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...

One of our goals for Hub is to collect feedback from members on all things Massdrop. Over the years, we’ve taken community input on site features whenever they release, and we want to make this more accessible to everyone. Coinciding with the launch of Hub, our founder and CEO, Steve, has made the first "Site Features" discussion thread offering an in-depth look at the newest feature in the works. Read about it here: https://www.massdrop.com/talk/1097/site-features-discussion-feedback
Another key objective for Hub is to give everyone an opportunity to discuss communities they’re passionate about that don’t yet have a presence on Massdrop. We’ll launch new communities in Hub based on your input, and if we find there’s enough interest out there, we’ll split these drops off into their own standalone community, separate from Hub. Learn more about this process: https://www.massdrop.com/talk/1094/how-massdrop-decides-on-new-communities
All of us at Massdrop are really excited about Hub, and we hope you are too! We’re looking forward to having more great conversations with the community.
