kinesis-advantage keyboard firmware
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
This directory is called alvicstep because https://github.com/alvicstep did the heavy work and took the photos in the doc directory.
|
|
alvicstep did NOT do anything related to the QMK implementation, so don't bug him/her.
|
|
|
|
There are other ways of replacing the CPU in the kinesis, this one uses jumper wires from the Teensy to the original DIP socket
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Kinesis specific information
|
|
This is a port of https://github.com/alvicstep/tmk_keyboard,
|
|
which is a fork of https://github.com/wjanssens/tmk_keyboard,
|
|
which is based on work from https://github.com/chrisandreae/keyboard-firmware
|
|
|
|
If you replace the kinesis CPU as described in the doc folder, then this code should allow you to use QMK.
|
|
I've tested with a Teensy 2++, remember to change the CPU if you use a 32u4 instead.
|
|
|
|
Not yet implemented:
|
|
- Kinesis EEProm reading or writing
|
|
- Audio - this should be simple if we remove hardcoded pins from audio.h and switch to E7
|
|
|
|

|
## Quantum MK Firmware
|
|
|
|
For the full Quantum feature list, see [the parent readme.md](/doc/readme.md).
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
Download or clone the whole firmware and navigate to the keyboards/kinesis-advantage folder. Once your dev env is setup, you'll be able to type `make` to generate your .hex - you can then use the Teensy Loader to program your .hex file.
|
|
|
|
Depending on which keymap you would like to use, you will have to compile slightly differently.
|
|
|
|
### Default
|
|
|
|
To build with the default keymap, simply run `make`.
|
|
|
|
### Other Keymaps
|
|
|
|
Several version of keymap are available in advance but you are recommended to define your favorite layout yourself. To define your own keymap create a folder with the name of your keymap in the keymaps folder, and see keymap documentation (you can find in top readme.md) and existant keymap files.
|
|
|
|
To build the firmware binary hex file with a keymap just do `make` with `keymap` option like:
|
|
|
|
$ make keymap=[default|jack|<name>]
|
|
|
|
Keymaps follow the format **__keymap.c__** and are stored in folders in the `keymaps` folder, eg `keymaps/my_keymap/`
