Jumail Mundekkat 645c5fabf2 Add VIA support to MxSS, plus minor tweaks (#7809) 
* Add VIA support to mxss and general cleanup

* Add support for RGB test for FLEDs

* Add LAYOUT_all to allow for more configuration

* Remove blank layers

* Updated readme

* Improve use of EEPROM

* Credit where its due

* Use the latest iteration of rgblight code

* Keep the RGB timer running if the front LED is in RGB mode

* Fix RGB breathing animation

* Better supported RGB animation
Only thing not working is alternating, but that's not too important

* Abstract front LED handlers from main kb code

* Add support for indicator LED color changing

* Remove debug statement

* Persist indicator LED colors

* Mark custom sections in rgblight.c

* Light commenting

* Fix up keymaps

* Add/update comments

* Remove bloat from default hex

* Tidy a stray tab

* Out with the old, in with the new

* Out with the old, in with the new

* Add LAYER_STATE_8BIT for VIA keymap

MxSS - Polycarb 65% Kit for MX/SMK

MxSS - Polycarb 65% Kit for MX/SMK

Important Note:

This PCB supports the VIA configurator, and this is the recommended way to configure the keymap on this keyboard. Building the firmware should only be necessary if you would like to change the colours of the front LEDs in indicator mode.

For more information about the VIA configurator, see here.

Information:

  • Case: Frosted Polycarbonate, CNC milled
  • Plate: Brass, mirror-finished and electroplated
  • Weight: Same as plate
  • PCB: Custom designed for the MxSS by kawasaki161, White solder mask and ENIG finish

Details:

  • 2.9 degrees angle on the case
  • Top mount plate
  • Center USB, Type-B Mini
  • MX and SMK (White and Orange) switch support
  • Holtite support
  • RGB underglow
  • 1.5kg with plate and weight

Keyboard Maintainer: MxBlue

Hardware Supported: Custom PCB, ATMega32u4

Hardware Availability: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=94986.0

Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):

make mxss:default

See build environment setup then the make instructions for more information.

Front LED Operation

The MxSS PCB has 2 front RGB LEDs which has a separate brightness and mode of operation to the rest of the RGB LEDs. These are controlled through the supplied custom keycodes.

There are 3 modes of operation:

  • FLED_OFF - Front LEDs stay off
  • FLED_RGB - Front LEDs are part of the standard RGB LED modes, only works correctly with rainbow modes (will fix on request)
  • FLED_INDI - Top front LED represents Caps Lock status, bottom LED represents current layer

Colors for FLED_INDI mode are hardcoded as hue/saturation values, the caps lock color can be found in mxss_frontled.h, the layer colors are defined in keymap.c (see default/keymap.c for example).

Custom Keycodes

  • FLED_MOD - Cycle between the 3 modes (FLED_OFF -> FLED_RGB -> FLED_INDI)
  • FLED_VAI - Increase front LED brightness
  • FLED_VAD - Decrease front LED brightness

Further Notes

As SAFE_RANGE is used for defining the custom keycodes seen above, please use NEW_SAFE_RANGE as the starting value for any custom keycodes in keymap.c, as per the example.
