1# This guide has now been included in the main readme - please reference that one instead.

3## Build Environment Setup
4
5### Windows (Vista and later)
61. If you have ever installed WinAVR, uninstall it.
72. Install [MHV AVR Tools](https://infernoembedded.com/sites/default/files/project/MHV_AVR_Tools_20131101.exe). Disable smatch, but **be sure to leave the option to add the tools to the PATH checked**.
83. Install [MinGW](https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Installer/mingw-get-setup.exe/download). During installation, uncheck the option to install a graphical user interface. **DO NOT change the default installation folder.** The scripts depend on the default location.
94. Clone this repository. [This link will download it as a zip file, which you'll need to extract.](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/archive/master.zip) Open the extracted folder in Windows Explorer.
105. Double-click on the 1-setup-path-win batch script to run it. You'll need to accept a User Account Control prompt. Press the spacebar to dismiss the success message in the command prompt that pops up.
116. Right-click on the 2-setup-environment-win batch script, select "Run as administrator", and accept the User Account Control prompt. This part may take a couple of minutes, and you'll need to approve a driver installation, but once it finishes, your environment is complete!
127. Future build commands should be run from the standard Windows command prompt, which you can find by searching for "command prompt" from the start menu or start screen. Ignore the "MHV AVR Shell".
13
14### Mac
15If you're using [homebrew,](http://brew.sh/) you can use the following commands:
16
17 brew tap osx-cross/avr
18 brew install avr-libc
19 brew install dfu-programmer
20
21This is the recommended method. If you don't have homebrew, [install it!](http://brew.sh/) It's very much worth it for anyone who works in the command line.
22
23You can also try these instructions:
24
251. Install Xcode from the App Store.
262. Install the Command Line Tools from `Xcode->Preferences->Downloads`.
273. Install [DFU-Programmer][dfu-prog].
28
29### Linux
30Install AVR GCC, AVR libc, and dfu-progammer with your favorite package manager.
31
32Debian/Ubuntu example:
33
34 sudo apt-get update
35 sudo apt-get install gcc-avr avr-libc dfu-programmer
36
37### Vagrant
38If you have any problems building the firmware, you can try using a tool called Vagrant. It will set up a virtual computer with a known configuration that's ready-to-go for firmware building. OLKB does NOT host the files for this virtual computer. Details on how to set up Vagrant are in the [VAGRANT_GUIDE file](VAGRANT_GUIDE.md).
39
40## Verify Your Installation
411. If you haven't already, obtain this repository ([https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware)). You can either download it as a zip file and extract it, or clone it using the command line tool git or the Github Desktop application.
422. Open up a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the `qmk_firmware` folder using the `cd` command. The command prompt will typically open to your home directory. If, for example, you cloned the repository to your Documents folder, then you would type `cd Documents/qmk_firmware`. If you extracted the file from a zip, then it may be named `qmk_firmware-master` instead.
433. To confirm that you're in the correct location, you can display the contents of your current folder using the `dir` command on Windows, or the `ls` command on Linux or Mac. You should see several files, including `readme.md` and a `quantum` folder. From here, you need to navigate to the appropriate folder under `keyboards/`. For example, if you're building for a Planck, run `cd keyboards/planck`.
444. Once you're in the correct keyboard-specific folder, run the `make` command. This should output a lot of information about the build process. More information about the `make` command can be found below.
45
46## Customizing, Building, and Deploying Your Firmware
47
48### The Make command
49
50The `make` command is how you compile the firmware into a .hex file, which can be loaded by a dfu programmer (like dfu-progammer via `make dfu`) or the [Teensy loader](https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/loader.html) (only used with Teensys). You can run `make` from the root (`/`), your keyboard folder (`/keyboards/<keyboard>/`), or your keymap folder (`/keyboards/<keyboard>/keymaps/<keymap>/`) if you have a `Makefile` there (see the example [here](/doc/keymap_makefile_example.mk)).
51
52By default, this will generate a `<keyboard>_<keymap>.hex` file in whichever folder you run `make` from. These files are ignored by git, so don't worry about deleting them when committing/creating pull requests.
53
54* The "root" (`/`) folder is the qmk_firmware folder, in which are `doc`, `keyboard`, `quantum`, etc.
55* The "keyboard" folder is any keyboard project's folder, like `/keyboards/planck`.
56* The "keymap" folder is any keymap's folder, like `/keyboards/planck/keymaps/default`.
57
58Below is a list of the useful `make` commands in QMK:
59
60* `make` - cleans automatically and builds your keyboard and keymap depending on which folder you're in. This defaults to the "default" layout (unless in a keymap folder), and Planck keyboard in the root folder
61 * `make keyboard=<keyboard>` - specifies the keyboard (only to be used in root)
62 * `make keymap=<keymap>` - specifies the keymap (only to be used in root and keyboard folder - not needed when in keymap folder)
63* `make quick` - skips the clean step (cannot be used immediately after modifying config.h or Makefiles)
64* `make dfu` - (requires dfu-programmer) builds and flashes the keymap to your keyboard once placed in reset/dfu mode (button or press `KC_RESET`). This does not work for Teensy-based keyboards like the ErgoDox EZ.
65 * `keyboard=` and `keymap=` are compatible with this
66* `make all-keyboards` - builds all keymaps for all keyboards and outputs status of each (use in root)
67* `make all-keyboards-default` - builds all default keymaps for all keyboards and outputs status of each (use in root)
68* `make all-keymaps [keyboard=<keyboard>]` - builds all of the keymaps for whatever keyboard folder you're in, or specified by `<keyboard>`
69* `make all-keyboards-quick`, `make all-keyboards-default-quick` and `make all-keymaps-quick [keyboard=<keyboard>]` - like the normal "make-all-*" commands, but they skip the clean steps
70
71Other, less useful functionality:
72
73* `make COLOR=false` - turns off color output
74* `make SILENT=true` - turns off output besides errors/warnings
75* `make VERBOSE=true` - outputs all of the avr-gcc stuff (not interesting)
76
77### The Makefile
78
79There are 3 different `make` and `Makefile` locations:
80
81* root (`/`)
82* keyboard (`/keyboards/<keyboard>/`)
83* keymap (`/keyboards/<keyboard>/keymaps/<keymap>/`)
84
85The root contains the code used to automatically figure out which keymap or keymaps to compile based on your current directory and commandline arguments. It's considered stable, and shouldn't be modified. The keyboard one will contain the MCU set-up and default settings for your keyboard, and shouldn't be modified unless you are the producer of that keyboard. The keymap Makefile can be modified by users, and is optional. It is included automatically if it exists. You can see an example [here](/doc/keymap_makefile_example.mk) - the last few lines are the most important. The settings you set here will override any defaults set in the keyboard Makefile. **It is required if you want to run `make` in the keymap folder.**
86
87### The `config.h` file
88
89There are 2 `config.h` locations:
90
91* keyboard (`/keyboards/<keyboard>/`)
92* keymap (`/keyboards/<keyboard>/keymaps/<keymap>/`)
93
94The keyboard `config.h` is included only if the keymap one doesn't exist. The format to use for your custom one [is here](/doc/keymap_config_h_example.h). If you want to override a setting from the parent `config.h` file, you need to do this:
95
96```
97#undef MY_SETTING
98#define MY_SETTING 4
99```
100
101For a value of `4` for this imaginary setting. So we `undef` it first, then `define` it.
102
103You can then override any settings, rather than having to copy and paste the whole thing.

1#Planck Advanced (but not too advanced) `cygwin` Users Guide
2If you are a user of the [cygwin environment](https://cygwin.com) in Windows and want the freedom to use the latest tools available, then this is the guide for you. If compiling your own copy of the latest and greatest Gnu C Compiler makes you super happy, then this is the guide for you. If the command line make you smile, then this is the guide for you.
3
4This guide was written step by step as I went through the process on a `Windows 10` `x86_64` and a `Windows 7` `amd k10` based system. This should be generally applicable to to any `Windows` environment with `cygwin`.
5
6#####Do not skip steps. Do not move past a step until the previous step finishes successfully.
7
8Based on [avr-libc installation guide](http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/user-manual/install_tools.html)
9
10##Get the Required Packages
11Download the `cygwin` setup ([x86_64](https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe)) and install the default system plus the following if they are not already selected:
12- devel/git
13- devel/gcc-core
14- devel/gcc-g++
15- devel/flex
16- devel/bison
17- devel/make
18- devel/texinfo
19- devel/gettext-devel
20- devel/automake
21- devel/autoconfig
22- devel/libtool
23- text/gettext
24- libs/libgcc1
25- interpreters/m4
26- web/wget
27- archive/unzip
28
29The following sources will be required:
30- [gmp](https://gmplib.org/) (6.1.0)
31- [mpfr](http://www.mpfr.org/) (3.1.4)
32- [mpc](http://www.multiprecision.org/) (1.0.3)
33- [binutils](https://www.sourceware.org/binutils/) (2.26)
34- [gcc](https://gcc.gnu.org/) (5.3.0)
35- [avr-libc](http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/) (2.0.0)
36
37The `dfu-programmer` will be required to flash the new firmware
38- [dfu-programmer](https://dfu-programmer.github.io/) (0.7.2)
39
40The set of commands below will create a directory (`~/local/avr`) for the sources you compile to be installed on the machine and a directory (`~/src`) for these source files to be stored. The commands then download the sources of the needed packages and unpack them. Note: the expand commands are different depending on if the packages are offered as a `bz2` or `gz` archive
41```
42$ mkdir ~/local
43$ mkdir ~/local/avr
44$ mkdir ~/src
45$ cd ~/src
46$ wget https://gmplib.org/download/gmp/gmp-6.1.0.tar.bz2
47$ wget http://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-3.1.4/mpfr-3.1.4.tar.bz2
48$ wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mpc/mpc-1.0.3.tar.gz
49$ wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.26.tar.gz
50$ wget http://mirror0.babylon.network/gcc/releases/gcc-5.3.0/gcc-5.3.0.tar.gz
51$ wget http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/avr-libc/avr-libc-2.0.0.tar.bz2
52$ tar -xjf gmp-6.1.0.tar.bz2
53$ tar -xjf mpfr-3.1.4.tar.bz2
54$ tar -zxf mpc-1.0.3.tar.gz
55$ tar -zxf binutils-2.26.tar.gz
56$ tar -zxf gcc-5.3.0.tar.gz
57$ tar -xjf avr-libc-2.0.0.tar.bz2
58```
59
60##Setup the Build Environment
61These commands will set up the install directory and the `PATH` variable, which will allow you to access your installed packages. Note: if you close the `cygwin` terminal window, you will need to rerun these commands, they are not permanent.
62```
63$ PREFIX=$HOME/local/avr
64$ export PREFIX
65$ PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/include:/bin:/lib:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS
66$ PATH=$PATH:$PREFIX/bin:$PREFIX/lib
67$ export PATH
68```
69
70##The `gcc` Required Math Library Packages
71The following packages are required to be complied and installed in order to compile `gcc`. They are not sufficiently available through the `cygwin` package system, so we have to make them ourselves. They must be complied in this order because each one depends on the previous. Verfiy that for each package, `make check` returns all passing and no fails.
72
73###Build and Install `gmp`
74```
75$ cd ~/src/gmp-6.1.0
76$ ./configure --enable-static --disable-shared
77$ make
78$ make check
79$ make install
80```
81
82###Build and Install `mpfr`
83```
84$ cd ~/src/mpfr-3.1.4
85$ ./configure --with-gmp-build=../gmp-6.1.0 --enable-static --disable-shared
86$ make
87$ make check
88$ make install
89```
90
91###Build and Install `mpc`
92```
93$ cd ~/src/mpc-1.0.3
94$ ./configure --with-gmp=/usr/local --with-mpfr=/usr/local --enable-static --disable-shared
95$ make
96$ make check
97$ make install
98```
99
100##OPTIONAL Part
101You can build and install a brand new `gcc` or you can use the one supplied by `cygwin`. This will take about 4-5 hours to compile (It is a "native build", so it does the entire build **3 times**. This takes a long while).
102
103###Build and Install `gcc` for Your Machine
104```
105$ cd ~/src/gcc-5.3.0
106$ mkdir obj-local
107$ cd obj-local
108$ ../configure --enable-languages=c,c++ --with-gmp=/usr/local --with-mpfr=/usr/local --with-mpc=/usr/local --enable-static --disable-shared
109$ make
110$ make install
111```
112##End OPTIONAL Part
113
114###Build and Install `binutils` for Your Machine
115```
116$ cd ~/src/binutils-2.26
117$ mkdir obj-local
118$ cd obj-local
119$ ../configure
120$ make
121$ make install
122```
123
124##Buliding `binutils`, `gcc`, and `avr-libc` for the AVR system
125Now we can make the critical stuff for compiling our firmware: `binutils`, `gcc`, and `avr-libc` for the AVR architecture. These allow us to build and manipulate the firmware for the keyboard.
126
127###Build `binutils` for AVR
128If you plan to build and install `avr-gdb` also, use the `gdb` install at the end of this guide as it also builds the `binutils`
129```
130$ cd ~/src/binutils-2.26
131$ mkdir obj-avr
132$ cd obj-avr
133$ ../configure --prefix=$PREFIX --target=avr --disable-nls
134$ make
135$ make install
136```
137
138###Build `gcc` for AVR
139```
140$ cd ~/src/gcc-5.3.0
141$ mkdir obj-avr
142$ cd obj-avr
143$ ../configure --prefix=$PREFIX --target=avr --enable-languages=c,c++ --with-gmp=/usr/local --with-mpfr=/usr/local --with-mpc=/usr/local --enable-static --disable-shared --disable-nls --disable-libssp --with-dwarf2
144$ make
145$ make install
146```
147
148###Build `avr-libc` for AVR
149For building the `avr-libc`, we have to specify the host build system. In my case it is `x86_64-unknown-cygwin`. You can look for build system type in the `gcc` configure notes for the proper `--build` specification to pass when you configure `avr-libc`.
150```
151$ cd ~/src/avr-libc-2.0.0
152$ ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX --build=x86_64-unknown-cygwin --host=avr
153$ make
154$ make install
155```
156
157##Building 'dfu-programmer' for flashing the firmware via USB and installing the drivers
158We can either build our own, or use the precomplied binaries. The precompiled binaries don't play well with `cygwin` so it is better to build them ourselves. The procedure for the precompiled binaries is included at the end of this guide.
159
160### Build and Install the `libusb`
161The `dfu-programmer` requires `libusb` so that it can interact with the USB system. These repos must be bootstrapped in order to create an appropriate `./configure` and `Makefile` for your system.
162```
163$ cd ~/src
164$ git clone https://github.com/libusb/libusb.git
165$ cd libusb
166$ ./bootstrap.sh
167$ ./configure
168$ make
169$ make install
170```
171
172### Build and Install the `dfu-programmer`
173```
174$ cd ~/src
175$ git clone https://github.com/dfu-programmer/dfu-programmer.git
176$ cd dfu-programmer
177$ ./bootstrap.sh
178$ ./configure
179$ make
180$ make install
181```
182
183Verify the installation with:
184```
185$ which dfu-programmer
186/usr/local/bin/dfu-programmer
187
188$ dfu-programmer
189dfu-programmer 0.7.2
190https://github.com/dfu-programmer/dfu-programmer
191Type 'dfu-programmer --help' for a list of commands
192 'dfu-programmer --targets' to list supported target devices
193```
194If you are not getting the above result, you will not be able to flash the firmware!
195
196###Install the USB drivers
197The drivers are included in the windows binary version of [`dfu-programmer` 0.7.2](http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/project/dfu-programmer/dfu-programmer/0.7.2/dfu-programmer-win-0.7.2.zip).
198```
199$ cd ~/src
200$ wget http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/project/dfu-programmer/dfu-programmer/0.7.2/dfu-programmer-win-0.7.2.zip
201$ unzip dfu-programmer-win-0.7.2.zip -d dfu-programmer-win-0.7.2
202```
203
204or
205
206The official drivers are found in [Atmel's `FLIP` installer](http://www.atmel.com/images/Flip%20Installer%20-%203.4.7.112.exe). Download and then install `FLIP`. Upon installation, the drivers will be found in `C:\Program Files (x86)\Atmel\Flip 3.4.7\usb`.
207
208Then, from an **administrator-privileged** `Windows` terminal, run the following command (adjust the path for username, etc. as necessary) and accept the prompt that pops up:
209```
210C:\> pnputil -i -a C:\cygwin64\home\Kevin\src\dfu-programmer-win-0.7.2\dfu-prog-usb-1.2.2\atmel_usb_dfu.inf
211or
212C:\> pnputil -i -a "C:\Program Files (x86)\Atmel\Flip 3.4.7\usb\atmel_usb_dfu.inf"
213```
214
215This should be the result:
216```
217Microsoft PnP Utility
218
219Processing inf : atmel_usb_dfu.inf
220Successfully installed the driver on a device on the system.
221Driver package added successfully.
222Published name : oem104.inf
223
224
225Total attempted: 1
226Number successfully imported: 1
227```
228
229Alternatively, the `Windows` driver can be installed when prompted by `Windows` when the keyboard is attached. Do not let `Windows` search for a driver; specify the path to search for a driver and point it to the `atmel_usb_dfu.inf` file.
230
231##Building and Flashing the Planck firmware!
232If you did everything else right. This part should be a snap! Grab the latest sources from `github`, make the Plank firmware, then flash it.
233
234###Build Planck and Load the Firmware
235```
236$ cd ~/src
237$ git clone https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware.git
238$ cd qmk_firmware/keyboards/planck
239$ make
240```
241
242Make sure there are no errors. You should end up with this or something similar:
243```
244Creating load file for Flash: planck.hex
245avr-objcopy -O ihex -R .eeprom -R .fuse -R .lock -R .signature planck.elf planck.hex
246
247Creating load file for EEPROM: planck.eep
248avr-objcopy -j .eeprom --set-section-flags=.eeprom="alloc,load" \
249--change-section-lma .eeprom=0 --no-change-warnings -O ihex planck.elf planck.eep || exit 0
250
251Creating Extended Listing: planck.lss
252avr-objdump -h -S -z planck.elf > planck.lss
253
254Creating Symbol Table: planck.sym
255avr-nm -n planck.elf > planck.sym
256
257Size after:
258 text data bss dec hex filename
259 18602 82 155 18839 4997 planck.elf
260
261-------- end --------
262```
263
264If you do not get the above, you **did not** build the firmware, and you will have nothing to flash. If you have the fresh clone from `github`, it was probably something gone wrong in this install process, go check and see what didn't work and threw errors or what steps you might have missed.
265
266But if everything went OK, you are ready to flash! Press the reset button on the bottom of the Planck, wait two seconds, then:
267```
268$ make dfu
269```
270.

281###Installing Precompiled `dfu-programmer` Binaries (not recommended for `cygwin`)
282To install the `dfu-programmer` from the binaries, we must get if from [the `dfu-programmer` website](https://dfu-programmer.github.io/) ([0.7.2](http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/project/dfu-programmer/dfu-programmer/0.7.2/dfu-programmer-win-0.7.2.zip)).
283
284Copy this file into your `cygwin` home\src directory. (For me, it is `C:\cygwin64\home\Kevin\src`), extract the files, move `dfu-programmer.exe` to `~/local/avr/bin`. Most obnoxiously, the `libusb0_x86.dll` and `libusb0.sys` need to be moved from `./dfu-prog-usb-1.2.2/x86/` to a directory in the `Windows` `PATH` and the `cygwin` `PATH`. This is because the `dfu-programmer` binary is `mingw` based, not `cygwin` based, so the `dlls` do not cooperate. I achieved acceptable pathing by moving the files to `C:\cygwin64\home\Kevin\local\avr\bin` Then, in a `WINDOWS` command prompt running (Adjusting your path for username, etc. as needed):
285```
286C:\> set PATH=%PATH%;C:\cygwin64\home\Kevin\local\avr\bin
287```
288
289Then, rename `libusb0_x86.dll` to `libusb0.dll`.
290
291You can tell that you were successful by trying to execute 'dfu-programmer' from the 'cygwin' prompt:
292```
293$ which dfu-programmer
294/home/Kevin/local/avr/bin/dfu-programmer
295
296$ dfu-programmer
297dfu-programmer 0.7.2
298https://github.com/dfu-programmer/dfu-programmer
299Type 'dfu-programmer --help' for a list of commands
300 'dfu-programmer --targets' to list supported target devices
301```
302
303If you are not getting the above result, you will not be able to flash the firmware!
304- Try making sure your `PATH` variables are set correctly for both `Windows` and `cygwin`.
305- Make sure the `dll` is named correctly.
306- Do not extract it with `cygwin`'s `unzip` as it does not set the executable permission. If you did it anyway, do `chmod +x dfu-programmer.exe`.
307- Still have problems? Try building it instead.
308
309
310##Debugging Tools
311
312These tools are for debugging your firmware, etc. before flashing. Theoretically, it can save your memory from wearing out. However, these tool do not work 100% for the Planck firmware.
313
314### `gdb` for AVR
315`gdb` has a simulator for AVR but it does not support all instructions (like WDT), so it immediately crashes when running the Planck firmware (because `lufa.c` disables the WDT in the first few lines of execution). But it can still be useful in debugging example code and test cases, if you know how to use it.
316
317```
318$ cd ~/src
319$ git clone git://sourceware.org/git/binutils-gdb.git
320$ cd binutils-gdb
321$ mkdir obj-avr
322$ cd obj-avr
323$ ../configure --prefix=$PREFIX --target=avr --build=x86_64-unknown-cygwin --with-gmp=/usr/local --with-mpfr=/usr/local --with-mpc=/usr/local --disable-nls --enable-static
324$ make
325$ make install
326```
327
328### `simulavr`
329`simulavr` is an AVR simulator. It runs the complied AVR elfs. `simulavr` does not support the `atmega32u4` device... it does `atmega32` but that is not good enough for the firmware (no PORTE and other things), so you cannot run the Planck firmware. I use it to simulate ideas I have for features in separate test projects.
330
331This one is a major pain in the butt because it has a lot of dependencies and it is buggy. I will do my best to explain it but... it was hard to figure out. A few things need to be changed in the 'Makefile' to make it work in `cygwin`.
332
333
334```
335$ cd ~/src
336$ git clone https://github.com/Traumflug/simulavr.git
337$ cd simulavr
338$ ./bootstrap
339$ ./configure --prefix=$PREFIX --enable-static --disable-tcl --disable-doxygen-doc
340```
341 Edit `src/Makefile.am` now so that `-no-undefined` is included (I did this by removing the SYS_MINGW conditional surrounding `libsim_la_LDFLAGS += -no-undefined` and `libsimulavr_la_LDFLAGS += -no-undefined \ libsimulavr_la_LIBADD += $(TCL_LIB)`. Also, `$(EXEEXT)` is added after `kbdgentables` in two places.
342
343```
344$ make
345$ make install
346```
347
348
349TODO:
350- git repos for all sources
351- command line magic for cygwin setup
352- better options for `dfu-drivers`

14## How the matrix works (why we need diodes)
15
16The microcontroller (in this case, the Teensy 2.0) will be setup up via the firmware to send a logical 1 to the columns, one at a time, and read from the rows, all at once - this process is called matrix scanning. The matrix is a bunch of open switches that, by default, don't allow any current to pass through - the firmware will read this as no keys being pressed. As soon as you press one key down, the logical 1 that was coming from the column the keyswitch is attached to gets passed through the switch and to the corresponding row - check out the following 2x2 example:
17
18 Column 0 being scanned Column 1 being scanned
19 x x
20 col0 col1 col0 col1
21 | | | |
22 row0 ---(key0)---(key1) row0 ---(key0)---(key1)
23 | | | |
24 row1 ---(key2)---(key3) row1 ---(key2)---(key3)
25
26The `x` represents that the column/row associated has a value of 1, or is HIGH. Here, we see that no keys are being pressed, so no rows get an `x`. For one keyswitch, keep in mind that one side of the contacts is connected to its row, and the other, its column.
27
28When we press `key0`, `col0` gets connected to `row0`, so the values that the firmware receives for that row is `0b01` (the `0b` here means that this is a bit value, meaning all of the following digits are bits - 0 or 1 - and represent the keys in that column). We'll use this notation to show when a keyswitch has been pressed, to show that the column and row are being connected:
29
30 Column 0 being scanned Column 1 being scanned
31 x x
32 col0 col1 col0 col1
33 | | | |
34 x row0 ---(-+-0)---(key1) row0 ---(-+-0)---(key1)
35 | | | |
36 row1 ---(key2)---(key3) row1 ---(key2)---(key3)
37
38We can now see that `row0` has an `x`, so has the value of 1. As a whole, the data the firmware receives when `key0` is pressed is
39
40 col0: 0b01
41 col1: 0b00
42 │└row0
43 └row1
44
45A problem arises when you start pressing more than one key at a time. Looking at our matrix again, it should become pretty obvious:
46
47 Column 0 being scanned Column 1 being scanned
48 x x
49 col0 col1 col0 col1
50 | | | |
51 x row0 ---(-+-0)---(-+-1) x row0 ---(-+-0)---(-+-1)
52 | | | |
53 x row1 ---(key2)---(-+-3) x row1 ---(key2)---(-+-3)
54
55 Remember that this ^ is still connected to row1
56
57The data we get from that is:
58
59 col0: 0b11
60 col1: 0b11
61 │└row0
62 └row1
63
64Which isn't accurate, since we only have 3 keys pressed down, not all 4. This behavior is called ghosting, and only happens in odd scenarios like this, but can be much more common on a bigger keyboard. The way we can get around this is by placing a diode after the keyswitch, but before it connects to its row. A diode only allows current to pass through one way, which will protect our other columns/rows from being activated in the previous example. We'll represent a dioded matrix like this;
65
66 Column 0 being scanned Column 1 being scanned
67 x x
68 col0 col1 col0 col1
69 │ │ | │
70 (key0) (key1) (key0) (key1)
71 ! │ ! │ ! | ! │
72 row0 ─────┴────────┘ │ row0 ─────┴────────┘ │
73 │ │ | │
74 (key2) (key3) (key2) (key3)
75 ! ! ! !
76 row1 ─────┴────────┘ row1 ─────┴────────┘
77
78In practical applications, the black line of the diode will be placed facing the row, and away from the keyswitch - the `!` in this case is the diode, where the gap represents the black line. A good way to remember this is to think of this symbol: `>|`
79
80Now when we press the three keys, invoking what would be a ghosting scenario:
81
82 Column 0 being scanned Column 1 being scanned
83 x x
84 col0 col1 col0 col1
85 │ │ │ │
86 (┌─┤0) (┌─┤1) (┌─┤0) (┌─┤1)
87 ! │ ! │ ! │ ! │
88 x row0 ─────┴────────┘ │ x row0 ─────┴────────┘ │
89 │ │ │ │
90 (key2) (┌─┘3) (key2) (┌─┘3)
91 ! ! ! !
92 row1 ─────┴────────┘ x row1 ─────┴────────┘
93
94Things act as they should! Which will get us the following data:
95
96 col0: 0b01
97 col1: 0b11
98 │└row0
99 └row1
100
101The firmware can then use this correct data to detect what it should do, and eventually, what signals it needs to send to the OS.
102
103## The actual hand-wiring
104
105### Getting things in place
106
107When starting this, you should have all of your stabilisers and keyswitches already installed (and optionally keycaps). If you're using a Cherry-type stabiliser (plate-mounted only, obviously), you'll need to install that before your keyswitches. If you're using Costar ones, you can installed them afterwards.
108
109To make things easier on yourself, make sure all of the keyswitches are oriented the same way (if they can be - not all layouts support this). Despite this, it's important to remember that the contacts on the keyswitches are completely symmetrical. We'll be using the keyswitch's left side contact for wiring the rows, and the right side one for wiring the columns.
110
111Get your soldering iron heated-up and collect the rest of the materials from the part list at the beginning of the guide. Place your keyboard so that the bottoms of the keyswitches are accessible - it may be a good idea to place it on a cloth to protect your keyswitches/keycaps.
112
113Before continuing, plan out where you're going to place your Teensy. If you're working with a board that has a large (6.25u) spacebar, it may be a good idea to place it in-between switches against the plate. Otherwise, you may want to trim some of the leads on the keyswitches where you plan on putting it - this will make it a little harder to solder the wire/diodes, but give you more room to place the Teensy.
114
115### Preparing the diodes
116
117It's a little easier to solder the diodes in place if you bend them at a 90º angle immediately after the black line - this will help to make sure you put them on the right way (direction matters), and in the correct position. The diodes will look like this when bent (with longer leads):
118
119 ┌─────┬─┐
120 ───┤ │ ├─┐
121 └─────┴─┘ │
122
123
124We'll be using the long lead at the bent end to connect it to the elbow (bent part) of the next diode, creating the row.
125
126### Soldering the diodes
127
128Starting at the top-left switch, place the diode (with tweezers if you have them) on the switch so that the diode itself is vertically aligned, and the black line is facing toward you. The straight end of the diode should be touching the left contact on the switch, and the bent end should be facing to the right and resting on the switch there, like this:
129
130 │o
131 ┌┴┐ o
132 │ │ O
133 ├─┤
134 └┬┘
135 └─────────────
136
137Letting the diode rest, grab your solder, and touch both it and the soldering iron to the left contact at the same time - the rosin in the solder should make it easy for the solder to flow over both the diode and the keyswitch contact. The diode may move a little, and if it does, carefully position it back it place by grabbing the bent end of the diode - the other end will become hot very quickly. If you find that it's moving too much, using needle-nose pliers of some sort may help to keep the diode still when soldering.
138
139The smoke that the rosin releases is harmful, so be careful not to breath it or get it in your eyes/face.
140
141After soldering things in place, it may be helpful to blow on the joint to push the smoke away from your face, and cool the solder quicker. You should see the solder develop a matte (not shiney) surface as it solidifies. Keep in mind that it will still be very hot afterwards, and will take a couple minutes to be cool to touch. Blow on it will accelerate this process.
142
143When the first diode is complete, the next one will need to be soldered to both the keyswitch, and the previous diode at the new elbow. That will look something like this:
144
145 │o │o
146 ┌┴┐ o ┌┴┐ o
147 │ │ O │ │ O
148 ├─┤ ├─┤
149 └┬┘ └┬┘
150 └────────────────┴─────────────
151
152After completing a row, use the wire cutters to trim the excess wire from the tops of the diodes, and from the right side on the final switch. This process will need to completed for each row you have.
153
154When all of the diodes are completely soldered, it's a good idea to quickly inspect each one to ensure that your solder joints are solid and sturdy - repairing things after this is possible, but more difficult.
155
156### Soldering the columns
157
158You'll have some options in the next process - it's a good idea to insulate the column wires (since the diodes aren't), but if you're careful enough, you can use exposed wires for the columns - it's not recommended, though. If you're using single-cored wire, stripping the plastic off of the whole wire and feeding it back on is probably the best option, but can be difficult depending on the size and materials. You'll want to leave parts of the wire exposed where you're going to be solder it onto the keyswitch.
159
160If you're using stranded wire, it's probably easiest to just use a lot of small wires to connect each keyswitch along the column. It's possible to use one and melt through the insulation, but this isn't recommended, will produce even more harmful fumes, and can ruin your soldering iron.
161
162Before beginning to solder, it helps to have your wire pre-bent (if using single-cored), or at least have an idea of how you're going to route the column (especially if you're making a staggered board). Where you go in particular doesn't matter too much, as we'll be basing our keymap definitions on how it was wired - just make sure every key in a particular row is in a unique column, and that they're in order from left to right.
163
164If you're not using any insulation, you can try to keep the column wires elevated, and solder them near the tips of the keyswitch contacts - if the wires are sturdy enough, they won't short out to the row wiring an diodes.
165
166### Wiring things to the Teensy
167
168Now that the matrix itself is complete, it's time to connect what you've done to the Teensy. You'll be needing the number of pins equal to your number of columns + your number of rows. There are some pins on the Teensy that are special, like D6 (the LED on the chip), or some of the UART, SPI, I2C, or PWM channels, but only avoid those if you're planning something in addition to a keyboard. If you're unsure about wanting to add something later, you should have enough pins in total to avoid a couple.
169
170The pins you'll absolutely have to avoid are: GND, VCC, AREF, and RST - all the others are usable and accessible in the firmware.
171
172Place the Teensy where you plan to put it - you'll have to cut wires to length in the next step, and you'll want to make sure they reach.
173
174Starting with the first column on the right side, measure out how much wire you'll need to connect it to the first pin on the Teensy - it helps to pick a side that you'll be able to work down, to keep the wires from overlapping too much. It may help to leave a little bit of slack so things aren't too tight. Cut the piece of wire, and solder it to the Teensy, and then the column - you can solder it anywhere along the column, but it may be easiest at the keyswitch. Just be sure the wire doesn't separate from the keyswitch when soldering.
175
176As you move from column to column, it'll be helpful to write the locations of the pins down. We'll use this data to setup the matrix in the future.
177
178When you're done with the columns, start with the rows in the same process, from top to bottom, and write them all down. Again, you can solder anywhere along the row, as long as it's after the diode - soldering before the diode (on the keyswitch side) will cause that row not to work.
179
180As you move along, be sure that the Teensy is staying in place - recutting and soldering the wires is a pain!
181
182### Getting some basic firmware set-up
183
184From here, you should have a working keyboard with the correct firmware. Before we attach the Teensy permanently to the keyboard, let's quickly get some firmware loaded onto the Teensy so we can test each keyswitch.
185
186To start out, download [the firmware](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/) - we'll be using my (Jack's) fork of TMK called QMK/Quantum. We'll be doing a lot from the Terminal/command prompt, so get that open, along with a decent text editor like [Sublime Text](http://www.sublimetext.com/).
187
188The first thing we're going to do is create a new project using the script in the root directory of the firmware. In your terminal, run this command with `<project_name>` replaced by the name of your project - it'll need to be different from any other project in the `keyboards/` folder:
189
190 util/new_project.sh <project_name>
191
192You'll want to navigate to the `keyboards/<project_name>/` folder by typing, like the print-out from the script specifies:
193
194 cd keyboards/<project_name>
195
196#### config.h
197
198The first thing you're going to want to modify is the `config.h` file. Find `MATRIX_ROWS` and `MATRIX_COLS` and change their definitions to match the dimensions of your keyboard's matrix.
199
200Farther down are `MATRIX_ROW_PINS` and `MATRIX_COL_PINS`. Change their definitions to match how you wired up your matrix (looking from the top of the keyboard, the rows run top-to-bottom and the columns run left-to-right). Likewise, change the definition of `UNUSED_PINS` to match the pins you did not use (this will save power).
201
202#### \<project_name\>.h
203
204The next file you'll want to look at is `<project_name>.h`. You're going to want to rewrite the `KEYMAP` definition - the format and syntax here is extremely important, so pay attention to how things are setup. The first half of the definition are considered the arguments - this is the format that you'll be following in your keymap later on, so you'll want to have as many k*xy* variables here as you do keys. The second half is the part that the firmware actually looks at, and will contain gaps depending on how you wired your matrix.
205
206We'll dive into how this will work with the following example. Say we have a keyboard like this:
207
208 ┌───┬───┬───┐
209 │ │ │ │
210 ├───┴─┬─┴───┤
211 │ │ │
212 └─────┴─────┘
213
214This can be described by saying the top row is 3 1u keys, and the bottom row is 2 1.5u keys. The difference between the two rows is important, because the bottom row has an unused column spot (3 v 2). Let's say that this is how we wired the columns:
215
216 ┌───┬───┬───┐
217 │ ┋ │ ┋ │ ┋ │
218 ├─┋─┴─┬─┴─┋─┤
219 │ ┋ │ ┋ │
220 └─────┴─────┘
221
222The middle column is unused on the bottom row in this example. Our `KEYMAP` definition would look like this:
223
224 #define KEYMAP( \
225 k00, k01, k02, \
226 k10, k11, \
227 ) \
228 { \
229 { k00, k01, k02 }, \
230 { k10, KC_NO, k11 }, \
231 }
232
233Notice how the top half is spaced to resemble our physical layout - this helps us understand which keys are associated with which columns. The bottom half uses the keycode `KC_NO` where there is no keyswitch wired in. It's easiest to keep the bottom half aligned in a grid to help us make sense of how the firmware actually sees the wiring.
234
235Let's say that instead, we wired our keyboard like this (a fair thing to do):
236
237 ┌───┬───┬───┐
238 │ ┋ │ ┋│ ┋ │
239 ├─┋─┴─┬┋┴───┤
240 │ ┋ │┋ │
241 └─────┴─────┘
242
243This would require our `KEYMAP` definition to look like this:
244
245 #define KEYMAP( \
246 k00, k01, k02, \
247 k10, k11, \
248 ) \
249 { \
250 { k00, k01, k02 }, \
251 { k10, k11, KC_NO }, \
252 }
253
254Notice how the `k11` and `KC_NO` switched places to represent the wiring, and the unused final column on the bottom row. Sometimes it'll make more sense to put a keyswitch on a particular column, but in the end, it won't matter, as long as all of them are accounted for. You can use this process to write out the `KEYMAP` for your entire keyboard - be sure to remember that your keyboard is actually backwards when looking at the underside of it.
255
256#### keymaps/default.c
257
258This is the actual keymap for your keyboard, and the main place you'll make changes as you perfect your layout. `default.c` is the file that gets pull by default when typing `make`, but you can make other files as well, and specify them by typing `make KEYMAP=<variant>`, which will pull `keymaps/<variant>.c`.
259
260The basis of a keymap is its layers - by default, layer 0 is active. You can activate other layers, the highest of which will be referenced first. Let's start with our base layer.
261
262Using our previous example, let's say we want to create the following layout:
263
264 ┌───┬───┬───┐
265 │ A │ 1 │ H │
266 ├───┴─┬─┴───┤
267 │ TAB │ SPC │
268 └─────┴─────┘
269
270This can be accomplished by using the following `keymaps` definition:
271
272 const uint16_t PROGMEM keymaps[][MATRIX_ROWS][MATRIX_COLS] = {
273 [0] = KEYMAP( /* Base */
274 KC_A, KC_1, KC_H, \
275 KC_TAB, KC_SPC \
276 ),
277 };
278
279Note that the layout of the keycodes is similar to the physical layout of our keyboard - this make it much easier to see what's going on. A lot of the keycodes should be fairly obvious, but for a full list of them, check out [tmk_code/doc/keycode.txt](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/tmk_core/doc/keycode.txt) - there are also a lot of aliases to condense your keymap file.
280
281It's also important to use the `KEYMAP` function we defined earlier - this is what allows the firmware to associate our intended readable keymap with the actual wiring.
282
283#### Compiling your firmware
284
285After you've written out your entire keymap, you're ready to get the firmware compiled and onto your Teensy. Before compiling, you'll need to get your [development environment set-up](/doc/BUILD_GUIDE.md) - you can skip the dfu-programmer instructions, but you'll need to download and install the [Teensy Loader](https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/loader.html) to get the firmware on your Teensy.
286
287Once everything is installed, running `make` in the terminal should get you some output, and eventually a `<project_name>.hex` file in that folder. If you're having trouble with this step, see the end of the guide for the trouble-shooting section.
288
289Once you have your `<project_name>.hex` file, open up the Teensy loader application, and click the file icon. From here, navigate to your `QMK/keyboards/<project_name>/` folder, and select the `<project_name>.hex` file. Plug in your keyboard and press the button on the Teensy - you should see the LED on the device turn off once you do. The Teensy Loader app will change a little, and the buttons should be clickable - click the download button (down arrow), and then the reset button (right arrow), and your keyboard should be ready to go!
290
291#### Testing your firmware
292
293Carefully flip your keyboard over, open up a new text document, and try typing - you should get the characters that you put into your keymap. Test each key, and note the ones that aren't working. Here's a quick trouble-shooting guide for non-working keys:
294
2950. Flip the keyboard back over and short the keyswitch's contacts with a piece wire - this will eliminate the possibility of the keyswitch being bad and needing to be replaced.
2961. Check the solder points on the keyswitch - these need to be plump and whole. If you touch it with a moderate amount of force and it comes apart, it's not strong enough.
2972. Check the solder joints on the diode - if the diode is loose, part of your row may register, while the other may not.
2983. Check the solder joints on the columns - if your column wiring is loose, part or all of the column may not work.
2994. Check the solder joints on both sides of the wires going to/from the Teensy - the wires need to be fully soldered and connect to both sides.
3005. Check the <project_name>.h file for errors and incorrectly placed `KC_NO`s - if you're unsure where they should be, instead duplicate a k*xy* variable.
3016. Check to make sure you actually compiled the firmware and flashed the Teensy correctly. Unless you got error messages in the terminal, or a pop-up during flashing, you probably did everything correctly.
302
303If you've done all of these things, keep in mind that sometimes you might have had multiple things affecting the keyswitch, so it doesn't hurt to test the keyswitch by shorting it out at the end.
304
305#### Securing the Teensy, finishing your hardware, getting fancier firmware
306
307Now that you have a working board, it's time to get things in their permanent positions. I've often used liberal amounts of hot glue to secure and insulate things, so if that's your style, start spreading that stuff like butter. Otherwise, double-sided tape is always an elegant solution, and electrical tape is a distant second. Due to the nature of these builds, a lot of this part is up to you and how you planned (or didn't plan) things out.
308
309There are a lot of possibilities inside the firmware - check out the [readme](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/readme.md) for a full feature list, and dive into the different project (Planck, Ergodox EZ, etc) to see how people use all of them. You can always stop by [the OLKB subreddit for help!](http://reddit.com/r/olkb)

1# Planck Firmware Guide
2
3## Setting up the environment
4
5### Windows
61. Install [MHV AVR Tools](https://infernoembedded.com/sites/default/files/project/MHV_AVR_Tools_20131101.exe). Disable smatch, but **be sure to leave the option to add the tools to the PATH checked**.
72. Install [MinGW](https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Installer/mingw-get-setup.exe/download). During installation, uncheck the option to install a graphical user interface. **DO NOT change the default installation folder.** The scripts depend on the default location.
83. Clone this repository. [This link will download it as a zip file, which you'll need to extract.](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/archive/master.zip) Open the extracted folder in Windows Explorer.
94. Right-click on the 1-setup-path-win batch script, select "Run as administrator", and accept the User Account Control prompt. Press the spacebar to dismiss the success message in the command prompt that pops up.
105. Right-click on the 2-setup-environment-win batch script, select "Run as administrator", and accept the User Account Control prompt. This part may take a couple of minutes, and you'll need to approve a driver installation, but once it finishes, your environment is complete!
11
12
13### Mac
14
15If you're using homebrew, you can use the following commands:
16
17 brew tap osx-cross/avr
18 brew install avr-libc
19 brew install dfu-programmer
20
21Otherwise, these instructions will work:
22
231. Install Xcode from the App Store.
242. Install the Command Line Tools from `Xcode->Preferences->Downloads`.
253. Install [DFU-Programmer][dfu-prog].
26
27### Linux
281. Install AVR GCC with your favorite package manager.
292. Install [DFU-Programmer][dfu-prog].
30
31Note that, since it will be directly accessing USB hardware, the
32`dfu-programmer` program needs to be run as root.
33
34## Verify Your Installation
351. Clone the following repository: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware
362. Open a Terminal and `cd` into `qmk_firmware/keyboards/planck`
373. Run `make`. This should output a lot of information about the build process.
38
39## Using the built-in functions
40
41Here is a list of some of the functions available from the command line:
42
43* `make clean`: clean the environment - may be required in-between builds
44* `make`: compile the code
45* `make KEYMAP=<keymap>`: compile with the extended keymap file `extended_keymaps/extended_keymap_<keymap>.c`
46* `make dfu`: build and flash the layout to the PCB
47* `make dfu-force`: build and force-flash the layout to the PCB (may be require for first flash)
48
49Generally, the instructions to flash the PCB are as follows:
50
511. Make changes to the appropriate keymap file
522. Save the file
533. `make clean`
544. Press the reset button on the PCB/press the key with the `RESET` keycode
555. `make <arguments> dfu` - use the necessary `KEYMAP=<keymap>` and/or `COMMON=true` arguments here.
56
57## Troubleshooting
58If you see something like this
59
60 0 [main] sh 13384 sync_with_child: child 9716(0x178) died before initialization with status code 0xC0000142
61 440 [main] sh 13384 sync_with_child: *** child state waiting for longjmp
62 /usr/bin/sh: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
63
64after running 'make' on Windows than you are encountering a very popular issue with WinAVR on Windows 8.1 and 10.
65You can easily fix this problem by replacing msys-1.0.dll in WinAVR/utils/bin with [this one](http://www.madwizard.org/download/electronics/msys-1.0-vista64.zip).
66Restart your system and everything should work fine!
67
68
69If you see this
70
71 dfu-programmer atmega32u4 erase
72 process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, dfu-programmer atmega32u4 erase, ...) failed.
73 make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
74 make: *** [dfu] Error 2
75
76when trying to 'make dfu' on Windows you need to copy the dfu-programmer.exe to qmk_firmware/keyboards/planck.
77
78
79## Quantum MK Firmware
80
81### Keymap
82
83Unlike the other keymaps, prefixing the keycodes with `KC_` is required. A full list of the keycodes is available [here](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/tmk_core/doc/keycode.txt). For the keycodes available only in the extended keymap, see this [header file](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/quantum/keymap_common.h).
84
85You can use modifiers with keycodes like this:
86
87 LCTL(KC_C)
88
89Which will generate Ctrl+c. These are daisy-chainable, meaning you can do things like:
90
91 LCTL(LALT(KC_C))
92
93That will generate Ctrl+Alt+c. The entire list of these functions is here:
94
95* `LCTL()`: Left control
96* `LSFT()` / `S()`: Left shift
97* `LALT()`: Left alt/opt
98* `LGUI()`: Left win/cmd
99* `RCTL()`: Right control
100* `RSFT()`: Right shift
101* `RALT()`: Right alt/opt
102* `RGUI()`: Right win/cmd
103
104`S(KC_1)`-like entries are useful in writing keymaps for the Planck.
105
106### Other keycodes
107
108A number of other keycodes have been added that you may find useful:
109
110* `CM_<key>`: the Colemak equivalent of a key (in place of `KC_<key>`), when using Colemak in software (`CM_O` generates `KC_SCLN`)
111* `RESET`: jump to bootloader for flashing (same as press the reset button)
112* `BL_STEP`: step through the backlight brightnesses
113* `BL_<0-15>`: set backlight brightness to 0-15
114* `BL_DEC`: lower the backlight brightness
115* `BL_INC`: raise the backlight brightness
116* `BL_TOGG`: toggle the backlight on/off
117
118### Function layers
119
120The extended keymap extends the number of function layers from 32 to the near-infinite value of 256. Rather than using `FN<num>` notation (still available, but limited to `FN0`-`FN31`), you can use the `FUNC(<num>)` notation. `F(<num>)` is a shortcut for this.
121
122The function actions are unchanged, and you can see the full list of them [here](https://github.com/jackhumbert/tmk_keyboard/blob/master/common/action_code.h). They are explained in detail [here](https://github.com/jackhumbert/tmk_keyboard/blob/master/doc/keymap.md#2-action).
123
124### Macros
125
126Macros have been setup in the `keymaps/keymap_default.c` file so that you can use `M(<num>)` to access a macro in the `action_get_macro` section on your keymap. The switch/case structure you see here is required, and is setup for `M(0)` - you'll need to copy and paste the code to look like this (e.g. to support `M(3)`):
127
128 switch(id) {
129 case 0:
130 return MACRODOWN(TYPE(KC_A), END);
131 break;
132 case 1:
133 return MACRODOWN(TYPE(KC_B), END);
134 break;
135 case 2:
136 return MACRODOWN(TYPE(KC_C), END);
137 break;
138 case 3:
139 return MACRODOWN(TYPE(KC_D), END);
140 break;
141 }
142 return MACRO_NONE;
143
144`MACRODOWN()` is a shortcut for `(record->event.pressed ? MACRO(__VA_ARGS__) : MACRO_NONE)` which tells the macro to execute when the key is pressed. Without this, the macro will be executed on both the down and up stroke.

199Mechanical Locking support
200--------------------------
201This feature makes it possible for you to use mechanical locking switch for `CapsLock`, `NumLock`
202or `ScrollLock`. To enable this feature define these macros in `config.h` and use `KC_LCAP`, `KC_LN
203UM` or `KC_LSCR` in keymap for locking key instead of normal `KC_CAPS`, `KC_NLCK` or `KC_SLCK`. Res
204ync option tries to keep switch state consistent with keyboard LED state.

26OS Support Status
27-----------------
28USB NKRO is possible *without* a custom driver.
29At least following OS's supports.
30 Windows7 64bit
31 WindowsXP
32 Windows2000 SP4
33 Ubuntu10.4(Linux 2.6)
34 MacOSX(To be tested)
35
36
37Custom Driver for USB NKRO
38--------------------------
39NOT NEEDED
40at least when using following report formats on Windows, Linux or MacOSX.
41
42
43USB NKRO methods
44----------------
451. Virtual keyboards
46 Keyboard can increase its KRO by using virtual keyboards with Standard or Extended report.
47 If the keyboard has 2 virtual keyboard with Standard report(6KRO), it gets 12KRO.
48 Using this method means the keyboard is a composite device.
49
502. Extended report
51 It needs large report size for this method to achieve NKRO.
52 If a keyboard has 101keys, it needs 103byte report. It seems to be inefficient.
53
543. Bitmap report
55 If the keyboard has less than 128keys, 16byte report will be enough for NKRO.
56 The 16byte report seems to be reasonable cost to get NKRO.
57
58
59Report Format
60-------------
61Other report formats than followings are possible, though these format are typical one.
62
631. Standard 8bytes
64 modifiers(bitmap) 1byte
65 reserved 1byte(not used)
66 keys(array) 1byte*6
67Standard report can send 6keys plus 8modifiers simultaneously.
68Standard report is used by most keyboards in the marketplace.
69Standard report is identical to boot protocol report.
70Standard report is hard to suffer from compatibility problems.
71
722. Extended standard 16,32,64bytes
73 modifiers(bitmap) 1byte
74 reserved 1byte(not used)
75 keys(array) 1byte*(14,32,62)
76Extended report can send N-keys by using N+2bytes.
77Extended report is expected to be compatible with boot protocol.
78
793. Bitmap 16,32,64bytes
80 keys(bitmap) (16,32)bytes
81Bitmap report can send at most 128keys by 16bytes and 256keys by 32bytes.
82Bitmap report can achieve USB NKRO efficiently in terms of report size.
83Bitmap report needs a deliberation for boot protocol implementation.
84Bitmap report descriptor sample:
85 0x05, 0x01, // Usage Page (Generic Desktop),
86 0x09, 0x06, // Usage (Keyboard),
87 0xA1, 0x01, // Collection (Application),

116 0xc0 // End Collection
117where REPORT_BYTES is a report size in bytes.
118
119
120Considerations
121--------------
122Compatibility
123 boot protocol
124 minor/old system
125 Some BIOS doesn't send SET_PROTOCOL request, a keyboard can't switch to boot protocol mode.
126 This may cause a problem on a keyboard which uses other report than Standard.
127Reactivity
128 USB polling time
129 OS/Driver processing time
130
131
132Windows Problem
133---------------
1341. Windows accepts only 6keys in case of Standard report.
135 It should be able to send 6keys plus 8modifiers.
1362. Windows accepts only 10keys in case of 16bytes Extended report.
137 It should be able to send 14keys plus 8modifiers.
1383. Windows accepts only 18keys in case of 32bytes Extended report.
139 It should be able to send 30keys plus 8modifiers.
140If keys are pressed in excess of the number, wrong keys are registered on Windows.
141
142This problem will be reportedly fixed soon.(2010/12/05)

1# Quick Start Directions
2
3This project includes a Vagrantfile that will allow you to build a new firmware for your keyboard very easily without major changes to your primary operating system. This also ensures that when you clone the project and perform a build, you have the exact same environment as anyone else using the Vagrantfile to build. This makes it much easier for people to help you troubleshoot any issues you encounter.
4
5## Requirements
6
7Using the `/Vagrantfile` in this repository requires you have [Vagrant](http://www.vagrantup.com/) as well as [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/) (or [VMware Workstation](https://www.vmware.com/products/workstation) and [Vagrant VMware plugin](http://www.vagrantup.com/vmware) but the (paid) VMware plugin requires a licensed copy of VMware Workstation/Fusion).
8
9*COMPATIBILITY NOTICE* Certain versions of Virtualbox 5 appear to have an incompatibility with the Virtualbox extensions installed in the boxes in this Vagrantfile. If you encounter any issues with the /vagrant mount not succeeding, please upgrade your version of Virtualbox to at least 5.0.12. **Alternately, you can try running the following command:** `vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest`
10
11
12Other than having Vagrant and Virtualbox installed and possibly a restart of your computer afterwards, you can simple run a 'vagrant up' anywhere inside the folder where you checked out this project and it will start a Linux virtual machine that contains all the tools required to build this project. There is a post Vagrant startup hint that will get you off on the right foot, otherwise you can also reference the build documentation below.
13
14Build Firmware and Program Controller
15-------------------------------------
16See [/doc/BUIDE_GUIDE.md](/doc/BUILD_GUIDE.md), or the readme in the particular keyboards/* folder.
17
18Change your keymap
19------------------
20See [/doc/keymap.md](/doc/keymap.md).
21
22## Flashing the firmware
23
24The "easy" way to flash the firmware is using a tool from your host OS like the Teensy programming app. [ErgoDox EZ](/keyboards/ergodox/readme.md) gives a great example.
25
26If you want to program via the command line you can uncomment the ['modifyvm'] lines in the Vagrantfile to enable the USB passthrough into Linux and then program using the command line tools like dfu-util/dfu-programmer or you can install the Teensy CLI version.

1# How keys are registered, and interpreted by computers
2
3In this file, you can will learn the concepts of how keyboards work over USB,
4and you'll be able to better understand what you can expect from changing your
5firmware directly.
6
7## Schematic view
8
9Whenever you type on 1 particular key, here is the chain of actions taking
10place:
11
12``` text
13+------+ +-----+ +----------+ +----------+ +----+
14| User |-------->| Key |------>| Firmware |----->| USB wire |---->| OS |
15+------+ +-----+ +----------+ +----------+ |----+
16```
17
18This scheme is a very simple view of what's going on, and more details follow
19in the next sections.
20
21## 1. You Press a Key
22
23Whenever you press a key, the firmware of your keyboard can register this event.
24It can register when the key is pressed, held and released.
25
26This usually happens with a [periodic scan of key presses with a frequency around 100 hz](https://github.com/benblazak/ergodox-firmware/blob/master/references.md#typical-keyboard-information).
27This speed often is limited by the mechanical key response time, the protocol
28to transfer those key presses (here USB HID), and by the software it is used in.
29
30## 2. What the Firmware Sends
31
32The [HID specification](http://www.usb.org/developers/hidpage/Hut1_12v2.pdf)
33tells what a keyboard can actually send through USB to have a chance to be
34properly recognised. This includes a pre-defined list of keycodes which are
35simple numbers from `0x00` to `0xE7`. The firmware assigns a keycode to each
36key of the keyboard.
37
38The firmware does not send actually letters or characters, but only keycodes.
39Thus, by modifying the firmware, you only can modify what keycode is sent over
40USB for a given key.
41
42## 3. What the Operating System Does
43
44Once the keycode reaches the operating system, a piece of software has to have
45it match an actual character thanks to a keyboard layout. For example, if your
46layout is set to QWERTY, a sample of the matching table is as follow:
47
48``` text
49| keycode | character |
50|---------+-----------|
51| 0x04 | a/A |
52| 0x05 | b/B |
53| 0x06 | c/C |
54| ... | ... |
55| 0x1C | y/Y |
56| 0x1D | z/Z |
57| ... | ... |
58|---------+-----------|
59```
60
61## Back to the firmware
62
63As the layout is generally fixed (unless you create your own), the firmware can
64actually call a keycode by its layout name directly to ease things for you.
65
66This is exactly what is done here with `KC_A` actually representing `0x04` in
67QWERTY. The full list can be found in `keycode.txt`.
68
69## List of Characters You Can Send
70
71Putting aside shortcuts, having a limited set of keycodes mapped to a limited
72layout means that **the list of characters you can assign to a given key only
73is the ones present in the layout**.
74
75For example, this means that if you have a QWERTY US layout, and you want to
76assign 1 key to produce `€` (euro currency symbol), you are unable to do so,
77because the QWERTY US layout does not have such mapping. You could fix that by
78using a QWERTY UK layout, or a QWERTY US International.
79
80You may wonder why a keyboard layout containing all of Unicode is not devised
81then? The limited number of keycode available through USB simply disallow such
82a thing.
83
84## How to (Maybe) Enter Unicode Characters
85
86You can have the firmware send *sequences of keys* to use the [software Unicode
87Input
88Method](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_input#Hexadecimal_code_input) of
89the target operating system, thus effectively entering characters independently
90of the layout defined in the OS.
91
92Yet, it does come with multiple disadvantages:
93
94 - Tied to a specific OS a a time (need recompilation when changing OS);
95 - Within a given OS, does not work in all software;
96 - Limited to a subset of Unicode on some systems.

1Build Firmware and Program Controller
2=====================================
3
4## This guide may be out-dated - use doc/BUILD_GUIDE.md instead
5
6Download and Install
7--------------------
8### 1. Install Tools
9
101. **Toolchain** On Windows install [MHV AVR Tools][mhv] for AVR GCC compiler and [Cygwin][cygwin](or [MinGW][mingw]) for shell terminal. On Mac you can use [CrossPack][crosspack]. On Linux you can install AVR GCC (and avr-libc) with your favorite package manager or run the avr_setup.sh script in the root of this repository.
11
122. **Programmer** On Windows install [Atmel FLIP][flip]. On Mac and Linux install [dfu-programmer][dfu-prog].
13
143. **Driver** On Windows you start DFU bootloader on the chip first time you will see 'Found New Hardware Wizard' to install driver. If you install device driver properly you can find chip name like 'ATmega32U4' under 'LibUSB-Win32 Devices' tree on 'Device Manager'. If not you shall need to update its driver on 'Device Manager'. You will find the driver in `FLIP` install directory like: C:\Program Files (x86)\Atmel\Flip 3.4.5\usb\. In case of `dfu-programmer` use its driver.
15
16If you use PJRC Teensy you don't need step 2 and 3 above, just get [Teensy loader][teensy-loader].
17
18
19### 2. Download source
20You can find firmware source at github:
21
22- <https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard>
23
24If you are familiar with `Git` tools you are recommended to use it but you can also download zip archive from:
25
26- <https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/archive/master.zip>
27
28
29Build firmware
30--------------
31### 1. Open terminal
32Open terminal window to get access to commands. Use Cygwin(or MingGW) `shell terminal` in Windows or `Terminal.app` on Mac OSX. In Windows press `Windows` key and `R` then enter `cmd` in 'Run command' dialog showing up.
33
34### 2. Change directory
35Move to project directory in the firmware source.
36
37 cd tmk_keyboard/{'keyboard' or 'converter'}/<project>
38
39### 3. Make
40Build firmware using GNU `make` command. You'll see `<project>_<variant>.hex` file in that directory unless something unexpected occurs in build process.
41
42
43 make -f Makefile.<variant> clean
44 make -f Makefile.<variant>
45
46
47
48
49Program Controller
50------------------
51Now you have **hex** file to program on current directory. This **hex** is only needed to program your controller, other files are used for development and you may leave and forget them.
52
53### 1. Start bootloader
54How to program controller depends on controller chip and its board design. To program AVR USB chips you'll need to start it up in bootloader mode. Most of boards with the chip have a push button to let bootloader come up. Consult with your controller board manual.
55
56### 2. Program with DFU bootloader
57Stock AVR USB chip including ATmega32U4 has DFU bootloader by factory default. `FLIP` is a DFU programmer on Windows offered by Atmel. Open source command line tool `dfu-programmer` also supports AVR chips, it runs on Linux, Mac OSX and even Windows.
58
59To program AVR chip with DFU bootloader use `FLIP` or `dfu-programmer`.
60If you have a proper program command in `Makefile` just type this.
61
62`FLIP` has two version of tool, GUI app and command line program. If you want GUI see tutorial below.
63To use command line tool run this command. Note that you need to set PATH variable properly.
64
65 $ make -f Makefile.<variant> flip
66
67Or to program with `dfu-programmer` run:
68
69 $ make -f Makefile.<variant> dfu
70
71#### FLIP GUI tutorial
721. On menu bar click Device -> Select, then. `ATmega32u4`.
732. On menu bar click Settings -> Communication -> USB, then click 'Open' button on 'USB Port Connection' dialog.
74At this point you'll see grey-outed widgets on the app get colored and ready.
75
763. On menu bar click File -> Load HEX File, then select your firmware hex file on File Selector dialog.
774. On 'Operations Flow' panel click 'Run' button to load the firmware binary to the chip. Note that you should keep 'Erase', 'Blank Check', 'Program' and 'Verify' check boxes selected.
785. Re-plug USB cord or click 'Start Application' button to restart your controller.
79Done.

85
86
87### 3. Program with Teensy Loader
88If you have PJRC Teensy see instruction of `Teensy Loader`.
89
90- <http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/loader.html>
91
92Or use this command if you have command line version of Teensy Loader installed.
93
94 $ make -f Makefile.<variant> teensy
95
96
97### 4. Program with Other programmer
98You may want to use other programmer like `avrdude` with AVRISPmkII, Arduino or USBasp. In that case you can still use make target `program` for build with configuring `PROGRAM_CMD` in Makefile.
99
100 $ make -f Makefile.<variant> program

1Keymap framework - how to define your keymap
2============================================
3***NOTE: This is updated for QMK but this is still work in progress. This may still be inconsistent with the source code.***
4
5QMK is based on TMK. Understanding the essential changes made should help you understand variable names etc.
6
7## TMK vs. QMK
8
9| Firmware |TMK |QMK |
10|---------------------------|-----------------------|-------------------------|
11| Maintainer |hasu |Jack Humbert et al. |
12| Build path customization | `TMK_DIR = ...` | `include .../Makefile` |
13| `keymaps` data | 3D array of `uint8_t` holding **keycode** | 3D array of `uint16_t` holding **action code** |
14| `fn_actions` data | 1D array of `uint16_t` holding **action code** | 1D array of `uint16_t` holding **action code** |
15
16Since QMK is based on TMK and uses major portion of TMK code as is, understanding the essential changes made should help you understand the code.
17
18## 0. Keymap and layers
19In QMK, **`const uint16_t PROGMEM keymaps[][MATRIX_ROWS][MATRIX_COLS]`** holds multiple **layers** of keymap information in **16 bit** data holding the **action code**. You can define **32 layers** at most.
20
21For trivial key definitions, the higher 8 bits of the **action code** are all 0 and the lower 8 bits holds the USB HID usage code generated by the key as **keycode**.
22
23Respective layers can be validated simultaneously. Layers are indexed with 0 to 31 and higher layer has precedence.
24
25 Keymap: 32 Layers Layer: action code matrix
26 ----------------- ---------------------

36 1 /___________// | 1 `--------------------------
37 0 /___________/ V low 0 `--------------------------
38
39
40Sometimes, the action code stored in keymap may be referred as keycode in some documents due to the TMK history.
41
42### 0.1 Keymap layer status
43Keymap layer has its state in two 32 bit parameters:
44
45* **`default_layer_state`** indicates a base keymap layer(0-31) which is always valid and to be referred.
46* **`layer_state`** () has current on/off status of the layer on its each bit.
47
48Keymap has its state in two parameter **`default_layer`** indicates a base keymap layer(0-31) which is always valid and to be referred, **`keymap_stat`** is 16bit variable which has current on/off status of layers on its each bit.
49Keymap layer '0' is usually `default_layer` and which is the only valid layer and other layers is initially off after boot up firmware, though, you can configured them in `config.h`.
50To change `default_layer` will be useful when you switch key layout completely, say you want Colmak instead of Qwerty.

65 layer_state = 0x00000001 layer_state = 0x00000002
66
67On the other hand, you shall change `layer_state` to overlay base layer with some layers for feature such as navigation keys, function key(F1-F12), media keys or special actions.

85
86### 0.2 Layer Precedence and Transparency
87Note that ***higher layer has higher priority on stack of layers***, namely firmware falls down from top layer to bottom to look up keycode. Once it spots keycode other than **`KC_TRNS`**(transparent) on a layer it stops searching and lower layers aren't referred.
88
89You can place `KC_TRANS` on overlay layer changes just part of layout to fall back on lower or base layer.
90Key with `KC_TRANS` (`KC_TRNS` and `_______` are the alias) doesn't has its own keycode and refers to lower valid layers for keycode, instead.
91See example below.
92
93
94### 0.3 Keymap Example
95Keymap in this QMK is **`static const uint16_t PROGMEM keymaps[]`** C array in fact and you can define layers in it with **`KEYMAP()`** C macro and keycodes. To use complex actions you need to define `Fn` keycode in **`fn_actions[]`** array. It holds the 16 bit quantum keycode (action code).
96
97> Please note that keymap in the TMK, which QMK was forked from, is **`static const uint8_t PROGMEM keymaps[]`** C array which holds the 8 bit keycode (~USB HID usage code).
98
99This is a keymap example for [HHKB](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Hacking_Keyboard) keyboard.
100This example has three layers, 'QWERTY' as base layer, 'FN' and 'MOUSE'.
101
102In this example,
103
104 `MO(layer)` is a **momentary layer switching** key.
105
106You can find other keymap definitions in file `keymap.c` located on project directories.

203## 1. Keycode
204See [`tmk_core/common/keycode.h`](../tmk_core/common/keycode.h) or keycode table below for the detail. Keycode is internal **8bit code** to indicate action performed on key in keymap. Keycodes are based on [HID Usage Keyboard/Keypad Page(0x07)](http://www.usb.org/developers/hidpage/Hut1_12v2.pdf) plus special codes in the `0xA5-DF` range.
205
206Keycode has `KC_` prefixed symbol respectively. Most of keycodes like `KC_A` have simple action registers key to host on press and unregister on release, while some of other keycodes has some special actions like `Fn` keys, Media control keys, System control keys and Mousekeys.
207
208keymaps[]
209
210In `KEYMAP()` macro, TMK recommends you to keep prefix part `KC_` of keycode to keep keymap compact. For example, just use `A` instead you place `KC_A` in `KEYMAP()`. But this doesn't apply for QMK.
211
212The `KEYMAP()` macro defines correspondence between the physical key location to the electrical key connection.
213
214Some keycodes has 7-letter **short name** such as `KC_COMM` in addition to descriptive name `KC_COMMA`, you'll prefer short one in `KEYMAP()`.
215
216### 1.0 Other key
217- `KC_NO` for no action
218- `KC_TRNS` for layer transparency (See above)
219
220### 1.1 Normal key
221- `KC_A` to `KC_Z`, `KC_1` to `KC_0` for alpha numeric key
222- `KC_MINS`, `KC_EQL`, `KC_GRV`, `KC_RBRC`, `KC_LBRC`, `KC_COMM`, `KC_DOT`, `KC_BSLS`, `KC_SLSH`, `KC_SCLN`, `KC_QUOT`
223- `KC_ESC`, `KC_TAB`, `KC_SPC`, `KC_BSPC`, `KC_ENT`, `KC_DEL`, `KC_INS`
224- `KC_UP`, `KC_DOWN`, `KC_RGHT`, `KC_LEFT`, `KC_PGUP`, `KC_PGDN`, `KC_HOME`, `KC_END`
225- `KC_CAPS`, `KC_NLCK`, `KC_SLCK`, `KC_PSCR`, `KC_PAUS`, `KC_APP`, `KC_F1` to `KC_F24`
226- `KC_P1` to `KC_P0`, `KC_PDOT`, `KC_PCMM`, `KC_PSLS`, `KC_PAST`, `KC_PMNS`, `KC_PPLS`, `KC_PEQL`, `KC_PENT` for keypad.
227
228### 1.2 Modifier
229There are 8 modifiers which has discrimination between left and right.
230
231- `KC_LCTL` and `KC_RCTL` for Control
232- `KC_LSFT` and `KC_RSFT` for Shift
233- `KC_LALT` and `KC_RALT` for Alt
234- `KC_LGUI` and `KC_RGUI` for Windows key or Command key in Mac
235
236### 1.3 Mousekey
237- `KC_MS_U`, `KC_MS_D`, `KC_MS_L`, `KC_MS_R` for mouse cursor
238- `KC_WH_U`, `KC_WH_D`, `KC_WH_L`, `KC_WH_R` for mouse wheel
239- `KC_BTN1`, `KC_BTN2`, `KC_BTN3`, `KC_BTN4`, `KC_BTN5` for mouse buttons
240
241### 1.4 System & Media key
242- `KC_PWR`, `KC_SLEP`, `KC_WAKE` for Power, Sleep, Wake
243- `KC_MUTE`, `KC_VOLU`, `KC_VOLD` for audio volume control
244- `KC_MNXT`, `KC_MPRV`, `KC_MSTP`, `KC_MPLY`, `KC_MSEL` for media control
245- `KC_MAIL`, `KC_CALC`, `KC_MYCM` for application launch
246- `KC_WSCH`, `KC_WHOM`, `KC_WBAK`, `KC_WFWD`, `KC_WSTP`, `KC_WREF`, `KC_WFAV` for web browser operation
247
248### 1.5 Fn key
249You don't need to use this functionality under QMK since this is a backward compatibility functionality. Unlike TMK, you can write action code itself directly in **`static const uint16_t PROGMEM keymaps[]`** C array using `MO(layer)`, etc.
250
251`KC_FNnn` are keycodes for `Fn` key which not given any actions at the beginning unlike most of keycodes has its own inborn action. To use these keycodes in `KEYMAP()` you need to assign action you want at first. Action of `Fn` key is defined in `fn_actions[]` and its index of the array is identical with number part of `KC_FNnn`. Thus `KC_FN0` keycode indicates the action defined in first element of the array. ***Only 32 `Fn` keys can be defined at most.***
252
253
254### 1.6 Keycode Table
255 See keycode table in [`doc/keycode.txt`](./keycode.txt) for description of keycodes.
256
257 In regard to implementation side most of keycodes are identical with [HID usage][HID_usage](pdf) sent to host for real and some virtual keycodes are defined to support special actions.
258[HID_usage]: http://www.usb.org/developers/hidpage/Hut1_12v2.pdf
259
260
261
262## 2. Action
263See [`common/action_code.h`](../common/action_code.h). Action is a **16bit code** and defines function to perform on events of a key like press, release, holding and tapping.
264
265Most of keys just register 8bit scancode to host, but to support other complex features needs 16bit extended action codes internally. However, using 16bit action codes in keymap results in double size in memory compared to using just keycodes. To avoid this waste 8bit keycodes are used in `KEYMAP()` instead of action codes.
266
267***You can just use keycodes of `Normal key`, `Modifier`, `Mousekey` and `System & Media key` in keymap*** to indicate corresponding actions instead of using action codes. While ***to use other special actions you should use keycode of `Fn` key defined in `fn_actions[]`.***
268
269
270### 2.1 Key Action
271This is a simple action that registers scancodes(HID usage in fact) to host on press event of key and unregister on release.
272
273#### Parameters
274+ **mods**: { ` MOD_LCTL`, ` MOD_LSFT`, ` MOD_LALT`, ` MOD_LGUI`,
275 ` MOD_RCTL`, ` MOD_RSFT`, ` MOD_RALT`, ` MOD_RGUI` }
276+ **key**: keycode
277
278
279#### 2.1.1 Normal key and Modifier
280***This action usually won't be used expressly in keymap*** because you can just use keycodes in `KEYMAP()` instead.
281
282You can define these actions on *'A'* key and *'left shift'* modifier with:
283
284 ACTION_KEY(KC_A)
285 ACTION_KEY(KC_LSFT)
286
287#### 2.1.2 Modified key
288This action is comprised of strokes of modifiers and a key. `Macro` action is needed if you want more complex key strokes.
289
290Say you want to assign a key to `Shift + 1` to get character *'!'* or `Alt + Tab` to switch application windows.
291
292 ACTION_MODS_KEY(MOD_LSFT, KC_1)
293 ACTION_MODS_KEY(MOD_LALT, KC_TAB)
294
295Or `Alt,Shift + Tab` can be defined. `ACTION_MODS_KEY(mods, key)` requires **4-bit modifier state** and a **keycode** as arguments. See `keycode.h` for `MOD_BIT()` macro.
296
297 ACTION_MODS_KEY(MOD_LALT | MOD_LSFT, KC_TAB)
298
299#### 2.1.3 Multiple Modifiers
300Registers multiple modifiers with pressing a key. To specify multiple modifiers use `|`.
301
302 ACTION_MODS(MOD_ALT | MOD_LSFT)
303
304#### 2.1.3 Modifier with Tap key([Dual role][dual_role])
305Works as a modifier key while holding, but registers a key on tap(press and release quickly).
306
307
308 ACTION_MODS_TAP_KEY(MOD_RCTL, KC_ENT)
309
310
311
312### 2.2 Layer Action
313These actions operate layers of keymap.
314
315#### Parameters
316You can specify a **target layer** of action and **when the action is executed**. Some actions take a **bit value** for bitwise operation.
317
318
319+ **layer**: `0`-`31`
320+ **on**: { `ON_PRESS` | `ON_RELEASE` | `ON_BOTH` }
321+ **bits**: 4-bit value and 1-bit mask bit
322
323
324#### 2.2.1 Default Layer

429- **D()** press key
430- **U()** release key
431- **T()** type key(press and release)
432- **W()** wait
433- **END** end mark
434
435#### 2.3.2 Examples
436
437***TODO: sample implementation***
438See `keyboards/hhkb/keymap.c` for sample.
439
440
441
442### 2.4 Function action
443***TBD***
444
445There are two type of action, normal `Function` and tappable `Function`.
446These actions call user defined function with `id`, `opt`, and key event information as arguments.
447
448#### 2.4.1 Function
449To define normal `Function` action in keymap use this.
450
451 ACTION_FUNCTION(id, opt)
452
453#### 2.4.2 Function with tap
454To define tappable `Function` action in keymap use this.
455
456 ACTION_FUNCTION_TAP(id, opt)
457
458#### 2.4.3 Implement user function
459`Function` actions can be defined freely with C by user in callback function:
460
461 void keymap_call_function(keyrecord_t *event, uint8_t id, uint8_t opt)
462
463This C function is called every time key is operated, argument `id` selects action to be performed and `opt` can be used for option. Function `id` can be 0-255 and `opt` can be 0-15.
464
465 `keyrecord_t` is comprised of key event and tap count. `keyevent_t` indicates which and when key is pressed or released. From `tap_count` you can know tap state, 0 means no tap. These information will be used in user function to decide how action of key is performed.
466
467 typedef struct {
468 keyevent_t event;
469 uint8_t tap_count;
470 } keyrecord_t;
471
472 typedef struct {
473 key_t key;
474 bool pressed;
475 uint16_t time;
476 } keyevent_t;
477
478 typedef struct {
479 uint8_t col;
480 uint8_t row;
481 } key_t;
482
483***TODO: sample implementation***
484See `keyboards/hhkb/keymap.c` for sample.
485
486
487
488### 2.5 Backlight Action
489These actions control the backlight.
490
491#### 2.5.1 Change backlight level
492Increase backlight level.
493
494 ACTION_BACKLIGHT_INCREASE()
495
496Decrease backlight level.
497
498 ACTION_BACKLIGHT_DECREASE()
499
500Step through backlight levels.
501
502 ACTION_BACKLIGHT_STEP()
503
504Turn a specific backlight level on or off.
505
506 ACTION_BACKLIGHT_LEVEL(1)
507
508#### 2.5.2 Turn on / off backlight
509Turn the backlight on and off without changing level.
510
511 ACTION_BACKLIGHT_TOGGLE()
512
513
514
515### 2.6 Swap-Hands Action
516The swap-hands action allows support for one-handed keyboards without requiring a separate layer. Set `ONEHAND_ENABLE` in the Makefile and define a `hand_swap_config` entry in your keymap. Now whenever the `ACTION_SWAP_HANDS` command key is pressed the keyboard is mirrored. For instance, to type "Hello, World" on QWERTY you would type `^Ge^s^s^w^c W^wr^sd`
517
518### 2.6.1 Configuration
519The configuration table is a simple 2-dimensional array to map from column/row to new column/row. Example `hand_swap_config` for Planck:
520
521```
522const keypos_t hand_swap_config[MATRIX_ROWS][MATRIX_COLS] = {
523 {{11, 0}, {10, 0}, {9, 0}, {8, 0}, {7, 0}, {6, 0}, {5, 0}, {4, 0}, {3, 0}, {2, 0}, {1, 0}, {0, 0}},
524 {{11, 1}, {10, 1}, {9, 1}, {8, 1}, {7, 1}, {6, 1}, {5, 1}, {4, 1}, {3, 1}, {2, 1}, {1, 1}, {0, 1}},
525 {{11, 2}, {10, 2}, {9, 2}, {8, 2}, {7, 2}, {6, 2}, {5, 2}, {4, 2}, {3, 2}, {2, 2}, {1, 2}, {0, 2}},
526 {{11, 3}, {10, 3}, {9, 3}, {8, 3}, {7, 3}, {6, 3}, {5, 3}, {4, 3}, {3, 3}, {2, 3}, {1, 3}, {0, 3}},
527};
528```
529
530Note that the array indices are reversed same as the matrix and the values are of type `keypos_t` which is `{col, row}` and all values are zero-based. In the example above, `hand_swap_config[2][4]` (third row, fifth column) would return {7, 2} (third row, eighth column).
531
532### 2.6.2 Advanced Swap Commands
533- **`ACTION_SWAP_HANDS()`** Swaps hands when pressed, returns to normal when released (momentary).
534- **`ACTION_SWAP_HANDS_TOGGLE()`** Toggles swap on and off with every keypress.
535- **`ACTION_SWAP_HANDS_TAP_TOGGLE()`** Toggles with a tap; momentary when held.
536- **`ACTION_SWAP_HANDS_TAP_KEY(key)`** Sends `key` with a tap; momentary swap when held.
537- **`ACTION_SWAP_HANDS_ON_OFF()`** Alias for `ACTION_SWAP_HANDS()`
538- **`ACTION_SWAP_HANDS_OFF_ON()`** Momentarily turns off swap.
539- **`ACTION_SWAP_HANDS_ON()`** Turns on swapping and leaves it on.
540- **`ACTION_SWAP_HANDS_OFF()`** Turn off swapping and leaves it off. Good for returning to a known state.
541
542
543
544## 3. Layer switching Example
545There are some ways to switch layer with 'Layer' actions.
546
547### 3.1 Momentary switching
548Momentary switching changes layer only while holding Fn key.
549
550This action makes 'Layer 1' active(valid) on key press event and inactive on release event. Namely you can overlay a layer on lower layers or default layer temporarily with this action.
551
552 ACTION_LAYER_MOMENTARY(1)
553
554
555Note that after switching on press the actions on destination layer(Layer 1) are performed.
556***Thus you shall need to place an action to go back on destination layer***, or you will be stuck in destination layer without way to get back. Usually you need to place same action or 'KC_TRNS` on destination layer to get back.
557
558
559### 3.2 Toggle switching
560Toggle switching performed after releasing a key. With this action you can keep staying on the destination layer until you type the key again to return.
561
562This performs toggle switching action of 'Layer 2'.
563
564 ACTION_LAYER_TOGGLE(2)
565
566

568### 3.3 Momentary switching with Tap key
569These actions switch a layer only while holding a key but register the key on tap. **Tap** means to press and release a key quickly.
570
571 ACTION_LAYER_TAP_KEY(2, KC_SCLN)
572
573With this you can place a layer switching action on normal key like ';' without losing its original key register function. This action allows you to have layer switching action without necessity of a dedicated key. It means you can have it even on home row of keyboard.
574
575
576
577### 3.4 Momentary switching with Tap Toggle
578This switches layer only while holding a key but toggle layer with several taps. **Tap** means to press and release key quickly.
579
580 ACTION_LAYER_TAP_TOGGLE(1)
581
582Number of taps can be configured with `TAPPING_TOGGLE` in `config.h`, `5` by default.
583
584
585
586### 3.5 Momentary switching with Modifiers
587This registers modifier key(s) simultaneously with layer switching.
588
589 ACTION_LAYER_MODS(2, MOD_LSFT | MOD_LALT)
590
591
592
593## 4. Tapping
594Tapping is to press and release a key quickly. Tapping speed is determined with setting of `TAPPING_TERM`, which can be defined in `config.h`, 200ms by default.
595
596### 4.1 Tap Key
597This is a feature to assign normal key action and modifier including layer switching to just same one physical key. This is a kind of [Dual role key][dual_role]. It works as modifier when holding the key but registers normal key when tapping.
598
599Modifier with tap key:
600
601 ACTION_MODS_TAP_KEY(MOD_RSFT, KC_GRV)
602
603Layer switching with tap key:
604
605 ACTION_LAYER_TAP_KEY(2, KC_SCLN)
606
607[dual_role]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modifier_key#Dual-role_keys
608
609When user hold a key after tap, it repeat the tapped key rather to hold a modifier key.
610If you prefer to hold a modifier instead, define `TAPPING_FORCE_HOLD` in `config.h`.
611See https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/issues/889 for the detail.
612
613### 4.2 Tap Toggle
614This is a feature to assign both toggle layer and momentary switch layer action to just same one physical key. It works as momentary layer switch when holding a key but toggle switch with several taps.
615
616 ACTION_LAYER_TAP_TOGGLE(1)
617
618
619### 4.3 Oneshot Modifier
620This runs onetime effects which modify only on just one following key. It works as normal modifier key when holding down while oneshot modifier when tapping. The behavior of oneshot modifiers is similar to the [sticky keys](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StickyKeys) functionality found in most operating systems.
621
622 ACTION_MODS_ONESHOT(MOD_LSFT)
623
624Oneshot layer key:
625
626 ACTION_LAYER_ONESHOT(MY_LAYER)
627
628Say you want to type 'The', you have to push and hold Shift key before type 't' then release it before type 'h' and 'e', otherwise you'll get 'THe' or 'the' unintentionally. With Oneshot Modifier you can tap Shift then type 't', 'h' and 'e' normally, you don't need to holding Shift key properly here. This mean you can release Shift before 't' is pressed down.
629
630Oneshot effect is cancel unless following key is pressed down within `ONESHOT_TIMEOUT` of `config.h`. No timeout when it is `0` or not defined.
631
632Most implementations of sticky keys allow you to lock a modifier by double tapping the modifier. The layer then remains locked untill the modifier is tapped again. To enable this behaviour for oneshot modifiers set `ONESHOT_TAP_TOGGLE` to the number taps required. The feature is disabled if `ONESHOT_TAP_TOGGLE<2` or not defined.
633
634
635### 4.4 Tap Toggle Mods
636Similar to layer tap toggle, this works as a momentary modifier when holding, but toggles on with several taps. A single tap will 'unstick' the modifier again.
637
638 ACTION_MODS_TAP_TOGGLE(MOD_LSFT)
639
640
641
642
643## 5. Legacy Keymap
644In QMK, `tmk_core/common/keymap.c` is missing and its replacement `quantum/keymap_common.c` lacks Legacy Keymap support.
645
646Legacy Keymap uses two arrays `fn_layer[]` and `fn_keycode[]` to define Fn key. The index of arrays corresponds with postfix number of `Fn` key. Array `fn_layer[]` indicates destination layer to switch and `fn_keycode[]` has keycodes to send when tapping `Fn` key.
647
648In the following legacy keymap setting example, `Fn0`, `Fn1` and `Fn2` switch layer to 1, 2 and 2 respectively. `Fn2` registers `Space` key when tapping while `Fn0` and `Fn1` doesn't send any key.
649
650 static const uint8_t PROGMEM fn_layer[] = {
651 1, // Fn0
652 2, // Fn1
653 2, // Fn2
654 };
655
656 static const uint8_t PROGMEM fn_keycode[] = {
657 KC_NO, // Fn0
658 KC_NO, // Fn1
659 KC_SPC, // Fn2
660 };
661
662Under QMK, these can be realized using action code ACTION_LAYER_TAP_KEY(1, KC_NO), ACTION_LAYER_TAP_KEY(2, KC_NO), and ACTION_LAYER_TAP_KEY(2, KC_SPC) in the `keymaps` directly.
663
664## 6. Terminology
665***TBD***
666### keymap
667is comprised of multiple layers.
668### layer
669is matrix of keycodes.
670### key
671is physical button on keyboard or logical switch on software.
672### keycode
673is codes used on firmware.
674### action
675is a function assigned on a key.
676### layer transparency
677Using transparent keycode one layer can refer key definition on other lower layer.
678### layer precedence
679Top layer has higher precedence than lower layers.
680### tapping
681is to press and release a key quickly.
682### Fn key
683is key which executes a special action like layer switching, mouse key, macro or etc.
684### dual role key
