* Run this command from the directory where you saved your `.hex` file
Or if your are on Unix-like shell you can use command sequence concatinated with `&&`
```
sleep 20 && \
dfu-programmer atmega32u4 erase --force && \
dfu-programmer atmega32u4 flash <your_downloaded_file>.hex && \
dfu-programmer atmega32u4 launch
```
* Run commands from the directory where you saved your `.hex` file
* Put controller into programmable mode(bootloader) by hitting the red button located on your controller
* Once in this mode, you will no longer have access to your HHKB, you need other keyboard to input the commands or mouse to copy and paste.
* `erase` clears existent firmware on flash memory
* `flash` loads new firmware you downloaded
* `launch` restarts keyboard
* See `man dfu-programmer` for details
* Replug controller and redo the process when you are in trouble
* `sleep 20` gives you time to switch your controller to a programmable mode * `sleep 20` gives you time to switch your controller to a programmable mode
by hitting the red button located on your controller
* Once in this mode, you will no longer have access to your keyboard; that's
ok because the rest of the commands are concatenated together to run without
needing further input from the keyboard
* Once you switch the controller to the programmable state (by hitting the
red button), the `dfu-programmer` will automatically detect your controller (`man
dfu-controller` for details)
* `&& dfu-programmer...` are the concatenated commands that clear
the old, load the new and restart your controller with the new firmware.
These commands execute automatically once the ~ 20 seconds have passed. These commands execute automatically once the ~ 20 seconds have passed.
* While this is not expected, in the event the bootloader fails to load
your `.hex` file, disconnect and reconnect your keyboard's USB to
re-establish the normal mode of operation required to troubleshoot.
* In the event of an issue, please submit an issue on github to help us
improve the documentation.
