Luckily, this process is pretty straight-forward, provided you have any extra programmable keyboard, Arduino, or Teensy 2.0/Teensy 2.0++. There are also dedicated ISP flashers available for this, but most cost >$15, and it's assumed that if you are googling this error, this is the first you've heard about ISP flashing, and don't have one readily available (whereas you might have some other AVR board). __We'll be using a Teensy 2.0 with Windows 10 in this guide__ - if you are comfortable doing this on another system, please consider editing this guide and contributing those instructions! -## Software needed +## Software Needed * [The Arduino IDE](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software) * [Teensyduino](https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_download.html) (if you're using a Teensy) @@ -38,7 +38,7 @@ This is pretty straight-forward - we'll be connecting like-things to like-things Flasher VCC <-> Keyboard VCC Flasher GND <-> Keyboard GND -## The ISP firmware +## The ISP Firmware Make sure your keyboard is unplugged from any device, and plug in your Teensy. @@ -62,13 +62,13 @@ And make the changes in the last four lines.
