1 Quantum MK Firmware
2 ================================
3 This is a keyboard firmware based on the [tmk_keyboard firmware](http://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard) with some useful features for Atmel AVR controller, and more specifically, the OLKB product line.
4
5 Updates
6 -------
7 #### 2015/10/28
8 Merged TMK updates from the past few months, and separately additions into /quantum. You can make a new quantum-based project by using `./new_project.sh <project_name>`, which will create /keyboard/<project_name>. 
9
10 There are lots of new features, and they'll be documented soon.
11
12 #### 2015/04/22
13 Core library was separated to other branch `core`. <https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/tree/core>
14
15 In `Makefile` you need to set `TMK_DIR` to indicate core library location now.
16
17     TMK_DIR = ../../tmk_core

143
144 Magic Commands
145 --------------
146 To see help press `Magic` + `H`.
147
148 `Magic` key combination is `LShift` + `RShift` in many project, but `Power` key on ADB converter. 
149 `Magic` keybind can be vary on each project, check `config.h` in project directory.
150
151 Following commands can be also executed with `Magic` + key. In console mode `Magic` keybind is not needed.
152
153     ----- Command Help -----
154     c:      enter console mode
155     d:      toggle debug enable

174
175 Boot Magic Configuration - Virtual DIP Switch
176 ---------------------------------------------
177 Boot Magic are executed during boot up time. Press Magic key below then plug in keyboard cable.
178 Note that you must use keys of **Layer 0** as Magic keys. These settings are stored in EEPROM so that retain your configure over power cycles.
179
180 To avoid configuring accidentally additive salt key `KC_SPACE` also needs to be pressed along with the following configuration keys. The salt key is configurable in `config.h`. See [tmk_core/common/bootmagic.h](tmk_core/common/bootmagic.h).
181
182 #### General
183 - Skip reading EEPROM to start with default configuration(`ESC`)
184 - Clear configuration stored in EEPROM to reset configuration(`Backspace`)
185
186 #### Bootloader
187 - Kick up Bootloader(`B`)
188
189 #### Debug
190 - Debug enable(`D`)
191 - Debug matrix enable(`D`+`X`)
192 - Debug keyboard enable(`D`+`K`)
193 - Debug mouse enable(`D`+`M`)
194
195 #### Keymap
196 - Swap Control and CapsLock(`Left Control`)
197 - Change CapsLock to Control(`Caps Lock`)
198 - Swap LeftAlt and Gui(`Left Alt`)
199 - Swap RightAlt and Gui(`Right Alt`)
200 - Disable Gui(`Left Gui`)
201 - Swap Grave and Escape(`Grave`)
202 - Swap BackSlash and BackSpace(`Back Slash`)
203 - Enable NKRO on boot(`N`)
204
205 #### Default Layer
206 - Set Default Layer to 0(`0`)
207 - Set Default Layer to 1(`1`)
208 - Set Default Layer to 2(`2`)
209 - Set Default Layer to 3(`3`)
210 - Set Default Layer to 4(`4`)
211 - Set Default Layer to 5(`5`)
212 - Set Default Layer to 6(`6`)
213 - Set Default Layer to 7(`7`)
214
215
216
217 Mechanical Locking support
218 --------------------------
219 This feature makes it possible for you to use mechanical locking switch for `CapsLock`, `NumLock` 
220 or `ScrollLock`. To enable this feature define these macros in `config.h` and use `KC_LCAP`, `KC_LN
221 UM` or `KC_LSCR` in keymap for locking key instead of normal `KC_CAPS`, `KC_NLCK` or `KC_SLCK`. Res
222 ync option tries to keep switch state consistent with keyboard LED state.

230 -----------------------
231 **TBD**
232
233
234
235 Debugging
236 --------
237 Use PJRC's `hid_listen` to see debug messages. You can use the tool for debug even if firmware use LUFA stack.
238
239 You can use xprintf() to display debug info on `hid_listen`, see `tmk_core/common/xprintf.h`.
