TMK Generic

  • I'm not sure what the Magic + H does. Is this a menu that will pop up regardless of what platform and program is open?

Yes, this is sort of debugging. Use PJRC's hid_listen to see debug messages.

TMK/Ergodox specific

  • I would like to configure my leds to indicate the active layer. I read that can be done, but I haven't seen an example for this firmware. Can someone please post an example or a link?

TMK for Ergodox have support for seven (!) led's:

Any of these leds can be used as layer indicator or NumLock/CapsLock/ScrollLock led.

Here is example how you can assign some meaning to each led. In this code only left leds are used to show layers, but you can change led_set() and do anything you want with all leds.

Firmware

Where to get binaries?

https://github.com/cub-uanic/tmk_keyboard/releases

Where to get sources?

https://github.com/cub-uanic/tmk_keyboard/tree/master

How to compile?

cd tmk_keyboard/keyboard/ergodox

# just to be safe
make -f Makefile.lufa clean

# use one of these
make -f Makefile.lufa
make -f Makefile.lufa dvorak
make -f Makefile.lufa colemak
make -f Makefile.lufa workman
make -f Makefile.lufa micro
make -f Makefile.lufa cub

Layouts

TODO description of layouts in base firmware binaries

Things TO-DO

  • Flash NumLock led only when "numpad" layer is active
  • Command (in terms of IS_COMMAND) to switch to no-leds mode
  • Increase count of ACTION keys
  • Fix command_state() onboard led: it should flash only when kbd in some specific mode (CONSOLE || MOUSE)
  • ergodox_blink_all_leds() should save current state of leds, and restore after blink. initial state of all leds == off
  • add support for pseudo-backlight (reversed LEDs) + docs/photo
  • command to debug all LEDs (on/off/blink)
  • proper (in-core) implementation of DEBUG_MATRIX_SCAN_RATE (non-Ergodox specific)
  • proper (in-core) support for per-layer fn_actions[]
  • create one-handed layouts, see http://half-qwerty.com/ https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=60165.0 https://www.massdrop.com/ext/ergodox/?hash=e097c3b9932179055023d47e48b25f1d
