# Tutte Coxeter 36k
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is firmware for a Raspberry Pi Pico PR2040 controller monoblock 36 key design
|
|
(split 3x5_3 - three rows of five, and three thumb keys, for each hand). This is a
|
|
*diode-free* design with a sparse 13 by 13 scanning matrix designed using a partial
|
|
[Tutte-Coxeter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tutte%E2%80%93Coxeter_graph) graph
|
|
(using only 26 vertices or GPIO pins, with 36 edges or keys - see this
|
|

|
|
|
The firmware follows the `LAYOUT_split_3x5_3` QMK community layout convention, making it much
|
|
easier to use with an existing layout like Miryoku.
|
|
|
|
The first physical PCB for this was designed using the [Gamma Omega
|
|
keyboard](https://github.com/unspecworks/gamma-omega) footprint from Ergogen.
|
|
This is intend use the same Raspberry Pi Pico YD-RP2040 microcontroller board
|
|
to fit the same 3D printed case, including reset button placement.

## Bootloader
|
|
|
|
Enter the bootloader in 3 ways:
|
|
|
|
* **Bootmagic reset**: Hold down the key at (0,0) in the matrix (bottom right key, Qwerty `/`) and plug in the keyboard
|
|
* **Physical reset button**: Briefly press the button on the back of the controller (if physically accessible)
|
|
* **Keycode in layout**: Press the key mapped to `QK_BOOT` if it is available
