## Modifying the keymap

There is a GUI for editing the keymap. It is available at https://kinesiscorporation.github.io/Adv360-Pro-GUI
[The ZMK documentation](https://zmk.dev/docs) covers both basic and advanced functionality and has a table of OS compatibility for keycodes. Please note that the RGB Underglow, Backlight and Power Management sections are not relevant to the Advantage 360 Pro's custom ZMK fork. For more information see [this note](#note)

There is a web based GUI available for editing the keymap. It is available at https://kinesiscorporation.github.io/Adv360-Pro-GUI. This repository is also compatible with certain other web based ZMK keymap editors however they may have keycodes or behaviours that are not implemented on the 360 Pro and could cause unusual behaviour or build failures. Furthermore changes made on other keymap editors may not be compatible if one goes back to using the Kinesis GUI.

Certain ZMK features (e.g. combos) require knowing the exact key positions in the matrix. They can be found in both image and text format [here](assets/key-positions.md)

The built docker container and compiled firmware files can be deleted with `make clean`. This might be necessary if you updated your fork from V2.0 to V3.0 and are encountering build failures.

## Flashing firmware

Follow the programming instruction on page 8 of the [Quick Start Guide](https://kinesis-ergo.com/wp-content/uploads/Advantage360-Professional-QSG-v8-25-22.pdf) to flash the firmware.

### Overview

1. Extract the firmwares from the downloaded archive.

1. Connect the left side keyboard to USB.
1. Press Mod+macro1 to put the left side into bootloader mode; it should attach to your computer as a USB drive.
1. Copy `left.uf2` to the USB drive and it will disconnect.

> Note: There are also physical reset buttons on both keyboards which can be used to enter and exit the bootloader mode. Their location is described in section 2.7 on page 9 in the [User Manual](https://kinesis-ergo.com/wp-content/uploads/Advantage360-ZMK-KB360-PRO-Users-Manual-v3-10-23.pdf) and use is described in section 5.9 on page 14.
### Upgrading from V2 to V3

If you are upgrading from V2 to V3, and if the flashing didn't work as expected (i.e. if you are unable to pair the keyboard via Bluetooth), then consider [resetting](https://kinesis-ergo.com/support/kb360pro/#firmware-updates) both halves of the keyboard to its native state. Make sure to use the `settings-reset.uf2` file from
the V3 branch of this repository. After doing this, proceed with the flashing instructions above.

## Bluetooth LE Privacy
By default this firmware ships with BT Privacy enabled (To read more about BT privacy see [this article](https://novelbits.io/how-to-protect-the-privacy-of-your-bluetooth-low-energy-device/)). This was done based off feedback from MacOS users as some Macs and all iOS devices use resolvable private addresses that they cycle between (the Apple documentation can be found [here](https://developer.apple.com/accessories/Accessory-Design-Guidelines.pdf#page=194)), and when the host cycled to a new address the Advantage 360 Pro would need re-pairing. It can cause issues with some operating systems and hardware setups. To disable BT Privacy change `CONFIG_BT_PRIVACY=y` to `CONFIG_BT_PRIVACY=n` in [adv360_left_defconfig](config/boards/arm/adv360/adv360_left_defconfig#L52). Disabling this might necessitate re-pairing to the host.

## Changelog

The changelog for both the config repo and the underlying ZMK fork that the config repo builds against can be found [here](CHANGELOG.md).

## Beta testing

The Advantage 360 Pro is always getting updates and refinements. If you are willing to beta test you can follow [this guide from ZMK](https://zmk.dev/docs/features/beta-testing#testing-features) on how to change where your config repo points to. The `west.yml` file that is mentioned is located in config/. [This link](config/west.yml) can take you to the file. Typically you will only need to change the `revision: ` to match the beta branch. The current beta branch is [adv360-z3.2-beta](https://github.com/ReFil/zmk/tree/adv360-z3.2-beta) which is compatible with V3.0 config repositories however users must [disable BT privacy](#bluetooth-le-privacy).

Feedback on beta branches should be submitted as a GitHub issue on the base ZMK repository as opposed to this config repository

In the event of a major update the beta branch may not be compatible with the current mainline version of the config repository. If this is the case it will be detailed here along with instructions on how to update.

## Note

By default this config repository references [a customised version of ZMK](https://github.com/ReFil/zmk/tree/adv360-z3.2) with Advantage 360 Pro specific functionality and changes over [base ZMK](https://github.com/zmkfirmware/zmk). The Kinesis fork is regularly updated to bring the latest updates and changes from base ZMK however will not always be completely up to date, some features such as new keycodes will not be immediately available on the 360 Pro after they are implemented in base ZMK.

Whilst the Advantage 360 Pro is compatible with base ZMK (The pull request to merge it can be seen [here](https://github.com/zmkfirmware/zmk/pull/1454) if you want to see how to implement it) some of the more advanced features (the indicator RGB leds) will not work, and Kinesis cannot provide customer service for usage of base ZMK. Likewise the ZMK community cannot provide support for either the Kinesis keymap editor, nor any usage of the Kinesis custom fork.

In the event of a hardware issue it may be necessary to open a support ticket directly with Kinesis as opposed to a GitHub issue in this repository.
