Flashing
Sol uses QMK firmware. Documentation on installation, keymaps and compiling can be found here.
Sol 2 has many different features, which must be enabled in QMK. Use the file rgbkb/sol/rev2/rules.mk to turn on/off features. You must do this for custom keymaps using OLED, encoders, or full hand LEDs. Only enable the features you need.
If you are using OLED panels, you must only enable it in the rules.mk for the half with the OLED installed. Due to a firmware issue, enabling it with nothing installed will result in lag. This means if you only have one installed on one half, you'll need to make two different hex files.
To install the default keymap:
Install AVRdudess
You may need to install Atmel Flip drivers and follow this guide after resetting the board.
Download the left/right eeprom files and pre-compiled hex files
Right-click on the
RAWbutton and and "Save link as..."

Follow the same steps as the left, but choose
eeprom-righthand.eepFlip the #4 (Master) switch to OFF
Plug the leftmost port into your PC, and the two middle ports into each other.
After the initial setup, you can update your keymap using QMK Toolbox, and you only need to flash the master half.
For custom layouts:
Install Bash on Windows
Install and setup QMK and Avrdudess
Edit your keymap as desired and compile hex file
Flash the hex and left/right eeprom to each half (follow guide above)
Follow these instructions for setting up QMK and flashing on Windows
If QMK Toolbox doesn't work, try these steps
