# BBASERDEM userspace code for qmk
My userspace code for my various keyboards; available here.
## Builds
These are my keyboard builds and info, it allows me to plan out my builds.
### Planck SERVER
* Board: `kprepublic/jj40`
* Microcontroller: Embedded
* Layout: `ortho_4x12`
* Functionality: Underglow RGB Lighting, LED diode lighting.
* Case: Clear Acrylic Top and Bottow, with Frosted Acrylic Diffuser (Smashing Acrylics)
* Switches: BOX Navy
* Keycaps: Datamancer Tall Deco Typewriter Keycaps
Just a decorative planck replacement (for my rev4 PCB that died.)
### Planck Light
* Board: `planck/light`
* Microcontroller: Embedded
* Layout: `ortho_4x12`
* Functionality: Per-key RGB Lighting, Audio.
* Case: Clear Acrylic Top and Bottow, with Frosted Acrylic Diffuser (Smashing Acrylics)
* Switches: BOX Navy
* Keycaps: Datamancer Tall Deco Typewriter Keycaps
Just a decorative planck replacement (for my rev4 PCB that died.)
### Corne ARM
* Board: `crkbd/rev1`
* Microcontroller: Proton C (x2)
* Layout: `split_3x6_3`
* Functionality: OLED, Audio, Per-key RGB Lighting, Rotary Encoder (x2)
* Case: IMK Corne Case v2 Polycarbonate
* Switches: Healios V2
* Keycaps: POM Jelly
PCB is actually [Proton-C Compatible crkbd PCB](https://github.com/ItsWaffIe/waffle_corne).
### Corne Lite
* Board: `crkbd/rev1`
* Microcontroller: Pro Micro (x2)
* Layout: `split_3x5_3`
* Functionality: Per-key RGB Lighting, OLED (No firmware space)
* Case: Custom
* Switches: Choc Low Burnt Orange
* Keycaps: [Scooped Choc Keycaps](https://mkultra.click/collections/keycaps/products/scooped-choc-keycaps?variant=31223543365730)
Maybe try adding a trackpad for this, as detailed
[here](https://github.com/manna-harbour/crkbd/blob/master/trackpoint/readme.org).
### Kyria
* Board: `splitkb/kyria/rev1`
* Microcontroller: Pro Micro (x2)
* Layout: `split_3x6_6`
* Functionality: OLED, Underglow RGB Lighting (No firmware space), Rotary Encoder (x2)
* Case: Matte Black Acrylic High-Profile case
* Switches: Gateron Ink Silent Black
* Keycaps: Oblotzky SA Oblivion
Main driver at work currently; love the switches and the board layout.
# Firmware building
## Archlinux
On archlinux, the package *arm-none-eabi-gcc* is too new.
To fix; add to the environment `CFLAGS="-Wno-error=deprecated"` to compilation commands.
Also; says to run `avr-gcc` version `8.4.0` for smaller firmware,
but I find that it only saves a few bytes.
## Bootloader
Needed to type this out from the QMK website.
If I want to flash a new bootloader for a machine; here are steps;
1. Flash the util/pro_micro_ISP_B6_10.hex to a spare promicro using;
`avrdude -p atmega32u4 -P "$(ls /dev/ttyACM*)" -c avr109 -D -U flash:w:pro_micro_ISP_B6_10.hex`
2. Wire the pins; (first is the ISP pro micro; second is the target)
```
Pro Micro 10 (B6) <-> Keyboard RESET
Pro Micro 15 (B1) <-> Keyboard B1 (SCLK)
Pro Micro 16 (B2) <-> Keyboard B2 (MOSI)
Pro Micro 14 (B3) <-> Keyboard B3 (MISO)
Pro Micro VCC <-> Keyboard VCC
Pro Micro GND <-> Keyboard GND
```
I do have this on hand I believe; from massdrop's planck light firmware updater.
3. Connect the flashed pro micro to my computer and run
`avrdude -c avrisp -P "$(ls /dev/ttyACM*)" -p atmega32u4 -U flash:w:bootloader_atmega32u4_1.0.0.hex:i -U lfuse:w:0x5E:m -U hfuse:w:0xD9:m -U efuse:w:0xC3:m`
The avrisp here refers to the firmware on the ISP flasher pro micro.
The `atmega32u4` refers to the CPU used in the respective breakout boards.
The `avrdude` command interacts with catalina bootloader.
The shell call after the `-P` flag auto finds the port that the pro micro connects to.
The last few arguments are some jumpers apparently.
# Features
My userspace has a lot of shared code between different keyboards.
These files are prefixed with `sbp-` to remove any naming clash.
* [bb-audio](bb-audio.c): Code dealing with audio playback using onboard sound.
* [bb-encoder](bb-encoder.c): Rotary encoder sutff.
* [bb-macro](bb-macro.c): My custom keycodes; macros, tap dances, etc.
* [bb-oled](bb-oled.c): Controls OLED displays. For higher memory; there is also [bb-oled-extra](bb-oled-extra.c).
* [bb-rgb](bb-rgb.c): Controls per-key RGB LED matrix stuff, and layer indication. Uses `RGB_MATRIX`.
* [bb-underglaw](bb-underglow.c): Controls RGB LED strip, and layer indication. Uses `RGBLIGHT`.
# Layout
My personal layout is mostly inspired by the
[Miryoku layout](../manna-harbour_miryoku/miryoku.org).
There are some changes to make it friendlier to international keyboards.
My board is compatible with software implementation of Dvorak and Turkish F.
## Base
Base layer uses tap-hold functionality to have access to modifiers.
The modifiers are mirrored on each half of the layout;
as to make those modifiers accessible to the keys that overlap them.
Besides the Alt key; each side has the proper L/R version of the modifier.
Since Right Alt key functions as AltGr key;
both the L and R versions are available on each side.
