Clueboard keyboard firmware
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
DIY/Assembled compact 66% keyboard by [Clueboard](http://clueboard.co).
|
|
|
|
For the full Quantum Mechanical Keyboard feature list, see [the parent readme.md](/readme.md).
|
|
|
|
## First Time Setup
|
|
|
|
Download or clone the whole firmware and navigate to the keyboards/clueboard directory. Once your dev env is setup, you'll be able to generate the default .hex:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You will see a lot of output and if everything worked correctly you will see something similar to this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Size after:
|
|
text data bss dec hex filename
|
|
0 19992 0 19992 4e18 clueboard_rev2_default.hex
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
At this point you can press RESET on your Clueboard and flash your keyboard with this command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ make dfu
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you would like to use one of the alternative keymaps, or create your own, see below.
|
|
|
|
## Clueboard 1.0
|
|
|
|
If you have a first generation Clueboard (one with a black PCB) you will need to use the revision 1 code. To do so add `rev1` to your make command, like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ make rev1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And when flashing your keyboard:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ make rev1-dfu
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you are flashing an alternative layout to your rev1, include both `rev1` and `<keymap>` in your command, for example when flashing max:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ make rev1-max-dfu
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Alternate Keymaps
|
|
|
|
There are many alternative and user-contributed layouts available in the [keymaps/](keymaps/) directory. To compile and flash an alternative you will want to add `<keymap>` to your command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ make skully
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And when flashing your keyboard, put `<keymap>` between "make" and "dfu":
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ make skully-dfu
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Notable Layouts
|
|
|
|
These layouts are notable for one reason or another. If you are looking for ideas or inspiration you should look at these first:
|
|
|
|
* [keymaps/default](keymaps/default) - The default Clueboard layout
|
|
* [keymaps/max](keymaps/max) - A maximised layout that makes use of every key and feature of the Clueboard 2.0 PCB.
|
|
* [keymaps/skully](keymaps/skully) - The layout that @skullydazed uses on his own Clueboards.
|
|
|
|
## Create Your Own Keymap
|
|
|
|
There are a lot of possibilities when creating your own keymap, and the primary documentation for doing that is [Customizing Your Keymap](/readme.md##customizing-your-keymap) in the main readme.md. As a way to get started, here is the procedure I recommend:
|
|
|
|
* Copy `[keymaps/default](keymaps/default/)` to `keymaps/<your_layout>`.
|
|
* Compile the firmware (`$ make <your_layout>`)
|
|
* Flash the firmware (`$ make <your_layout>-dfu`)
|
|
* Make sure everything works like the default keyboard
|
|
* Modify `keymaps/<your_layout>/readme.md` to tell others about your layout.
|
|
* Modify `keymaps/<your_layout>/keymap.c` to reflect your desired layout.
|
|
* Compile your new custom firmware (`$ make <your_layout>`)
|
|
** If you have warnings you may flash without fixing them, but something may not work right.
|
|
** If you have any errors you must fix them before continuing.
|
|
* Flash the firmware (`$ make <your_layout>-dfu`)
|
|
|
|
## Share Your Keymap
|
|
|
|
Got your layout dialed in? Please share it with the world so we can benefit from your work! Simply submit a pull request with your layout and we'll include it in the official repository. Please use the following guidelines when putting together your pull request:
|
|
|
|
* Include a readme.md that states what your primary keyboard use is, how your layout differs from the default, and highlights anything you think makes your layout particularly great.
|
|
* If your layout requires certain features (EG, RGB underlight or backlighting) ensure you have a Makefile and config.h that reflects that
|
|
* If your layout requires special hardware to be added, please describe that in the readme.md
