Rollow

Author's Note: Converting my ZMK Rollow to QMK, I decided to port/modernize Barbell Boards Rollow keyboard definition. Setting up a new definition here as his github account shows no activity since mid 2022. Ultimately, this is a fun exercise for me to better understand how to setup a new keyboard especially under the current standards. I take no credit for Barry's awesome hardware design.

Rollow is low-profile 3x6+2 keys column-staggered split keyboard with horizontal thumb encoders. Based off Corne and also available in a 3x5+2 variant

The current build guide is available here

• Keyboard Maintainer: Barbell Boards and t4corun
• Hardware Supported: Rollow Rev 1
• Hardware Availability: No longer available after initial Summer 2022 production run

Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):

make barbellboards/rollow:default
# or
qmk compile -kb barbellboards/rollow -km default

Flashing example for this keyboard:

make barbellboards/rollow:default:flash

Bootloader

Enter the bootloader in 3 ways:

• Bootmagic reset: Hold down the key at (0,0) in the matrix (usually the top left key or Escape) 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
