Problem

I struggled for many days to try and figure out why I couldn't get my 2.5 BYO keyboard working.

Cause

It turns out that I had the 7.x bootloader (which is the current listed version on the website) , whereas the readme.md in the documentation is hard coded to download the 6.x libraries

Solution

For anyone else in this situation, there are 2 possible solutions

  1. Use the older 6.x bootloader with the 6.x libraries
  2. Use the newer 7.x bootloader with the 7.x libraries

Since the 6.x bootloader is harder to find (you have to search the archives), I recommend people update to the 7.x libraries

Changes

This pull request updates the documentation to

  • clarify that the bootloader and library version should match
  • change the links to point to the 7.x libraries
