Having issues flashing Drop Alt

Aug 4, 202091 VIEWS

When I try and install firmware to the alt using the mdloader, it just tells me that no port could be found. I've tried different cables, different USB ports, all with the same end result of it not working. I'm at my wits end and I don't really know what else I can do at this point, has anyone else had this issue and fixed it?

Did you get it figured out? Most of the wrong port issues happening in mid-july because people were using the out of date version 1.03 of the mdloader versus version 1.04.

How do you do per-key RGB lighting on a Shift V2?

I saw the online configurator that lets you do this on the Shift V1, where it spits out a compiled firmware file to flash. The V2 doesn't seem to have this function in the Windows configurator, though. I can't imagine the answer here is "you're going to have to manually write the hex for every key in QMK, compile it, and flash that".
