    ## Compiling and flashing QMK firmware

    1. Go to the directory where you have checked out the [qmk firmware](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware)
    2. Run `env CTPC=yes qmk flash -kb launchpad -km default`
    3. When it says `Detecting USB port, reset your controller now...`, press the reset button on the Proton C or the reset
    button on the Launch Pad if you soldered one on

    ## Compiling and flashing VIA firmware

    2. Run `env VIA_ENABLE=yes CTPC=yes qmk flash -kb launchpad -km via`
    3. When it says `Detecting USB port, reset your controller now...`, press the reset button on the Proton C or the reset
    button on the Launch Pad if you soldered one on
