noroadsleft 952a30ef34 handwired/arrow_pad Refactor and Configurator support (#4498)
* handwired/arrow_pad: layout macro and keymap refactor

- Layout macros moved from the keymaps to arrow_pad.h.
- LAYOUT_pad21 refactored to only accept keys that are physical present (no KC_NO entries required in keymap)
- Keymaps now use #include QMK_KEYBOARD_H
- Keymaps refactored to use process_record_user function (from action_get_macro)

* handwired/arrow_pad: Readme cleanup

Fixed the make commands and updated the layout macro.

* handwired/arrow_pad: Configurator support

arrow_pad keyboard firmware
======================
## Keyboard Info
The ArrowPad is a wired conversion that can be made to any stand-alone keypad. It uses two main layers - a standard numpad, and a more advanced arrow cluster navigator.
The first 24-key ArrowPad was handwired, but the PCB was wired as listed below.
```
<Chip Ref Des> pin <Pin #>
<Keycap Name> (Silkscreen Name if different) - <Switch Pin #>
Note:
U2 pin 2 is the Num Lock LED and is active low.

The second ArrowPad was a conversion from a 21-key Genovation keypad. It used a 2 row x 11 column matrix.
```
#define LAYOUT_pad21( \
KM_ESC, KM_TAB, KM_BSL, KM_ARR, \
KM_NUM, KM_FSL, KM_AST, KM_MIN, \
KM___7, KM___8, KM___9, \
KM___4, KM___5, KM___6, KM_PLS, \
KM___1, KM___2, KM___3, \
KM___0, KM_DOT, KM_ENT \
) { \
{ KM_ESC, KM_TAB, KM_BSL, KM_ARR, KM___7, KM___8, KM___9, KM_PLS, KM___1, KM___2, KM___3, }, \
{ KM_NUM, KM_FSL, KM_AST, KM_MIN, KM___4, KM___5, KM___6, KM_ENT, KC_NO, KM___0, KM_DOT, }, \
}
```
## Quantum MK Firmware
For the full Quantum feature list, see [the parent readme.md](/readme.md).
## Building
Download or clone the whole firmware and navigate to the keyboards/arrow_pad folder. Once your dev env is setup, you'll be able to type `make` to generate your .hex - you can then use the Teensy Loader to program your .hex file.
Depending on which keymap you would like to use, you will have to compile slightly differently.
### Default
To build with the default keymap, simply run `make handwired/arrow_pad:default`.
### Other Keymaps
Several version of keymap are available in advance but you are recommended to define your favorite layout yourself. To define your own keymap create file named `<name>.c` in the keymaps folder, and see keymap document (you can find in top readme.md) and existent keymap files.
To build the firmware binary hex file with a keymap just do `make` with a keymap like this:
```
$ make handwired/arrow_pad:[default|pad_21|pad_24|<name>]
```
Keymaps follow the format **__\<name\>.c__** and are stored in the `keymaps` folder.
