# LED (Mono color backlight) Want your keyboard to shine? Add some lights! ## Enabling the extension The only required values that you need to give the LED extension would be the `led_pin`. It can either be a single board pin, or a list of pins for multiple LED's. ```python from kmk.extensions.LED import LED import board led_ext = LED(led_pin=[board.GP0, board.GP1]) keyboard.extensions.append(led_ext) ``` ## [Keycodes] |Key |Aliases |Description | |-----------------------------|-------------------|----------------------------| |`KC.LED_TOG()` | |Toggles LED's | |`KC.LED_INC()` | |Increase Brightness | |`KC.LED_DEC()` | |Decrease Brightness | |`KC.LED_SET()` | |Set Brightness | |`KC.LED_ANI` | |Increase animation speed | |`KC.LED_AND` | |Decrease animation speed | |`KC.LED_MODE_PLAIN` |`LED_M_P` |Static LED's | |`KC.LED_MODE_BREATHE` |`LED_M_B` |Breathing animation | Keycodes with arguments can affect all, or a selection of LED's. ```python # toggle all LEDs LED_TOG_ALL = KC.LED_TOG() # increase brightness of first LED LED_INC_0 = KC.LED_INC(0) # decrease brightness of second and third LED LED_DEC_1_2 = KC.LED_DEC(1,2) ``` ## Configuration All of these values can be set by default for when the keyboard boots. ```python from kmk.extensions.led import AnimationModes led_ext = LED( led_pin=led_pin, brightness=100, brightness_step=5, brightness_limit=100, breathe_center=1.5, animation_mode=AnimationModes.STATIC, animation_speed=1, user_animation=None, val=100, ) ```
