Build and burn default keymap

In your qmk directory,

Just building firmware

make dm9records/plaid:default

Build and burn to plaid

After entering bootloader mode,

make dm9records/plaid:default:flash

avr-gcc version

With avr-gcc 8.2.0, you may encounter an error similar to ERROR: address 0x8002a7 out of range at line 920 of .build/plaid_default.hex. To work around this on macOS, install an older version of avr-gcc with homebrew,

brew uninstall avr-gcc
brew install avr-gcc@7
brew link --force avr-gcc@7

And then re-run make dm9records/plaid:default:flash.

Test with wire

When you burn default keymap, test without soldering switches.
You can use any wire and connect switch pads on pcb.
