Detailed instruction on modifying layout

[albert-ying]

Hi, I would like to change the FN layout. I've downloaded the firmware, and the IDE/compiler shown on the website F&Q. However, it is still unclear to me how I can change the layout and save it to the keyboard.

Is there more detailed instruction available that I can follow? Thank you so much!

To change the FN layout, you need to edit the matrixFn array in KeyboardCommon.c:
https://github.com/esrille/new-keyboard/blob/master/firmware/src/KeyboardCommon.c#L95-L105
You can assign a key combination of up to three keys to each key.

We use HIDBootloader provided by Microchip to update the firmware.
Please refer to the bottom of the "Downloads" page for the instruction:

Hi Albert,

There are two steps to customize the firmware. One is at the above link -- download the appropriate version of HIDBootloader as explained. The other step is here: https://www.esrille.com/keyboard/faq.html
(Get the IDE in order to compile the project files into a new firmware file)

I made a spreadsheet that has the keyboard's visual layout but then also generates the text of the array (to modify in KeyboardCommon.c per the dev instructions). In case you hadn't figured it out already, I've attached it. If there are different key codes you want to put in the FN layer, please refer to keyboard.h .
