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...

Web Links: We love backing up comments with sources and good information, so you are welcome to include links to material on other websites that are relevant to your comment. However, links to pornography and other offensive material are not allowed. Massdrop administrators check these links and may remove anything deemed offensive. Please don’t post things that will keep us up at night. We’ll remove them. Also, we’ll be upset. Relevance: While we appreciate wide-ranging discussions, we'd like to avoid derailing things to a certain extent. Let's try to keep within arms reach of the topic at hand if we can. Trolling: We understand you're having fun with it, but it's distracting and does nothing to promote good discussion. There's a good chance we'll just remove it so please save us all a little time. Offensive Language: We're not opposed to a good curse word (or two, or three) when we get excited, but let's try to keep it positive. Try to refrain from hurling insults at your fellow users or using disparaging terms. It's your right to express yourself, but it’s our right to remove or modify your post if we or the community deem it offensive. Arguing vs Yelling: Below is an image that shows the typical flow of an argument as it breaks down from a good productive debate to unproductive name calling. Keep it in the top 4 sections of the pyramid and everything will be alright. We may step in and remove your post once you start dipping into baseless claims or making personal insults.
Discrimination: You don’t like certain people and that’s your choice, but we do not condone hatred of any kind. Discriminatory remarks are unacceptable. This includes, but is not limited to, racism, sexism, and homophobia. Threats: We know it’s easy to get riled up about things you're passionate about, but statements that are threatening or abusive will not be tolerated. Pretend you’re having a face-to-face with the people in the discussion and don’t be a keyboard warrior. Nobody is impressed by this behavior, and the situation has no winner. Slander & Libel: Don't make false or malicious claims about other people or organizations. Posting a negative opinion or review is fine, but don’t engage in discrediting individuals or organizations for unrelated issues with blatantly false information. This includes posting speculations as if they are fact. Wild speculations that are intended to persuade others may be removed for spreading false information. Advertising: We love community projects and the process that goes into them. If you want to share that cool thing you’re working on or one you already made, this is a great place to do that. That does not mean spamming links or astroturfing. This is a community to take part in, not take advantage of. Ghosting: Pseudonyms are fine, but don't impersonate another person or use an alias to agree with yourself or advertise. We can see you’re doing it. Embrace who you are and just be the one you. Privacy: In addition to being mindful of your own information, do not post any identifiable information about others. The internet is full of clever people and immoral people. They are not always mutually exclusive. Illegal Activity: Do not use this website to conduct any illegal activity or solicit the performance of any illegal activity. Drug deals are the wrong kind of drop for our site.
