Flexible firmware for Arduino-powered keyboards
-# Getting Started
-Pick a directory to work in, you'll need to clone multiple repositories. We'll assume you picked `$HOME/kaleidoscope`, if you chose another adapt the commands below accordingly.
-
-## Setup the Arduino IDE
+# Set up the Arduino IDE
Setup the Arduino IDE on your system. Make sure you install at least version 1.6, since older version may not support all required features.
-* On Linux, follow the instructions [on the wiki](https://github.com/keyboardio/Kaleidoscope/wiki/Arduino-Setup-Linux), installing the Arduino package somewhere that 'arduino' and 'arduino-builder' end up in your $PATH
-* On macOS, install using [homebrew](http://brew.sh/) [cask](https://caskroom.github.io/) with `brew cask install arduino` or download the application from [the official website](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software) and move it to your `/Applications` folder.
+# macOS
-## Install the Kaleidoscope Hardware Definitions
+On macOS, install the Arduino IDE using [homebrew](http://brew.sh/) [cask](https://caskroom.github.io/) with `brew cask install arduino` or download the application from [the official website](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software) and move it to your `/Applications` folder.
-```sh
-# You'll need to know your arduino sketchbook directory
+## Linux
-# on macOS the default is
-SKETCHBOOK_DIR=$HOME/Documents/Arduino
-# on Linux the default is
-SKETCHBOOK_DIR=$HOME/Arduino
+On Linux, your distribution's package manager probably includes the Arduino IDE, but it may be an out of date version. If your distribution installs a version of Arduino before 1.6.3 or so, you'll need to install the Arduino IDE following the instructions [on the wiki](https://github.com/keyboardio/Kaleidoscope/wiki/Arduino-Setup-Linux), installing the Arduino package somewhere that 'arduino' and 'arduino-builder' end up in your $PATH
-# Make a directory for the Arduino sketchbook and our hardware definitions
-mkdir -p $SKETCHBOOK_DIR/hardware/keyboardio
+# Create and navigate to the Arduino Sketchbook directory
-# then clone the hardware definitions to make them available to the arduino environment
-git clone --recursive https://github.com/keyboardio/Arduino-Boards.git $SKETCHBOOK_DIR/hardware/keyboardio/avr
+## MacOS
+```sh
+mkdir -p $HOME/Documents/Arduino
+cd $HOME/Documents/Arduino
+```
+
+## Linux
+
+```sh
+mkdir -p $HOME/Arduino
+cd $HOME/Arduino
```
-## Clone and Build the Kaleidoscope Firmware for the Model 01
+# Download hardware platform, library source code and firmware source code
```sh
-# go to your Arduino sketchbook
-cd $SKETCHBOOK
+mkdir -p hardware/keyboardio
+
+# then clone the hardware definitions to make them available to the arduino environment
+git clone --recursive https://github.com/keyboardio/Arduino-Boards.git hardware/keyboardio/avr
# then clone the firmware repository
git clone https://github.com/keyboardio/Model01-Firmware.git
+````
-# and build your firmware!
-cd Model01-Firmware
-make flash
+# Build and flash the firmware from the commandline!
-# When the builder tells you to hit return to continue,
-# hold down "prog" on your keyboard and hit return.
+```sh
+cd Model01-Firmware
+make flash
```
+When the builder tells you to hit Enter to continue, hold down "Prog" on your keyboard and hit Enter.
