## Flashing Instructions (Mac)
*When flashing the keyboard from a Mac, you must delete some files that are automatically created by the operating system in order to prevent bricking your keyboard. Original information from /u/pawlwall from https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/520cov/using_an_originative_tada86_on_a_mac/*
1) from the `qmk_firmware\` directory run:
```
$ make tada68:default:flashbin
```
2) Connect your keyboard to your Mac, hit the reset button on the bottom of the TADA, the lights will start flashing.
3) You'll see a new drive on your computer called TADA68. Backup the original factory `FLASH.BIN` file that's inside it.
4) Open the terminal and cd to the folder where the keyboard has been mounted
`cd /Volumes/TADA68\ /`
5) Copy over your new firmware to the keyboard
`cp -r <path to your qmk_firmware folder>/FLASH.bin .`
6) Remove files that MacOS automatically created which interfere with the keyboard
`rm -fr .Trashes/ .fseventsd/ ._.Trashes ._FLASH.bin`
7) Eject the USB device or hit ESC on the keyboard. The lights will stop flashing and your firmware is loaded!
