I used the beta AVR firmware with my HID Liberation Device and it seems that numbers (1 to 0) during game play doesn't work (I try to use the number for an attack, but it doesn't do anything). Outside of the game, the number works fine. Could this be related to the software?

Thank you!

Updated the beta again.  Anyone using Bpiphany's controllers (Black Petal, Pegasus Hoof, Kitten Paw, Frosty Flake) should definitely upgrade.  There was a nasty memory corruption bug.

The ATmega32U2 used in those controllers is very constrained on RAM.  It only has 1KB (1024 Bytes).  Program data is allocated in RAM starting at the "bottom", towards the "top".  Dynamic memory, which you might think of as temporary data, is allocated at the "top" towards the "bottom".  On simple systems like the AVR it is up to the designer to ensure that the two never meet.  That's a challenge on such a small microcontroller.  I wasn't careful enough.

Diagnosing memory corruption from a stack overflow is NOT a fun task on a keyboard with no debugger, believe me.

Alright all that has been fixed.  I've tried it on my Epsilon, Qazpad, Phantom, HID Liberation Device, KMAC, and Rosewill.  If I don't hear of any bugs, I will move today's beta version to Release.

I have a bug/problem with beta 20140325.

On my Frosty Flake (ISO) I can't use the keyboard after I have played the RAM macro.
Only thing that works then is to play the RAM macro again.

I have to unplug and replug the keyboard to get it working again.
Doing a soft reset (with the boot button) does not fix this, it has to be physically unplugged.

I hope that is enough info for you to fix this, if not I'll try to be more precise.

Thanks for the bug report!  I have no memory of trying that function so I probably didn't test it even though I did change that code (facepalm).  I think I know the cause.  I'll have it fixed tonight.  I also have updates for LED dimming that I haven't released yet.

Possible to add support for Leeku 1800?

Like most of the Korean boards, it seems to use an ATmega microcontroller without the USB hardware.  A quick search of geekhack leads me to believe it uses the ATmega32A, like the A87.  My firmware requires the USB parts.  This is partly because I have no interest at all in supporting PS2.  It died of old age a few years ago.

There is a USB library for that part, however I haven't tried it.  I'm not so sure it would be possible to support both that and LUFA, which Icurrently use.  Does TMK support it?

Updated the beta to fix the RAM Macro bug.  Also added LED dimming.

The ATmega32U2 devices are getting full... only 5 bytes of spare RAM. :(

alright, I give up. How do you use the LED dimming? This means you can dim lock LEDs, right?

edit: nevermind, figured it out. I didn't think the dimmer scancode would also work for lock LEDs but I see that it does. Awesome! Thanks!

Trying to load the hex onto my qazpad

installed the drivers per flip's files

started up flip got all the way up to running the operations flow

only erase works, blank check, program, verify fails, error was could not read from USB device.

Any suggestions?

edit:

got it to erase, program, verify. when hitting start application getting could not write to usb device


I could easily support it, just don't have one to test.  Is there a schematic?

Not that I know of



EDIITTTT: IT WORKS!!!!

Hmmm, very strange issues right there.  Sounds like you got it working, which is good.  I never experienced any issue programming the initial code.  Let me know if it keeps up.

Hi metalliqaz :)
I have a problem with the latest version of your firmware and my kitten paw... When I hit the 'b', the keyboard send a 'b' and some 'n'. If I keep 'b' pressed, it prints only one 'b' and keep printing 'n'... It's very strange. The 'b' seems the only button affected.

Ooh, this is gonna be a good one. :P

(1) First off, does the 'n' key work correctly?

(2) Next try the latest release version from OP.  Does it still happen?

(3) Get version 2014.03.30 from OP, create a debug firmware. (this is identical to normal firmware, but will detect matrix problems by sending a '*' character).  Do you see any '*' characters while you type?

(4) Also, does the problem still happen with that beta?

(5) With Beta 2014.03.30, try forcing "basic keyboard" in the config console.  This reverts back to 6KRO.  Does it still happen?

If you get the extra 'n' after all 3 of those tests, then there is either a deep flaw with my Kitten Paw support, or your keyboard has a problem.  I don't have a Kitten Paw but I do have a Frosty Flake, which is similar.  I'll try it again.  I also need to check the Paw schematic when I get home.  Really need the answers to those 5 questions, though.

1 - Yes
2 - Yes
3 - Yes, when i push Right Arrow
4 - Yes
5 - I don't find 'basic keyboard' setting :D

With the original bpiphany fw, the problem disappear.
Thanks for the response ;)

Okay don't worry about the basic keyboard thing.  The debug firmware tells me the root cause.  If you're getting the '*', then I don't have the matrix quite right.  I'll fix it tonight.  I don't have a kitten paw but I did have someone testing it for me a while back.  I don't know how we missed it.

I tested the first versions for you, if you remember, but a that time I didn't see any problem.
However, thank you for the support ;)

ps: while I'm writing this, I've discovered that the key 'n' and 'k', if pressed simultaneously, print an * :)

pps: '/' key print an *.

ppps: in some cases, the 'n' key print an *.

Okay so if you open the keymapper and look at the part where it shows you the Matrix Row and Col, you will see that all those keys are on Row 0.  I'm probably inadvertently activating another row at the same time.  I'm going to look into that.

Al3xG, try the new 2014.04.01 build.

I was able to reproduce the problem on my Rosewill.  The matrix configuration was perfect, it appears the problem was timing.  I needed to leave more time for the strobe to settle.

Just want to say this is the greatest software ever. I want to add it to all of my boards as its so easy to use yet so powerful.

Could it be possible to make your software work with soarer's code? So converting XT, AT etc scancodes into USB, but with your macros and layers? If so, that would be sooooooo sweet.

Hi metalliqaz, sorry for the bad news but this update doesn't seem to work. The layout is completely messed, some keys don't work, some print *, some print other characters.

EDIT: now I'm using an older version of your fw (20131121) and it works pretty well, but if I press the 'b' key simultaneously with '6' or 'y' or 'u' or 'h' or 'j' or 'm', it prints the pressed letters plus an 'n'. I hope this could help you...

Glad you find it useful!  Unfortunately I don't see integration with Soarerverter code in the future.  The only thing that I could see would be a similar GUI front end for his binaries, but I just don't have the time to work it.

It already does that!  ...unless I'm not understanding you.

For example, I support the Matias Half-Querty layout by making the spacebar a Fn key.  When it is held, it acts like Fn.  When it is tapped, it sends a space.

They are not configurable.  The goal of the project is to make a keyboard that is powerful, yet simple.  I do not know of a way to make open-ended LED configuration simple.

The Caps, Scroll, and Num locks are under the control of the host computer, per the USB HID spec.

Okay, I remember reading up on changing the LEDs to show current layer on the Ergodox.

So I was wondering if something similar could be done where you could have an option in your GUI to replace either of the lock LEDs with current layer indication.

The keyboard actually supports that, as there is a Layer Lock LED in the Qazpad.

The problem is really configuring it.  How would a user program an LED in a straightforward way?  Now, it might be possible to, say, add an option that swaps the one of the lock indicators with layer lock.  That might be possible.

The most current version does not seem to work with my JD40. The hex files it generated do not output anything, regardless of whether they're built in debug or normal mode. When I flash the original hex file back, it functions fine. I think the most recent version of the AVR mapper does't work with JD40s. Is there anything I could do to help you debug this issue?

I should start classifying each type of hardware with a maturity rating.  The Smallfry KB (JD's 40%) has no testing whatsoever.  If you're willing to be my guinea pig, we should be able to get it working in no time.  It's probably something relatively simple.

What does SCANCODE_BASS_BOOST do, aside from turning my PC into an early 1990s Aiwa Walkman knock-off?  Is it only supported by some sound drivers/outputs, because it seems to make no difference in the sound coming out of my PC (from a Realtek onboard sound, via coax digital, to a reciever)

Correct. Only supported by some output drivers.  Also, all the media keys are windows only.

Okay, I remember reading up on changing the LEDs to show current layer on the Ergodox.

So I was wondering if something similar could be done where you could have an option in your GUI to replace either of the lock LEDs with current layer indication.

I'm starting to think I should make the LEDs programmable.  I kind of want that now myself.  I think I'm going to do it in two phases.  First the basic uses (caps, scroll, num) then more advanced options.
