 Split keyboard firmware for Arduino Pro Micro or other ATmega32u4
 based boards.

+## First Time Setup
+
+Download or clone the whole firmware and navigate to the keyboards/lets_split directory. Once your dev env is setup, you'll be able to generate the default .hex using:
+
+```
+$ make rev2
+```
+
+You will see a lot of output and if everything worked correctly you will see the built hex files:
+
+```
+lets_split_rev2_serial.hex
+lets_split_rev2_i2c.hex
+```
+
+If you would like to use one of the alternative keymaps, or create your own, copy one of the existing [keymaps](keymaps/) and run make like so:
+
+
+```
+$ make rev2-YOUR_KEYMAP_NAME
+```
+
+If everything worked correctly you will see a file:
+
+```
+lets_split_rev2_YOUR_KEYMAP_NAME.hex
+```
+
+For more information on customizing keymaps, take a look at the primary documentation for [Customizing Your Keymap](/readme.md##customizing-your-keymap) in the main readme.md.
+
+### Let's split 1.0
+If you have a first generation Let's Split you will need to use the revision 1 code. To do so, use `rev1` in all your commands instead.

+Choosing which board to plug the USB cable into (choosing Master)
+--------
+Because the two boards are identical, the firmware has logic to differentiate the left and right board.
+
+It uses two strategies to figure things out: look at the EEPROM (memory on the chip) or looks if the current board has the usb cable.
+
+The EEPROM approach requires additional setup (flashing the eeeprom) but allows you to swap the usb cable to either side.
+
+The USB cable approach is easier to setup and if you just want the usb cable on the left board, you do not need to do anything extra.
+
+### Setting the left hand as master
+If you always plug the usb cable into the left board, nothing extra is needed as this is the default. Comment out `EE_HANDS` and comment out `I2C_MASTER_RIGHT` or `MASTER_RIGHT` if for some reason it was set.
+
+### Setting the right hand as master
+If you always plug the usb cable into the right board, add an extra flag to your `config.h`
+```
+ #define MASTER_RIGHT
+```
+
+### Setting EE_hands to use either hands as master
 If you define `EE_HANDS` in your `config.h`, you will need to set the

+
+The EEPROM is used to store whether the
 half is left handed or right handed. This makes it so that the same firmware
 file will run on both hands instead of having to flash left and right handed
 versions of the firmware to each half. To flash the EEPROM file for the left
 half run:
 ```
-make eeprom-left
+avrdude -p atmega32u4 -P $(COM_PORT) -c avr109 -U eeprom:w:eeprom-lefthand.eep
+// or the equivalent in dfu-programmer

 and similarly for right half
 ```
-make eeprom-right
+avrdude -p atmega32u4 -P $(COM_PORT) -c avr109 -U eeprom:w:eeprom-righhand.eep
+// or the equivalent in dfu-programmer

 different keymaps for each half. You could program the left half with a QWERTY
