# LED Matrix Lighting :id=led-matrix-lighting
This feature allows you to use LED matrices driven by external drivers. It hooks into the backlight system so you can use the same keycodes as backlighting to control it.
If you want to use RGB LED's you should use the [RGB Matrix Subsystem](feature_rgb_matrix.md) instead.
## Driver configuration :id=driver-configuration
---
### IS31FL3731 :id=is31fl3731
There is basic support for addressable LED matrix lighting with the I2C IS31FL3731 LED controller. To enable it, add this to your `rules.mk`:
```make
LED_MATRIX_ENABLE = yes
LED_MATRIX_DRIVER = IS31FL3731
```
You can use between 1 and 4 IS31FL3731 IC's. Do not specify `LED_DRIVER_ADDR_<N>` defines for IC's that are not present on your keyboard. You can define the following items in `config.h`:
| Variable | Description | Default |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| `ISSI_TIMEOUT` | (Optional) How long to wait for i2c messages, in milliseconds | 100 |
| `ISSI_PERSISTENCE` | (Optional) Retry failed messages this many times | 0 |
| `LED_DRIVER_COUNT` | (Required) How many LED driver IC's are present | |
| `DRIVER_LED_TOTAL` | (Required) How many LED lights are present across all drivers | |
| `LED_DRIVER_ADDR_1` | (Required) Address for the first LED driver | |
| `LED_DRIVER_ADDR_2` | (Optional) Address for the second LED driver | |
| `LED_DRIVER_ADDR_3` | (Optional) Address for the third LED driver | |
| `LED_DRIVER_ADDR_4` | (Optional) Address for the fourth LED driver | |
Here is an example using 2 drivers.
```c
// This is a 7-bit address, that gets left-shifted and bit 0
// set to 0 for write, 1 for read (as per I2C protocol)
// The address will vary depending on your wiring:
// 0b1110100 AD <-> GND
// 0b1110111 AD <-> VCC
// 0b1110101 AD <-> SCL
// 0b1110110 AD <-> SDA
#define LED_DRIVER_ADDR_1 0b1110100
#define LED_DRIVER_ADDR_2 0b1110110
#define LED_DRIVER_COUNT 2
#define LED_DRIVER_1_LED_TOTAL 25
#define LED_DRIVER_2_LED_TOTAL 24
#define DRIVER_LED_TOTAL (LED_DRIVER_1_LED_TOTAL + LED_DRIVER_2_LED_TOTAL)
```
!> Note the parentheses, this is so when `LED_DRIVER_LED_TOTAL` is used in code and expanded, the values are added together before any additional math is applied to them. As an example, `rand() % (LED_DRIVER_1_LED_TOTAL + LED_DRIVER_2_LED_TOTAL)` will give very different results than `rand() % LED_DRIVER_1_LED_TOTAL + LED_DRIVER_2_LED_TOTAL`.
For split keyboards using `LED_MATRIX_SPLIT` with an LED driver, you can either have the same driver address or different driver addresses. If using different addresses, use `DRIVER_ADDR_1` for one and `DRIVER_ADDR_2` for the other one. Then, in `g_is31_leds`, fill out the correct driver index (0 or 1). If using one address, use `DRIVER_ADDR_1` for both, and use index 0 for `g_is31_leds`.
Define these arrays listing all the LEDs in your `<keyboard>.c`:
```c
const is31_led __flash g_is31_leds[DRIVER_LED_TOTAL] = {
/* Refer to IS31 manual for these locations
* driver
* | LED address
* | | */
{ 0, C1_1 },
{ 0, C1_15 },
// ...
}
```
Where `Cx_y` is the location of the LED in the matrix defined by [the datasheet](https://www.issi.com/WW/pdf/31FL3731.pdf) and the header file `drivers/led/issi/is31fl3731-simple.h`. The `driver` is the index of the driver you defined in your `config.h` (`0`, `1`, `2`, or `3` ).
---
## Common Configuration :id=common-configuration
From this point forward the configuration is the same for all the drivers. The `led_config_t` struct provides a key electrical matrix to led index lookup table, what the physical position of each LED is on the board, and what type of key or usage the LED if the LED represents. Here is a brief example:
```c
led_config_t g_led_config = { {
// Key Matrix to LED Index
{ 5, NO_LED, NO_LED, 0 },
{ NO_LED, NO_LED, NO_LED, NO_LED },
{ 4, NO_LED, NO_LED, 1 },
{ 3, NO_LED, NO_LED, 2 }
}, {
// LED Index to Physical Position
{ 188, 16 }, { 187, 48 }, { 149, 64 }, { 112, 64 }, { 37, 48 }, { 38, 16 }
}, {
// LED Index to Flag
1, 4, 4, 4, 4, 1
} };
```
The first part, `// Key Matrix to LED Index`, tells the system what key this LED represents by using the key's electrical matrix row & col. The second part, `// LED Index to Physical Position` represents the LED's physical `{ x, y }` position on the keyboard. The default expected range of values for `{ x, y }` is the inclusive range `{ 0..224, 0..64 }`. This default expected range is due to effects that calculate the center of the keyboard for their animations. The easiest way to calculate these positions is imagine your keyboard is a grid, and the top left of the keyboard represents `{ x, y }` coordinate `{ 0, 0 }` and the bottom right of your keyboard represents `{ 224, 64 }`. Using this as a basis, you can use the following formula to calculate the physical position:
```c
x = 224 / (NUMBER_OF_COLS - 1) * COL_POSITION
y = 64 / (NUMBER_OF_ROWS - 1) * ROW_POSITION
```
Where NUMBER_OF_COLS, NUMBER_OF_ROWS, COL_POSITION, & ROW_POSITION are all based on the physical layout of your keyboard, not the electrical layout.
As mentioned earlier, the center of the keyboard by default is expected to be `{ 112, 32 }`, but this can be changed if you want to more accurately calculate the LED's physical `{ x, y }` positions. Keyboard designers can implement `#define LED_MATRIX_CENTER { 112, 32 }` in their config.h file with the new center point of the keyboard, or where they want it to be allowing more possibilities for the `{ x, y }` values. Do note that the maximum value for x or y is 255, and the recommended maximum is 224 as this gives animations runoff room before they reset.
`// LED Index to Flag` is a bitmask, whether or not a certain LEDs is of a certain type. It is recommended that LEDs are set to only 1 type.
## Flags :id=flags
|Define |Value |Description |

## Custom LED Matrix Effects :id=custom-led-matrix-effects
By setting `LED_MATRIX_CUSTOM_USER` (and/or `LED_MATRIX_CUSTOM_KB`) in `rules.mk`, new effects can be defined directly from userspace, without having to edit any QMK core files.
To declare new effects, create a new `led_matrix_user/kb.inc` that looks something like this:
`led_matrix_user.inc` should go in the root of the keymap directory.
`led_matrix_kb.inc` should go in the root of the keyboard directory.
To use custom effects in your code, simply prepend `LED_MATRIX_CUSTOM_` to the effect name specified in `LED_MATRIX_EFFECT()`. For example, an effect declared as `LED_MATRIX_EFFECT(my_cool_effect)` would be referenced with:
```c
led_matrix_mode(led_MATRIX_CUSTOM_my_cool_effect);
```
```c
// !!! DO NOT ADD #pragma once !!! //
// Step 1.
// Declare custom effects using the LED_MATRIX_EFFECT macro
// (note the lack of semicolon after the macro!)
LED_MATRIX_EFFECT(my_cool_effect)
LED_MATRIX_EFFECT(my_cool_effect2)
// Step 2.
// Define effects inside the `LED_MATRIX_CUSTOM_EFFECT_IMPLS` ifdef block
#ifdef LED_MATRIX_CUSTOM_EFFECT_IMPLS
// e.g: A simple effect, self-contained within a single method
static bool my_cool_effect(effect_params_t* params) {
LED_MATRIX_USE_LIMITS(led_min, led_max);
for (uint8_t i = led_min; i < led_max; i++) {
led_matrix_set_value(i, 0xFF);
}
return led_matrix_check_finished_leds(led_max);
}
// e.g: A more complex effect, relying on external methods and state, with
// dedicated init and run methods
static uint8_t some_global_state;
static void my_cool_effect2_complex_init(effect_params_t* params) {
some_global_state = 1;
}
static bool my_cool_effect2_complex_run(effect_params_t* params) {
LED_MATRIX_USE_LIMITS(led_min, led_max);
for (uint8_t i = led_min; i < led_max; i++) {
led_matrix_set_value(i, some_global_state++);
}
return led_matrix_check_finished_leds(led_max);
}
static bool my_cool_effect2(effect_params_t* params) {
if (params->init) my_cool_effect2_complex_init(params);
return my_cool_effect2_complex_run(params);
}
#endif // LED_MATRIX_CUSTOM_EFFECT_IMPLS
```
For inspiration and examples, check out the built-in effects under `quantum/led_matrix/animations/`.
## Additional `config.h` Options :id=additional-configh-options
```c
#define LED_MATRIX_KEYPRESSES // reacts to keypresses
#define LED_MATRIX_KEYRELEASES // reacts to keyreleases (instead of keypresses)
#define LED_MATRIX_FRAMEBUFFER_EFFECTS // enable framebuffer effects
#define LED_DISABLE_TIMEOUT 0 // number of milliseconds to wait until led automatically turns off

#define LED_MATRIX_LED_PROCESS_LIMIT (DRIVER_LED_TOTAL + 4) / 5 // limits the number of LEDs to process in an animation per task run (increases keyboard responsiveness)
#define LED_MATRIX_LED_FLUSH_LIMIT 16 // limits in milliseconds how frequently an animation will update the LEDs. 16 (16ms) is equivalent to limiting to 60fps (increases keyboard responsiveness)
#define LED_MATRIX_MAXIMUM_BRIGHTNESS 255 // limits maximum brightness of LEDs
#define LED_MATRIX_STARTUP_MODE LED_MATRIX_SOLID // Sets the default mode, if none has been set
#define LED_MATRIX_STARTUP_VAL LED_MATRIX_MAXIMUM_BRIGHTNESS // Sets the default brightness value, if none has been set
#define LED_MATRIX_STARTUP_SPD 127 // Sets the default animation speed, if none has been set
#define LED_MATRIX_SPLIT { X, Y } // (Optional) For split keyboards, the number of LEDs connected on each half. X = left, Y = Right.
// If LED_MATRIX_KEYPRESSES or LED_MATRIX_KEYRELEASES is enabled, you also will want to enable SPLIT_TRANSPORT_MIRROR
```

### Indicators :id=indicators
If you want to set custom indicators, such as an LED for Caps Lock, or layer indication, you can use the `led_matrix_indicators_kb` or `led_matrix_indicators_user` function for that:
```c
void led_matrix_indicators_kb(void) {
led_matrix_set_color(index, value);
}
```
In addition, there are the advanced indicator functions. These are aimed at those with heavily customized displays, where rendering every LED per cycle is expensive. This includes a special macro to help make this easier to use: `LED_MATRIX_INDICATOR_SET_VALUE(i, v)`.
```c
void led_matrix_indicators_advanced_user(uint8_t led_min, uint8_t led_max) {
LED_MATRIX_INDICATOR_SET_VALUE(index, value);
}
```
