Anyone knows how to map/remap keys?

Seems like theres nothing mapped when i jump with tweezers, and i want to know if i have a broken pcb before i start soldering.

It's supposed to use TMK so maybe ZZ or someone else can post up a working .hex for you.
That would be neat yeah.

What program do i use once i have a hex file to upload it?

I believe you should be able to use Flip (Formerly known as Atmel Flip)

In any case I would wait for someone with more information to chime in.

Like that!

Just looked up wire pictures on google and this should be it. Board gets recognized but seems like theres no keymap on it yet.

So hope anyone has a .hex file for me.

Awesome, thank you so much! I'll hopefully get a working keymap eventually :D

I got two PCBs and two plates so that I could swap out switch types easily, but, if this daughterboard is soldered to the PCB, would I need to get a second daughterboard? I'm wondering what the best approach is for this.

I received mine today, and, holy crap, it's hefty! There's a small scuff on left side and a slightly stripped screw hole on the brass weight, but otherwise it looks fantastic! Thanks for the excellent GB! Even though it took a little longer than expected, it went very smoothly with no drama, which is awesome!

Any word on the special keycap for those of us who submitted logo designs?

didnt see in the posted pics that there is a daugtherboard and looks like the usb placing in the pcb is positioned correctly from the case usb hole altho abit deeper. So that means that its standard? Just curious cause it wasnt mentioned anywhere that it is.

Additionally, every key is working except for R-WIN. I have a winkeyless model, so this will be my right-ALT. It doesn't register at all (with a switch in it or with tweeters shorting it). Has anyone else had this issue? I have a second PCB to test with, but I've already soldered the daughterboard to this one and can't desolder it now since the plate is in the way.

did you try mapping something to it just to make sure it's not blank? I've had that issue with some PCBs before

Could you possible share with us how you mapped your keys? Or was there already a layout mapped to your pcb?

there might be a layout preflashed that doesn't have anything mapped to that part of the matrix

it's mostly an issue with bootmapper PCBs

Ah too bad..

Supposedly it's a TMK pcb, and that it's programmed on tgk.io, but i don't see a option for moon there, and on top of that i have no idea how to edit those keymaps and how to upload it.

So if anyone here knows how to do all this, please share your knowledge here. I would like to start soldering today.

Damn, that's a bummer to hear. I also got 2 PCBs and would've expected each to come with it's own daughter board. Will probably have to solder in some extra wire and use a connector.

I would love to hear from people who manage to get all of this work as to how they did it. I am also expecting an extra PCB and would have expected to get a daughter board for each. In fact, I wasn't even aware at the beginning of the GB that this would require an extra daughter board.

Let us know how you fare!

Also, it'd be nice if the PCB designer or zzyjayfree could write up a guide on the PCB.

This is news to me too. Seems like a strange oversight to not include one per PCB

I will check the keymapping once I figure out how to get TMK working, which is apparently the most complicated thing in the world to set up (I have to install a Linux VM; wut?). I was hoping to avoid having to mess with it since it's just a TKL and doesn't need any special mapping, but I'll report back if that fixes the issue once I get it up and running. Thanks for the suggestion.

Ha, I actually used your pictures as a guide, so I soldered the wires in the same way you did. I plugged the PCB into my computer, and it was detected immediately and loaded the driver (Kimera core). I used tweezers to test five or six of the keys before building it.

Also, I just checked the carrying case again, and there is indeed a second daughterboard. I just didn't see it through all of the foam and bubble wrap. My apologies for any panic I may have caused.

Haha okay good, yeah these wires should be the way to solder them, was just curious since you have a working keymap.

Ah so with uploading a driver you got also a keymap with it? Could you care to explain how you did that?

I just need a default keymap so i can check if everything is working, and that i can start soldering.

I didn't do anything special. I literally just plugged it into my computer and waited four or five seconds for the "device detected/loading driver" notification to pop up, and then it started working. I did the same thing with my laptop. I wish I could be of more help. If I have time tonight, I'll look more into setting up TMK and messing with the keymap.

I tried stepping through these videos last night, but it was 2 AM, and I was too tired to comprehend. Maybe they'll be helpful (they're for QMK, but I think the process is similar):

Alright so, i think i figured it out. All i need is a .hex file specifically for moon.

I think theres a default keymap on moon already, i probably just messed up. Correct me if im wrong.

On the back of the pcb by the spacebar area, there is a button. Do **not** press this, since it resets the board, with also wiping the keymap thats on it.

Ill add my usb wiring pics again, because these are correct. Please let me know your findings after soldering the usb and connecting to your pc, if there is already a default keymap.

I believe these are extra diodes and resistors, if it happens that one breaks off.

Arent those to connectors for the daughter board? Solder the black one on the PCB and the cables in the white one, and then you can move the cable?

The plastic parts is just the packaging, since theyre so tiny. The usb wiring can be seen couple posts above.

Alright so, i think i figured it out. All i need is a .hex file specifically for moon.

I think theres a default keymap on moon already, i probably just messed up. Correct me if im wrong.

On the back of the pcb by the spacebar area, there is a button. Do **not** press this, since it resets the board, with also wiping the keymap thats on it.

Ill add my usb wiring pics again, because these are correct. Please let me know your findings after soldering the usb and connecting to your pc, if there is already a default keymap.

I think I am in the same boat as you except I have a keymap but it seems to be very off (my 2 is backspace for example). Hopfully we can get a hex soon soon so I can build!

Hmm very odd that keymaps seem to be different per pcb.

Jay hook us up with a hex file!

I've been looking into TMK a bit, but, since I'm just missing one key, I thought I didn't need to go through the whole firmware compilation and flashing procedure; I just need a keymap.

The first step would appear to be using the keyboard layout editor (http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/) to create a layout and then using TMK Keymap Generator (https://tkg.io/#) to create a keymap from the raw data (it even has "Kimera" as one of the keyboards listed in the dropdown. I selected "Kimera 3000" in the config tab) and download it. That's where I get a bit lost. Do I have to re-build the firmware with my particular keymap and then reflash the PCB? Is that how this works?

I'm really terrible with this kind of thing unless there are explicit instructions.
Maybe they're waiting for gasmasks and latex to get sexy again.

I'm really terrible with this kind of thing unless there are explicit instructions.

I did all the steps it stated on the tkg thread and tried reflashing mine with a layout the same way you did and nothing seemed to change, still a strange layout. Ive talked to a friend who said he should be able to swap it over to qmk if needed so ill probably just end up doing that if I cant figure it out. Also do any of you have problems with inserting a cable into the mini usb when the case is all put together? With it assembled cables wont go all the way into the usb port. Weird part is if the screws aren't in then it goes in just fine.

Edit: After checking out the layout on mine more it seems my the columns on my layout are mixed up. Like the column that backspace is on is in the column where 2 is and then 1 and grave are - and + respectively. Im not really sure why this is exactly, I have 0 experience with tmk.

I used tkg.io to try and flash the matrix and layout of a friend who was in the china gb and it didn't seem to work for me. I think I just need to figure out the correct key matrix and it should be fine, Im terrible at this stuff though and I talked to a buddy that runs a keyboard repair/service and hes gonna swap it over to qmk and do a layout for me. Kinda sad since I wanted to do this all myself but Im not gonna have time in the future.

In any case heres some pics.

Great looking board. Bummer that the china gb file doesn't work. I'm hoping once I get mine in I'll be able to port it over to qmk relatively quick.

Hey there, I was away for a while, life got in the way. I see there seems to be a lot of questions regarding the mapping and soldering. As I don’t have the board myself yet (gotta send out as many as possible to buyers first..), I can’t say much about it. But I’ve request an instruction from the PCB designer. Hopefully I’ll get it soon!

One of the daughterboards was already attached to the case/frame on mine, and the other one was in a small, separate plastic bag in the carrying case.

Have you checked inside the carrying case or around the carpet where you opened it? I had a loose screw that fell out of the brass weight when I first opened it because it was partially stripped. I was able to screw it back in a little bit.
