Dactyl Manuform 
=================

This shield is basing on this project:
https://github.com/abstracthat/dactyl-manuform

Board
-------------------

I ported the Dactyl Manuform, where instead of using Pro Pico board I picked Particle Xenon.
This board is quite cheap and easy to find in many stores. 
Other supported boards was too pricy or unavailable in my country.

Bootloader
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

To make it works you need to flash your Particle with:
https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_nRF52_Bootloader

Why Adafruit bootloader you may ask?

* MCUBOOT:
  This bootloader is hard to use and require installation of quite big amount of tools.
* Particle:
  Default bootloader in other hands, require special version of nrftool and you need to use more then one button to trigger boot mode.
  It should support binary generated here.
* Adafruit:
  It has all MCUBOOT functionality and also support UF2 binary format.

Here you can find the step by step tutorial how to flash it.

Building
-------------------
