Planck

A compact 40% (12x4) ortholinear keyboard kit designed by OLKB and sold by Drop. A complete hardware rework of the rev6 Planck PCB, with support for up to 8 rotary encoders. More info on qmk.fm

• Keyboard Maintainer: Jack Humbert
• Hardware Supported: Planck PCB rev7
• Hardware Availability: Drop

Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):

make planck/rev7:default

Encoders

Encoders must have matching pulse & detent resolutions (e.g. 24/24) for the scanning to work properly. Multiple encoders can be used at the same time, and are zero-indexed (compared to being one-indexed on the PCB's silkscreen) in the encoder_update_user(uint8_t index, bool clockwise) function:

`-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------'

If an encoder has a switch built-in, it's connected to the key at that location. On the default keymap, each encoder will play its own rising/falling tone sequence when rotated, and will reset the pitch after one second of inactivity. The encoder map feature is not currently supported.

Some Planck-specific config.h options:

// sets the length (in seconds) of the watchdog timer, which will reset the keyboard due to hang/crash in the code
#define PLANCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT 1.0
// disables the watchdog timer - you may want to disable the watchdog timer if you use longer macros
#define PLANCK_WATCHDOG_DISABLE
// the resolution of the encoders used in the encoder matrix
#define PLANCK_ENCODER_RESOLUTION 4
