Build Firmware and Program Controller
-------------------------------------
See [doc/build.md](tmk_core/doc/build.md), or the readme in the particular keyboards/* folder.
Change your keymap
------------------
See [doc/keymap.md](tmk_core/doc/keymap.md).
Magic Commands
--------------
To see help press `Magic` + `H`.
`Magic` key combination is `LShift` + `RShift` in many project, but `Power` key on ADB converter.
`Magic` keybind can be vary on each project, check `config.h` in project directory.
Following commands can be also executed with `Magic` + key. In console mode `Magic` keybind is not needed.
----- Command Help -----
c: enter console mode
d: toggle debug enable
x: toggle matrix debug
k: toggle keyboard debug
m: toggle mouse debug
v: print device version & info
t: print timer count
s: print status
e: print eeprom config
n: toggle NKRO
0/F10: switch to Layer0
1/F1: switch to Layer1
2/F2: switch to Layer2
3/F3: switch to Layer3
4/F4: switch to Layer4
PScr: power down/remote wake-up
Caps: Lock Keyboard(Child Proof)
Paus: jump to bootloader
Boot Magic Configuration - Virtual DIP Switch
---------------------------------------------
Boot Magic are executed during boot up time. Press Magic key below then plug in keyboard cable.
Note that you must use keys of **Layer 0** as Magic keys. These settings are stored in EEPROM so that retain your configure over power cycles.
To avoid configuring accidentally additive salt key `KC_SPACE` also needs to be pressed along with the following configuration keys. The salt key is configurable in `config.h`. See [tmk_core/common/bootmagic.h](tmk_core/common/bootmagic.h).
#### General
- Skip reading EEPROM to start with default configuration(`ESC`)
- Clear configuration stored in EEPROM to reset configuration(`Backspace`)
#### Bootloader
- Kick up Bootloader(`B`)
#### Debug
- Debug enable(`D`)
- Debug matrix enable(`D`+`X`)
- Debug keyboard enable(`D`+`K`)
- Debug mouse enable(`D`+`M`)
#### Keymap
- Swap Control and CapsLock(`Left Control`)
- Change CapsLock to Control(`Caps Lock`)
- Swap LeftAlt and Gui(`Left Alt`)
- Swap RightAlt and Gui(`Right Alt`)
- Disable Gui(`Left Gui`)
- Swap Grave and Escape(`Grave`)
- Swap BackSlash and BackSpace(`Back Slash`)
- Enable NKRO on boot(`N`)
#### Default Layer
- Set Default Layer to 0(`0`)
- Set Default Layer to 1(`1`)
- Set Default Layer to 2(`2`)
- Set Default Layer to 3(`3`)
- Set Default Layer to 4(`4`)
- Set Default Layer to 5(`5`)
- Set Default Layer to 6(`6`)
- Set Default Layer to 7(`7`)
Mechanical Locking support
--------------------------
This feature makes it possible for you to use mechanical locking switch for `CapsLock`, `NumLock`
or `ScrollLock`. To enable this feature define these macros in `config.h` and use `KC_LCAP`, `KC_LN
UM` or `KC_LSCR` in keymap for locking key instead of normal `KC_CAPS`, `KC_NLCK` or `KC_SLCK`. Res
ync option tries to keep switch state consistent with keyboard LED state.
#define LOCKING_SUPPORT_ENABLE
#define LOCKING_RESYNC_ENABLE
Start Your Own Project
-----------------------
**TBD**
Debugging
--------
Use PJRC's `hid_listen` to see debug messages. You can use the tool for debug even if firmware use LUFA stack.
You can use xprintf() to display debug info on `hid_listen`, see `tmk_core/common/xprintf.h`.
