[TMK] HHKB Alt Controller with Mini-B/Type-C connector
zhaochenhan1992:
Hi Hasu.
Recently I am working on a project, that need to use led light on alt controller of hhkb to show which key is pressed. I have a question of your firmware code. When in BT pairing mode, the right led light flash into red once per second, how can I change this, for example flash twice per second or not flash at all. I just tried to adjust all the corresponding code snippet about DDRE6 and PORTE6 in rn42_task.c, rn42.c. Unluckily, none of them works. Could you please tell me which part of the code related to the BT led light and how can I change the code to achieve turn off the led light during pairing mode. Thanks a lot.

Hi,
In sort answer, you can't change the behaviour basically from keyboard firmware, the red LED(D9) is controled directly by GPIO5(22) of RN42 module.
But I may be able to change or disable the GPIO5 using module commands. Check datasheet and references.

EDIT:
what the PE6 pin controls is green(yellow) part(D9) of the dual color LED.
D9 is actually red/green dual LED. D10 is not populated on PCB, btw.
You can find schematics here.

Thanks Hasu! Do I need some extra cable to connect to RN42 in order to visit the command mode? Or I can just connect keyboard via usb cable to my pc and use uart terminal interacting with RN42?

I think you can access to config mode of RN42 with hid_listen console. But this function is not be fully supported, you may have some trouble. Refer to this.

If this doesn't work you need to connect 3.3V-level UART cable to pinouts(RX,TX) on the pcb.

Thanks Hasu. For the battery led, is it possible to turn it off by changing the firmware? While in the firmware Battery_led(off) seems to let the led always on in green.
