# kinesis_stapelberg keyboard firmware
|
|
|
|
This folder contains the firmware customization required to run QMK on the custom controller for the Kinesis Advantage created by Michael Stapelberg.
|
|
It differs from the `alvicstep` keyboard in that the existing QMK Kinesis Advantage project uses the existing controller board provided by Kinesis.
|
|
|
|
The controller board hardware is described
|
|
[here](http://michael.stapelberg.de/Artikel/kinesis_custom_controller)
|
|
|
|
Mapping the pin assignments was done using the corresponding matrix description provided at this
|
|
[link](https://github.com/stapelberg/kinesis-firmware/blob/master/kb_kinesis/config.kspec)
|
|
|
|
This code makes no attempt to drive the four LEDs provided on the controller board.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Building the Hardware
|
|
|
|
If you want to perform this customization, these parts may be helpful.
|
|
|
|
| Function | Quantity | Vendor | Part Number |
|
|
| ------------------------------------------------------ | -------- | ------- | ------------ |
|
|
| 13 pin connector for function keys and finger keywells | 4 | Digi-Key | WM14526-ND |
|
|
| 10 pin headers for thumb clusters | 4 | Digi-Key | 609-3250-ND |
|
|
| 8 pin cable for thumb clusters | 2 | Digi-Key | SAM8928-ND |
|
|
| Teensy++ 2.0 | 1 | Digi-Key | 1528-1056-ND |
|
|
| 2 pin right angle header for reset | 1 | Digi-Key | 952-2244-ND |
|
|
| Reset cables | 1 | Digi-Key | PRT-08672-ND |
|
|
|
|
The board and connections are shown here
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Teensy mounting detail can be seen here.
|
|
I used a socket for prototyping.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since the proper mounting of the Teensy board places the reset button in a tight space, I added a 2-pin header to the reset and ground pins on the edge of the board.
|
|
Shorting these two pins together will reset the board.
|
|
I also put female to male header jumper cables on these so they could be accessed outside the enclosure.
|
|
The exterior cables can be seen here.

## Keymaps
|
|
|
|
### Default
|
|
|
|
To build with the default keymap, run `make kinesis/stapelberg` while in the QMK directory.
|
|
|
|
### Dvorak
|
|
|
|
This keymap contains a dvorak implementation as well as media and symbol layers.
|
|
|
|
Run `make kinesis/stapelberg:dvorak` while in the QMK directory.
