How to change LEDs on a Drop SHIFT V2

I'm having trouble downloading the right file from the keyboard configurator on the drop website. When I download the file for my custom layout it comes as a .bin file however, it says I need a .uf2 file to flash the keyboard.

It sounds like you’re working with a keyboard that requires a specific firmware format to flash. The .bin file you downloaded may not be the correct format for your keyboard. Here’s what you can do: myChart Loyola
  1. Check the Configuration Tool: Ensure you're using the right settings in the keyboard configurator. Sometimes there are options to export the firmware in different formats. Look for a setting that allows you to export as a .uf2 file.
  2. Visit the Manufacturer’s Page: Sometimes the manufacturer provides the correct firmware files on their support page. Check if there’s a dedicated section for firmware downloads.
  3. Use QMK or similar firmware: If your keyboard supports QMK or a similar firmware, you might be able to compile your layout there, which can provide a .uf2 file.
