It was e for edge, now k for keys. Why? I'm toying with ideas for a full Tutte Coxeter graph (30 vertices/nodes/GPIO pins, 45 edges/switches) incuding 42 keys plus a rotary encoder (these act like three switches: clockwise, anticlockwise, press - so 42 edges for normal keys + 3 edges for a rotary encoder gives 42 + 3 = 45 edges) which could be named with suffix 43ke.

# Tutte Coxeter 36k
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
This is firmware for an PR2040 monoblock 36 key design (three rows of five, and three thumb keys, for each hand).
|
|
This is a *diode-free* design using a sparse 13 by 13 scanning matrix designed from a partial Tutte-Coxeter graph
|
|
(using only 26 vertices or GPIO pins with 36 edges or keys - see this
|
|

for background although the final pin selection changed).
|
|
|
|
The first physical PCB for this is designed to fit in the [Gamma Omega keyboard](https://github.com/unspecworks/gamma-omega) case,
|
|
and use the same Raspberry Pi Pico based microcontroller board.

## Bootloader
|
|
|
|
Enter the bootloader in 3 ways:
|
|
|
|
* **Bootmagic reset**: Hold down the key at (0,0) in the matrix (bottom left key, Qwerty `z`) and plug in the keyboard
|
|
* **Physical reset button**: Briefly press the button on the back of the PCB - some may have pads you must short instead
|
|
* **Keycode in layout**: Press the key mapped to `QK_BOOT` if it is available
