At minimum you must define the data pin your LED strip is connected to, and the number of LEDs in the strip, in your `config.h`. If your keyboard has onboard RGB LEDs, and you are simply creating a keymap, you usually won't need to modify these.
-|Define |Description |
-|------------|---------------------------------------------|
-|`RGB_DI_PIN`|The pin connected to the data pin of the LEDs|
-|`RGBLED_NUM`|The number of LEDs connected |
+|Define |Description |
+|---------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+|`RGB_DI_PIN` |The pin connected to the data pin of the LEDs |
+|`RGBLED_NUM` |The number of LEDs connected |
+|`RGBLED_SPLIT` |(Optional) For split keyboards, the number of LEDs connected on each half directly wired to `RGB_DI_PIN` |
Then you should be able to use the keycodes below to change the RGB lighting to your liking.

-Changing the **Hue** cycles around the circle.
-Changing the **Saturation** moves between the inner and outer sections of the wheel, affecting the intensity of the color.
-Changing the **Value** sets the overall brightness.

## Keycodes
|`RGB_MODE_GRADIENT`|`RGB_M_G` |Static gradient animation mode |
|`RGB_MODE_RGBTEST` |`RGB_M_T` |Red, Green, Blue test animation mode |
-?> For backwards compatibility, `RGB_SMOD` is another alias of `RGB_MOD`.

## Configuration
Your RGB lighting can be configured by placing these `#define`s in your `config.h`:
|`RGBLIGHT_VAL_STEP` |`17` |The number of steps to increment the brightness by |

+## Effects and Animations
+
+Not only can this lighting be whatever color you want,
+if `RGBLIGHT_EFFECT_xxxx` or `RGBLIGHT_ANIMATIONS` is defined, you also have a number of animation modes at your disposal:
+
+|Mode number symbol |Additional number |Description |

-## Animations
+Note: For versions older than 0.6.117, The mode numbers were written directly. In `quantum/rgblight.h` there is a contrast table between the old mode number and the current symbol.
-Not only can this lighting be whatever color you want, if `RGBLIGHT_ANIMATIONS` is defined, you also have a number of animation modes at your disposal:
+### Effect and Animation Toggles
-|Mode |Description |
-|-----|---------------------|
-|1 |Solid color |
-|2-5 |Solid color breathing|
-|6-8 |Cycling rainbow |
-|9-14 |Swirling rainbow |

-|21-23|Knight |
-|24 |Christmas |
-|25-34|Static gradient |
-|35 |RGB Test |
-|36 |Alternating |
+Use these defines to add or remove animations from the firmware. When you are running low on flash space, it can be helpful to disable animations you are not using.

+
+### Example Usage to Reduce Memory Footprint
+ 1. Remove `RGBLIGHT_ANIMATIONS` from `config.h`.
+ 1. Selectively add the animations you want to enable. The following would enable two animations and save about 4KiB:
+
+```diff
+ #undef RGBLED_NUM
+-#define RGBLIGHT_ANIMATIONS
++#define RGBLIGHT_EFFECT_STATIC_GRADIENT
++#define RGBLIGHT_EFFECT_RAINBOW_SWIRL
+ #define RGBLED_NUM 12
+ #define RGBLIGHT_HUE_STEP 8
+ #define RGBLIGHT_SAT_STEP 8
+```
+
+### Animation Speed
You can also modify the speeds that the different modes animate at:
+Here is a quick demo on Youtube (with NPKC KC60) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKrpPAHlisY).
+
```c
// How long (in milliseconds) to wait between animation steps for each of the "Solid color breathing" animations
const uint8_t RGBLED_BREATHING_INTERVALS[] PROGMEM = {30, 20, 10, 5};
const uint8_t RGBLED_KNIGHT_INTERVALS[] PROGMEM = {127, 63, 31};
// These control which hues are selected for each of the "Static gradient" modes
-const uint16_t RGBLED_GRADIENT_RANGES[] PROGMEM = {360, 240, 180, 120, 90};
+const uint8_t RGBLED_GRADIENT_RANGES[] PROGMEM = {255, 170, 127, 85, 64};
```

+rgblight_sethsv_range(HSV_WHITE, 0, 6);
+```
+
+These are defined in [`rgblight_list.h`](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/quantum/rgblight_list.h). Feel free to add to this list!
+
+
+## Changing the order of the LEDs
+
+If you want to make the logical order of LEDs different from the electrical connection order, you can do this by defining the `RGBLIGHT_LED_MAP` macro in your `config.h`.
+
+Normally, the contents of the LED buffer are output to the LEDs in the same order.
+<img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2170248/55743718-01866c80-5a6e-11e9-8134-25419928327a.JPG" alt="simple dicrect" width="50%"/>
+
+By defining `RGBLIGHT_LED_MAP` as in the example below, you can specify the LED with addressing in reverse order of the electrical connection order.
+
+```c
+// config.h
+
+#define RGBLED_NUM 4
+#define RGBLIGHT_LED_MAP { 3, 2, 1, 0 }
+
+```
+<img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2170248/55743725-08ad7a80-5a6e-11e9-83ed-126a2b0209fc.JPG" alt="simple mapped" width="50%"/>
+
+For keyboards that use the RGB LEDs as a backlight for each key, you can also define it as in the example below.
+
+```c
+// config.h
+
+#define RGBLED_NUM 30
+
+/* RGB LED Conversion macro from physical array to electric array */
+#define LED_LAYOUT( \
+ L00, L01, L02, L03, L04, L05, \
+ L10, L11, L12, L13, L14, L15, \
+ L20, L21, L22, L23, L24, L25, \
+ L30, L31, L32, L33, L34, L35, \
+ L40, L41, L42, L43, L44, L45 ) \
+ { \
+ L05, L04, L03, L02, L01, L00, \
+ L10, L11, L12, L13, L14, L15, \
+ L25, L24, L23, L22, L21, L20, \
+ L30, L31, L32, L33, L34, L35, \
+ L46, L45, L44, L43, L42, L41 \
+ }
+
+/* RGB LED logical order map */
+/* Top->Bottom, Right->Left */
+#define RGBLIGHT_LED_MAP LED_LAYOUT( \
+ 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, 0, \
+ 26, 21, 16, 11, 6, 1, \
+ 27, 22, 17, 12, 7, 2, \
+ 28, 23, 18, 13, 8, 3, \
+ 29, 24, 19, 14, 9, 4 )
+
+```
+## Clipping Range
+
+Using the `rgblight_set_clipping_range()` function, you can prepare more buffers than the actual number of LEDs, and output some of the buffers to the LEDs. This is useful if you want the split keyboard to treat left and right LEDs as logically contiguous.
+
+You can set the Clipping Range by executing the following code.
+
+```c
+// some soruce
+ rgblight_set_clipping_range(3, 4);
+```
+<img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2170248/55743785-2bd82a00-5a6e-11e9-9d4b-1b4ffaf4932b.JPG" alt="clip direct" width="70%"/>
+
+In addition to setting the Clipping Range, you can use `RGBLIGHT_LED_MAP` together.
+
+```c
+// config.h
+#define RGBLED_NUM 8
+#define RGBLIGHT_LED_MAP { 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 }
+
+// some soruce
+ rgblight_set_clipping_range(3, 4);
+```
+<img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2170248/55743747-119e4c00-5a6e-11e9-91e5-013203ffae8a.JPG" alt="clip mapped" width="70%"/>
