It assumes a Pro Micro is being used, however retains the 'make upload' feature from the Atreus branch. This keyboard uses a completely different 'matrix scan' system to other keyboards, it relies on an external nRF51822 microcontroller maintaining a matrix of keystates received from the keyboard halves. The matrix.c file contains the code to poll the external microcontroller for the key matrix.

Here, QMK runs in a Pro Micro on a receiver module, and communicates only with an nRF51822 microcontroller module that in turn does wireless communication. The nRF51822 maintains a matrix of keystates received from the same microcontrollers on each of the keyboard halves. The matrix.c file contains the code to make the Pro Micro poll the external wireless microcontroller for the key matrix. As long as this file is not changed, all other QMK features are supported. -Build log of the keyboard can be found [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/66588f/wireless_split_qmk_mitosis/) +[Mitosis keyboard build log](https://imgur.com/a/mwTFj), including many photos and notes about the assembly process. -Hardware design files can be found [here](https://github.com/reversebias/mitosis-hardware) +[Mitosis keyboard hardware design files](https://github.com/reversebias/mitosis-hardware), including PCB schematics and manufacturing files, parts list, and a laser-cutting template for the neoprene base. -Firmware for the nordic MCUs can be found [here](https://github.com/reversebias/mitosis) +[Mitosis keyboard wireless firmware](https://github.com/reversebias/mitosis) for the Nordic microcontrollers. |
