# Ploopyco Madromys Trackball
|
|
|
|
It's a DIY, QMK-powered trackball!
|
|
|
|
* Keyboard Maintainer: [PloopyCo](https://github.com/ploopyco)
|
|
* Hardware Supported: RP2040
|
|
* Hardware Availability: [Store](https://ploopy.co), [GitHub](https://github.com/ploopyco)
|
|
|
|
Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
|
|
|
|
qmk compile -kb ploopyco/madromys -km default
|
|

# Building Firmware
|
|
|
|
See the [build environment setup](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_build_tools) and the [make instructions](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_make_guide) for more information. Brand new to QMK? Start with our [Complete Newbs Guide](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/newbs).

# Triggering the Bootloader
|
|
|
|
[Do you see those two golden holes in the board](https://ploopy.co/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/boot.jpg)? Those are called **vias**. They act exactly like a switch does. Right now, that switch is OFF. However, if you take a paperclip or a pair of metal tweezers and touch those two vias, the two vias will form an electrical connection. Effectively, that switch turns ON.
|
|
|
|
Go ahead and connect the two vias, and then (while the vias are connected) plug in the Madromys board into your computer.
|
|
|
|
The computer should recognise that a mass storage device was just plugged in. Once this is done, you should be able to drag and drop files onto the Madromys board, as if the board was a USB drive. Feel free to remove the tweezers or paperclip at this point.
|
|
|
|
If you want to upload a new firmware file (a ".uf2" file, like "madromys_awesome_version.uf2" or something), just drag it into the folder, and it'll automatically install on the Madromys board and restart itself, in normal operating mode. You're done!
|
|
|
|
**TIP**: If your firmware is in some kind of strange state and uploading new firmware isn't fixing it, try uploading [a flash nuke](https://learn.adafruit.com/getting-started-with-raspberry-pi-pico-circuitpython/circuitpython#flash-resetting-uf2-3083182) to the Madromys board before flashing the new firmware. It wipes the memory of the Madromys board completely clean, which can help clear a few types of errors.

# Drag Scroll
|
|
|
|
Drag Scroll is a custom keycode for Ploopy devices that allows you to hold or tap a button and have the mouse movement translate into scrolling instead.
|
|
|
|
Nothing needs to be enabled to use this functionality; it's enabled on Madromys by default.
|
|
|
|
### Drag Scroll Configuration
|
|
|
|
* `#define PLOOPY_DRAGSCROLL_MOMENTARY` - Makes the key into a momentary key, rather than a toggle.
|
|
* `#define PLOOPY_DRAGSCROLL_MULTIPLIER 0.75` - Sets the DPI multiplier to use when drag scroll is enabled.
|
|
* `#define PLOOPY_DRAGSCROLL_FIXED` - Normally, when activating Drag Scroll, it uses a fraction of the current DPI. You can define this to use a specific, set DPI rather than a fraction of the current DPI.
|
|
* `#define PLOOPY_DRAGSCROLL_DPI 100` - When the fixed DPI option is enabled, this sets the DPI to be used for Drag Scroll.
|
|
* `#define PLOOPY_DRAGSCROLL_INVERT` - This reverses the direction that the scroll is performed.
|
|
* `#define PLOOPY_DRAGSCROLL_SEMAPHORE` - This is a divisor on the drag scroll sensitivity. The default is 0, which means that the drag scroll is at maximum sensitivity. A value of 4 would mean that the drag scroll is 4 times less sensitive. |
