To reprogram, look at this
KMAC programming guide for reference--it's basically the same, except that to enter bootloader, unplug your LightSaver, press and hold the Flip key while plugging the USB cable back in. The Flip key is seen here:
Show Image
(it's the right-side 1x key above Backspace)
Modify existing keymap XML file in an XML editor, save it as XML, load it into TrueKeyMapper software to check that everything looks correct, generate a HEX file (you can do it from the KeyMapper), open Flip, enter bootloader mode, reprogram.
by default, they are on Function Layer #3, which means press the MFN button 3 times in a quick succession to get to the 3rd function layer, and on the third time hold it and press a number associated with the area on the keyboard you want illuminated (alternatively, if you bind FN3 to some key, press FN3 + number)
1 = Function row LEDs
2 = Modifiers + number row
3 = Alphas
4 = Numpad
5 = Side LEDs
To cycle through different lighting modes, you can press those keys repeatedly. For example holding down FN3 (or having pressed MFN 3 times and holding it), you can keep pressing "3" to cycle through lighting modes for the alphas. Here are the lighting modes, in a cycle:
- All ON
- All OFF
- Breathing with longer dark periods
- Breathing with short dark periods (basically the opposite of the other kind of breathing, if you want to have 2 sections breathing exactly out of sync)
- Reactive ON (off until you push a key, then that section turns on briefly at maximum set brightness)
- Reactive OFF (on until you push a key, then that section turns off briefly)
- Breathing mode where speed varies based on typing speed--starts off breathing quickly then slows dramatically until you begin typing
- Breathing mode where speed varies based on typing speed--reverse of the above (breathing out of sync)
- OFF until you begin typing, then the section turns on gradually the faster you type. Fades back to off once you stop typing.
LED brightness level can be varied with LED D[ow]N and LED UP keys, on the same function layer #3 by default
The blinking LED shows you which layer you are in. It's called "Layer Status." There are 4 layers on the keyboard, so if the light blinks once every 2 seconds, it means Layer 1 is activated. 3 quick blinks means that you're in Layer 3, etc.
There are 2 modes in which that LED can be: either blinking every 2 seconds to let you know which layer you are in at all times or you can change it to only show you the layer number when changing into that layer, and then that LED will remain off until the next layer change. To switch between these two modes:
LLB: default LED Blink mode (every 2 seconds)
LLN: "Normal" LED mode (off until changing layers)
- Enter Control Mode (press the C/M button); the Layer Status LED should be lit now without blinking
- type LLN (or LLB) and press Enter
- Exit Control Mode by pressing Esc
