# Encoder module Add twist control to your keyboard! Volume, zoom, anything you want This module was mostly built to support basoc functionality of the Adafruit I2C QT Rotary Encoder with NeoPixel ## Enabling the extension The constructor(`i2cEncoderHandler` class) takes a list of encoders, each one defined as a `busio.I2C`, address and optionally a flag set to True if you want it to be reversed. The encoder_map is modeled after the keymap and works the same way. It should have as many layers (key pressed on "turned left", key pressed on "turned right", key pressed on "knob pressed") as your keymap, and use KC.NO keys for layers that you don't require any action. The encoder supports a velocity mode if you desire to make something for video or sound editing. **only dented encoder tested** ## How to use How to use this module in your main / code file you would need to install `adafruit_seesaw` package 1. load the module ```python from kmk.modules.i2c_encoder import i2cEncoderHandler encoder_handler = i2cEncoderHandler() keyboard.modules = [layers, modtap, encoder_handler] ``` 2. Define the i2c for each encoder (i2c, address, True for an inversed encoder) ```python encoder_handler.i2c = ((i2c, 0x36, False), (encoder 2 definition), etc. ) ``` 3. Define the mapping of keys to be called (1 / layer) ```python # You can optionally predefine combo keys as for your layout Zoom_in = KC.LCTRL(KC.EQUAL) Zoom_out = KC.LCTRL(KC.MINUS) encoder_handler.map = [(( KC.VOLD, KC.VOLU, KC.MUTE),(encoder 2 definition), etc. ), # Layer 1 ((KC.Zoom_out, KC.Zoom_in, KC.NO),(encoder 2 definition), etc. ), # Layer 2 ((KC.A, KC.Z, KC.N1),(encoder 2 definition), etc. ), # Layer 3 ((KC.NO, KC.NO, KC.NO),(encoder 2 definition), etc. ), # Layer 4 ] ``` 4. Encoder methods on_move_do and on_button_do can be overwritten for complex use cases ## Full example (with 1 encoder) ```python from kb import KMKKeyboard from kmk.keys import KC from kmk.modules.layers import Layers from kmk.modules.i2c_encoder import i2cEncoderHandler from kmk.extensions.media_keys import MediaKeys import board import busio # Addons ------------------------------------------- # Setup i2c SDA = board.GP0 SCL = board.GP1 i2c = busio.I2C(SCL, SDA) #if i2c.try_lock(): # print("i2c.scan(): " + str(i2c.scan())) #i2c.unlock() # Keyboard # Setup Keyboard keyboard = KMKKeyboard() layers = Layers() encoder_handler = i2cEncoderHandler() keyboard.modules = [ layers, encoder_handler ] keyboard.extensions = [ MediaKeys() ] # keyboard.unicode_mode = UnicodeMode.LINUX keyboard.tap_time = 250 keyboard.debug_enabled = False # Encoder # Setup Encoder @ address 0x36 encoder_handler.i2c = ((i2c, 0x36, False),) # Rotary Encoder (1 encoder / 1 definition per layer) encoder_handler.map = [ ((KC.VOLD, KC.VOLU, KC.MPLY),), # Default ((KC.PGDN, KC.PGDN, KC.END),), # Function ] # Trackball # Setup trackball @ address 0xA # Keymap _______ = KC.TRNS XXXXXXX = KC.NO keyboard.keymap = [ [ # Default KC.ESC, KC.N1, KC.N2, KC.N3, KC.N4, KC.N5, KC.N6, KC.N7, KC.N8, KC.N9, KC.N0, KC.MINS, KC.EQL, KC.BSPC, XXXXXXX, KC.TAB, KC.Q, KC.W, KC.E, KC.R, KC.T, KC.Y, KC.U, KC.I, KC.O, KC.P, KC.LBRC, KC.RBRC, XXXXXXX, KC.PGUP, KC.CAPS, KC.A, KC.S, KC.D, KC.F, KC.G, KC.H, KC.J, KC.K, KC.L, KC.SCLN, KC.QUOT, KC.NUHS, KC.ENTER, KC.PGDN, KC.LSFT, KC.NUBS, KC.Z, KC.X, KC.C, KC.V, KC.B, KC.N, KC.M, KC.COMM, KC.DOT, KC.SLSH, KC.RSFT, XXXXXXX, KC.DEL, KC.LCTL, KC.LGUI, KC.LALT, XXXXXXX, KC.MO(1), XXXXXXX, KC.SPC, XXXXXXX, KC.MO(1), KC.RALT, KC.RCTL, KC.LEFT, KC.DOWN, KC.UP, KC.RIGHT, ], [ # Function KC.GRV, KC.F1, KC.F2, KC.F3, KC.F4, KC.F5, KC.F6, KC.F7, KC.F8, KC.F9, KC.F10, KC.F11, KC.F12, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, KC.PSCR, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, KC.PAUSE, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, _______, KC.INSERT, _______, _______, _______, XXXXXXX, _______, XXXXXXX, _______, XXXXXXX, _______, _______, _______, KC.HOME, KC.PGDN, KC.PGUP, KC.END, ] ] # ------------------------------------------------------------- Main logic ------------------------------------------- if __name__ == "__main__": keyboard.go()
