QMK provides a mechanism to supplement or replace the default matrix scanning routine with your own code.
The reasons to use this feature include:
COL2ROW
and ROW2COL
Implementing custom matrix usually involves compilation of an additional source file. It is recommended that for consistency, this file is called matrix.c
.
Add a new file to your keyboard directory:
keyboards/<keyboard>/matrix.c
And to configure compilation for the new file, add this to your rules.mk
:
SRC += matrix.c
Provides a default implementation for various scanning functions, reducing the boilerplate code when implementing custom matrix. To configure it, add this to your rules.mk
:
CUSTOM_MATRIX = lite
And implement the following functions in a matrix.c
file in your keyboard folder:
void matrix_init_custom(void) {\n // TODO: initialize hardware here\n}\n\nbool matrix_scan_custom(matrix_row_t current_matrix[]) {\n bool matrix_has_changed = false;\n\n // TODO: add matrix scanning routine here\n\n return matrix_has_changed;\n}
When more control over the scanning routine is required, you can choose to implement the full scanning routine. To configure it, add this to your rules.mk:
CUSTOM_MATRIX = yes
And implement the following functions in a matrix.c
file in your keyboard folder:
matrix_row_t matrix_get_row(uint8_t row) {\n // TODO: return the requested row data\n}\n\nvoid matrix_print(void) {\n // TODO: use print() to dump the current matrix state to console\n}\n\nvoid matrix_init(void) {\n // TODO: initialize hardware and global matrix state here\n\n // Unless hardware debouncing - Init the configured debounce routine\n debounce_init(MATRIX_ROWS);\n\n // This *must* be called for correct keyboard behavior\n matrix_init_kb();\n}\n\nuint8_t matrix_scan(void) {\n bool changed = false;\n\n // TODO: add matrix scanning routine here\n\n // Unless hardware debouncing - use the configured debounce routine\n changed = debounce(raw_matrix, matrix, MATRIX_ROWS, changed);\n\n // This *must* be called for correct keyboard behavior\n matrix_scan_kb();\n\n return changed;\n}
And also provide defaults for the following callbacks:
__attribute__((weak)) void matrix_init_kb(void) { matrix_init_user(); }\n\n__attribute__((weak)) void matrix_scan_kb(void) { matrix_scan_user(); }\n\n__attribute__((weak)) void matrix_init_user(void) {}\n\n__attribute__((weak)) void matrix_scan_user(void) {}
