this. |
rm FLASH.BIN |
Get rid of that old shit. | |
cp -r ~/Downloads/FLASH.BIN /Volumes/TADA68\ \ / |
Copy over the fresh FLASH.BIN from the shit site. | This assumes the flash is in your downloads. Note that this is case-sensitive. |
rm -rf .Trashes/ .fseventsd/ ._.Trashes ._FLASH.bin |
Throw out that useless shit - some of which your mac adds because I don't fucking know why. |
After ejecting, type away baby! TADA!
Wanna map the function keys? Note that the momentary press option, which is the second choice in the dropdown at the time of writing, produces the traditional results of pressing a function key.
Since fucking around with this, I've found an app called Karabiner Elements. It's a tool that lets users customize keys and key bindings. To get the most out of it, you'll need to be familiar with programming.
The pro here is that it's easier to customize than TADA's flash-based web app and also is more robust. The con is that your profile isn't saved to the board, like TADA's. That's not a problem for me, as I only have one machine. Technically, you could symlink your Karabiner config file to a cloud-based directory, like dropbox, and have any number of computers reference that. Anywho.
This is more or less, the mac keyboard, with a few changes here and there based on my preferences. I'm going to be using it as my bootstrap for Karabiner.
