[Help] Minidox - 36 keys version

[dhruvinsh]

Hi, thank you for keeping this project alive. Is it possible to generate MINIDOX 36 keys version? 5 columns and 3 rows with 3 thumb cluster.

I tried multiple iteration but no luck with any of that. I simply can't rid of that last row with partial switches

Sorry, I only now realized you posted this issue.

That config isn't actually used at all any longer, at least not in my setup. The most current one is src/run_config.json.

(I also realized I haven't updated master with the latest changes in some time... It's updated now.)

You can do what you're looking for, just not on the master branch. Since I use this repo heavily for my store for prints and builds, not everything works in a single branch just yet... Things are scattered, like me.

You can use the three_by_five branch and there's a new config option, "all_last_rows" you can set to true. That should do what you're looking for.

I gave it a go and seems to work, thanks!

@bullwinkle3000 , First off, thank you for sharing your improvements to the dactyl manuform.

I too am trying to generate a 3x5 minidox version, along with a BTU trackball on the right side. Only the 6x6 configurations are generated--for example things/6x6_WHOLE_MINIDOX_LEFT_TOP.step. Only the 4-key Trackball Cluster configuration is generated, and I'd like the Wyld 3-key Trackball Cluster to be generated. Would you mind reviewing my configuration to see if I'm missing a setting needed to generate the desired trackball configuration for a 3x5 minidox with a trackball?
