Setting up Pinchord on Javelin

Instructions for manually building Pinchord for Javelin.

Note that Pinchord is in Pre-release, meaning that it not stable yet! It is ready for full time use for those interested, so you can still try it out if you'd like :)

Pre-built firmware images may exist for your board. If you're fine with the defaults, see that list :)

Instructions

If you use Javelin, back up your User Dictionary and Layout from the Web Tools before flashing Pinchord

• Heed the warning that Pinchord is in pre-release
• Clone pinchord.git (git clone https://grahp.dev/pinchord.git) (or download the zip file if the clone doesn't work for whatever reason, see Setting up Pinchord)
• head to https://lim.au/#/software/javelin-steno
• Check "Show Expert Options"
• Upload the system under the "System" section, "System File:", hit the "Select" Button (pinchord-javelin-system-vx.x.yaml)
• Uncheck the default "Jeff's Numbers dictionary" (none of the dictionaries in the Javelin list work with Pinchord)
• Upload the dictionary (pinchord-javelin-dictionary-vx.x.yaml) from "Add Orthospelling YAML" in the Dictionaries section
• If you're adding other dictionaries (such as Pinchord punctuation), add those dictionaries with the "Add JSON / RTF Dictionary" button - make sure that they're above "Pinchord Base" in the Dictionary List, otherwise the dictionary will be shadowed
• Upload the layout under the "Key Map" section with the "Load Layout" button (pinchord-javelin-layout-vx.x.javelin-layout)
• Hit "Create Firmware"
• Follow the flashing instructions :)
