Work around for firmware/configuration update error "command not recognized"
I spent more than an hour attempting to update my Drop Shift keyboard. I'm not sure what has changed, but I was not able to do it entirely from the Drop website as I had previously done. I have most of the keys configured how I would like, but the default LED function was a very bright, distracting, rainbow wave going across the keyboard. Every time I turned the computer on I had to manually adjust the lights how I liked. Using the online version or the locally installed app, you first have to install the QMK XAP interface. You then have to flash your already configured firmware file, which can be done on the Drop website. If you are logged in your last configuration is saved under your account and you can alter what you like, so you don't have to start from scratch. So, following the instructions I selected the appropriate board, entered bootloader mode, but when attempting to flash the file, I would get an error that the C:/Users/Mike C..... command is not recognized...

Shipping 6xx to the UK, they handed off to Yodel- who lost the package for over a week, and needed lots of yelling to actually look for it, once I worked out where it was. Yodel also printed out a new address label, stuck it over the existing one- but minus the company name! There are a load of companies on the same campus- it was only a brilliant receptionist doing detective work that meant that I eventually got the package.
Yodel are the worst couriers, famous for it. If DHL is using them for your UK deliveries, either it has to go, or UKers have to wean themselves off Massdrop.
Very impressed that you're listening, BTW. Keep it up!
