LightSaver V2 Group Buy

[elton5354]

I just received and quickly install everything. By default it's all LEO turned on. Would any1 tell me how to toggle LED mode in v2? I cannot locate the MFN button -_-!

MFN button should be on the right of F12. Hold it and press F6 (+?) F7 (-?).

TrueCustom is going to translate the instruction over the next few days.  If it's not working after the translation, I'm going to lend him my LS2 for him to fix the problem, if that helps.. He said none of the Koreans have problem with it, so it should just be a translation problem. Let's see.

just got LS2 as well , however i would like to know what screws does those blockers use ? it didn't come with my package. Anybody able to let me know where can i buy them ?

I'll let you know

EDIT: They are M3x5mm screws.

It's mine together with Orion TKL. Again great thanks to Elton.

The key mapping software is not very good at this time - I gave it a couple of tries, but in the end decided to use TMK firmware.  Highly recommend using that if you're comfortable with the process of editing config files in text, building via Makefile/GCC and flashing using FLIP.

Why is the Duck software bad and why is the TMK firmware better? I'm asking because I am getting my Duck Viper soon and want to do the right thing.

Just try both and decide which you like more.

I received my LS2 and I'm also curious about how to change the led brightness/modes. I tried the steps you posted to adjust the brightness but it doesn't work. Looking forward to the translated instructions to see if that helps any. Thanks again Elton =)

It doesn't work. I think I should flash a custom firmware to enable the MFN button.

MFN key doesn't do any thing with brightness/LED modes.
You just need to have Different LED modes keys, LED Ctrl and LED Up/Dn on desired layer.
Hold LED Ctrl and press any LED modes that u wish to control the brightness, after that just press and hold LED Up/Dn for a few seconds u will observe brightness increases/decreases.

My LS2 was assembled so I'm not sure which layers are what..or even how to switch layers for that matter. Do you happen to know what the default LED Ctrl / LED Modes & LED Up/Dn keys are? thanks.

Elton, I was under the impression that the new plate supports the 1800-layout. Mine doesn't seem to be able to do so...

Please stop ignoring my PMs. This is getting a little distressing

Show a picture of your plate...

What PMs? You only PM'd me once and it was about the firmware which I addressed here.


The 1800 plate is the one on top.

That looks like the older plate.

Question:  My + and - keys on the numberpad (in 1800 layout) are giving the same scancodes (P+ 107 on the 02d keymapper, and 0x6B, BIOS 0x4E on EK's Switch hitter software).  Is this a glitch? Or just how it was programmed by who built it? 

Also, the board feels great to type on.  Thanks for running this elton!   Did anyone else put a pad between the the pcb and the case?  I used the foam material that the case was wrapped in to get rid of as much air space as possible.

Frick! I checked the option for the new plate

This sucks...

@elton, is there any remedy for this, or will I now have to cute my own plate?

Where can one download KeyMapper v1.5.334_RGB?
The highest version I can find is v1.5.333
EDIT: Nevermind, had some trouble navigating the site in Korean.

Quick question, is there something I need to enable in Windows to get the arrows to show up in the keymapper?

Is it like a problem displaying the character?
Because they're just question marks.

@sakai4eva I'll let them know.

Thank you. Please save this keyboard. I've already been paid for it and I hate to deliver a something I think is incomplete, not to mention the buyer also agreed to pay for an additional Tsangan kit just to make it work in 1800-layout.

Also, as an alternative, I wouldn't be partial to getting the specs/schematics for the plate, as I believe I can get a local cutter to do it for me, but it's going to cost money

Where is FN1~FN3 by default in layer 1? Or, if anyone knows of a way to download the current firmware from the lightsaver and view the key mappings that would be helpful as well. I only see 'Firmware Upload' in the O2D KeyMapper, no option to download. Nevermind, I just remapped the layout and flashed the firmware.

Does anyone know what the MFN button does? It appears to do the same function as FN1?

[StylinGreymon]

Ah, if I change the locale to Korea, the arrows show up, and I can map them.

[animaliaparadoxa]

At work now, so I don't have access to the Lightsaber (disassembled and left at home pending the plate confusion), but I can open the keymapper.

Caveat: I have only programmed text macros so far, but I think action macros should run on the same principal.

Using the latest 02D mapper software;

1. Tools > Static Macro Editor (at the top menu bar)
2. Check the "Macro Index" option on the middle right, and make sure the macro number is the one you want to edit/program
3. Click "Load"
4. Edit the macro.
5. Click "Apply"

It should work at this point, because I have programmed my text macros the exact same way.

I'd post pictures, but work Internet has decided to block imgur. If there's still confusion, I'll look for alternatives.

@elton; can we continue the plate discussion via e-mail or PM? I don't check threads that often anymore

Looks like it has support for RGB switches.
I only grabbed it because it was a higher version number.

I think the RGB version of 02D firmware is for rgb backlit under the pcb by jumping wires, I have only seen korean done this demo on Orion PCB with Unicorn housing. The light effects are awesome  .

[Zombly]

Got mine yesterday!, won't be building it fully till I move in 10 days, anyone got any ideas for a black/green themed keycap set, or any other ideas I have the silver base also need to buy a usb wire.. thinking going with Zeal's green and black

Does anyone know exactly how the FNLayer's work? I can't figure out how it knows that on FNLayer1 that it should perform LED Brightness only but on FNLayer3 it knows to dance through the various lighting schemes while keeping in mind that I only see one set of LED commands in the firmware which are already assigned in FNLayer1.

Thanks Elton.

I follow the guideline and I am now able to flash the firmware for my Orion and Lightsaver.

P.S.
- I feel the v1.5.333 keymapper is better than the RGB one. It has better LED toggle keys.
- Use Applocale to open the keymapper can show the correct arrow keys.

Hold the FN1 (which is assigned in your current layer, say Layer 1) + press LED UP or LED DN (which is assigned in FNLayer1) to adjust LED brightness.
Hold the FN3 (which is assigned in your current layer, say Layer 1) + press LED Func (which is assigned in FNLayer3) to change the LED mode of your F-keys.
etc...
MFN key is useful to trigger FN key. E.g. press MFN three times within a second and then hold it = directly hold FN3.
So that you can use 1 single key (MFN) to perform FN1 - FN3 keys.

Hey dragonken, I understand how that part works (thank you btw) I just don't understand how the Lightsaver knows that FNLayer1 functions as LED Ctrl & LED Brightness only, but on FNLayer 3 it knows to perform LED Patterns, eg. pulse, etc.

In the keymapper software I only see the LED Ctrl w/ Brightness Up/Dn. How does FNLayer3 know to control the LED Patterns? Is that hard-coded into the PCB Controller ?

Finally figured out my file save problem (default file name not windows friendly), and the firmware that it came with had multiple keys flashed to the same key (hence my 2 Number pad "+ triggers).  I've been getting exercise carrying it around in my backpack, using it with my Surface Pro 2.  I've already got some scratches on it, and will just let that happen.  I like my gear having some wear and tear on them.
