RGB Matrix Lighting :id=rgb-matrix-lighting

This feature allows you to use RGB LED matrices driven by external drivers. It hooks into the RGBLIGHT system so you can use the same keycodes as RGBLIGHT to control it.

If you want to use single color LED's you should use the LED Matrix Subsystem instead.

Driver configuration :id=driver-configuration

IS31FL3731 :id=is31fl3731

There is basic support for addressable RGB matrix lighting with the I2C IS31FL3731 RGB controller. To enable it, add this to your rules.mk:

RGB_MATRIX_ENABLE = yes
RGB_MATRIX_DRIVER = IS31FL3731

Configure the hardware via your config.h:

// This is a 7-bit address, that gets left-shifted and bit 0
// set to 0 for write, 1 for read (as per I2C protocol)
// The address will vary depending on your wiring:
// 0b1110100 AD <-> GND
// 0b1110111 AD <-> VCC
// 0b1110101 AD <-> SCL
// 0b1110110 AD <-> SDA
#define DRIVER_ADDR_1 0b1110100
#define DRIVER_ADDR_2 0b1110110

#define DRIVER_COUNT 2
#define DRIVER_1_LED_TOTAL 25
#define DRIVER_2_LED_TOTAL 24
#define DRIVER_LED_TOTAL (DRIVER_1_LED_TOTAL + DRIVER_2_LED_TOTAL)

!> Note the parentheses, this is so when DRIVER_LED_TOTAL is used in code and expanded, the values are added together before any additional math is applied to them. As an example, rand() % (DRIVER_1_LED_TOTAL + DRIVER_2_LED_TOTAL) will give very different results than rand() % DRIVER_1_LED_TOTAL + DRIVER_2_LED_TOTAL.

Currently only 2 drivers are supported, but it would be trivial to support all 4 combinations.

Define these arrays listing all the LEDs in your <keyboard>.c:

const is31_led g_is31_leds[DRIVER_LED_TOTAL] = {
/* Refer to IS31 manual for these locations
 *   driver
 *   |  R location
 *   |  |      G location
 *   |  |      |      B location
 *   |  |      |      | */
    {0, C1_3,  C2_3,  C3_3},
    ....
}

Where Cx_y is the location of the LED in the matrix defined by the datasheet and the header file drivers/issi/is31fl3731.h. The driver is the index of the driver you defined in your config.h (0 or 1 right now).

IS31FL3733/IS31FL3737 :id=is31fl3733is31fl3737

!> For the IS31FL3737, replace all instances of IS31FL3733 below with IS31FL3737.

There is basic support for addressable RGB matrix lighting with the I2C IS31FL3733 RGB controller. To enable it, add this to your rules.mk:

RGB_MATRIX_ENABLE = yes
RGB_MATRIX_DRIVER = IS31FL3733

Configure the hardware via your config.h:

// This is a 7-bit address, that gets left-shifted and bit 0
// set to 0 for write, 1 for read (as per I2C protocol)
// The address will vary depending on your wiring:
// 00 <-> GND
// 01 <-> SCL
// 10 <-> SDA
// 11 <-> VCC
// ADDR1 represents A1:A0 of the 7-bit address.
// ADDR2 represents A3:A2 of the 7-bit address.
// The result is: 0b101(ADDR2)(ADDR1)
#define DRIVER_ADDR_1 0b1010000
#define DRIVER_ADDR_2 0b1010000 // this is here for compliancy reasons.

#define DRIVER_COUNT 2
#define DRIVER_1_LED_TOTAL 64
#define DRIVER_LED_TOTAL DRIVER_1_LED_TOTAL

Currently only a single drivers is supported, but it would be trivial to support all 4 combinations. For now define DRIVER_ADDR_2 as DRIVER_ADDR_1

Define these arrays listing all the LEDs in your <keyboard>.c:

const is31_led g_is31_leds[DRIVER_LED_TOTAL] = {
/* Refer to IS31 manual for these locations
 *   driver
 *   |  R location
 *   |  |       G location
 *   |  |       |       B location
 *   |  |       |       | */
    {0, B_1,    A_1,    C_1},
    ....
}

Where X_Y is the location of the LED in the matrix defined by the datasheet and the header file drivers/issi/is31fl3733.h. The driver is the index of the driver you defined in your config.h (Only 0 right now).

WS2812 :id=ws2812

There is basic support for addressable RGB matrix lighting with a WS2811/WS2812{a,b,c} addressable LED strand. To enable it, add this to your rules.mk:

RGB_MATRIX_ENABLE = yes
RGB_MATRIX_DRIVER = WS2812

Configure the hardware via your config.h:

// The pin connected to the data pin of the LEDs
#define RGB_DI_PIN D7
// The number of LEDs connected
#define DRIVER_LED_TOTAL 70

APA102 :id=apa102

There is basic support for APA102 based addressable LED strands. To enable it, add this to your rules.mk:

RGB_MATRIX_ENABLE = yes
RGB_MATRIX_DRIVER = APA102

Configure the hardware via your config.h:

// The pin connected to the data pin of the LEDs
#define RGB_DI_PIN D7
// The pin connected to the clock pin of the LEDs
#define RGB_CI_PIN D6
// The number of LEDs connected
#define DRIVER_LED_TOTAL 70

From this point forward the configuration is the same for all the drivers. The led_config_t struct provides a key electrical matrix to led index lookup table, what the physical position of each LED is on the board, and what type of key or usage the LED if the LED represents. Here is a brief example:

led_config_t g_led_config = { {
  // Key Matrix to LED Index
  {   5, NO_LED, NO_LED,   0 },
  { NO_LED, NO_LED, NO_LED, NO_LED },
  {   4, NO_LED, NO_LED,   1 },
  {   3, NO_LED, NO_LED,   2 }
}, {
  // LED Index to Physical Position
  { 188,  16 }, { 187,  48 }, { 149,  64 }, { 112,  64 }, {  37,  48 }, {  38,  16 }
}, {
  // LED Index to Flag
  1, 4, 4, 4, 4, 1
} };

The first part, // Key Matrix to LED Index, tells the system what key this LED represents by using the key's electrical matrix row & col. The second part, // LED Index to Physical Position represents the LED's physical { x, y } position on the keyboard. The default expected range of values for { x, y } is the inclusive range { 0..224, 0..64 }. This default expected range is due to effects that calculate the center of the keyboard for their animations. The easiest way to calculate these positions is imagine your keyboard is a grid, and the top left of the keyboard represents { x, y } coordinate { 0, 0 } and the bottom right of your keyboard represents { 224, 64 }. Using this as a basis, you can use the following formula to calculate the physical position:

x = 224 / (NUMBER_OF_COLS - 1) * COL_POSITION
y =  64 / (NUMBER_OF_ROWS - 1) * ROW_POSITION

Where NUMBER_OF_COLS, NUMBER_OF_ROWS, COL_POSITION, & ROW_POSITION are all based on the physical layout of your keyboard, not the electrical layout.

As mentioned earlier, the center of the keyboard by default is expected to be { 112, 32 }, but this can be changed if you want to more accurately calculate the LED's physical { x, y } positions. Keyboard designers can implement #define RGB_MATRIX_CENTER { 112, 32 } in their config.h file with the new center point of the keyboard, or where they want it to be allowing more possibilities for the { x, y } values. Do note that the maximum value for x or y is 255, and the recommended maximum is 224 as this gives animations runoff room before they reset.

// LED Index to Flag is a bitmask, whether or not a certain LEDs is of a certain type. It is recommended that LEDs are set to only 1 type.

Flags :id=flags

Define	Value	Description
`HAS_FLAGS(bits, flags)`	n/a	Evaluates to `true` if `bits` has all `flags` set
`HAS_ANY_FLAGS(bits, flags)`	n/a	Evaluates to `true` if `bits` has any `flags` set
`LED_FLAG_NONE`	`0x00`	If this LED has no flags
`LED_FLAG_ALL`	`0xFF`	If this LED has all flags
`LED_FLAG_MODIFIER`	`0x01`	If the LED is on a modifier key
`LED_FLAG_UNDERGLOW`	`0x02`	If the LED is for underglow
`LED_FLAG_KEYLIGHT`	`0x04`	If the LED is for key backlight
`LED_FLAG_INDICATOR`	`0x08`	If the LED is for keyboard state indication

Keycodes :id=keycodes

All RGB keycodes are currently shared with the RGBLIGHT system:

Key	Aliases	Description
`RGB_TOG`		Toggle RGB lighting on or off
`RGB_MODE_FORWARD`	`RGB_MOD`	Cycle through modes, reverse direction when Shift is held
`RGB_MODE_REVERSE`	`RGB_RMOD`	Cycle through modes in reverse, forward direction when Shift is held
`RGB_HUI`		Increase hue, decrease hue when Shift is held
`RGB_HUD`		Decrease hue, increase hue when Shift is held
`RGB_SAI`		Increase saturation, decrease saturation when Shift is held
`RGB_SAD`		Decrease saturation, increase saturation when Shift is held
`RGB_VAI`		Increase value (brightness), decrease value when Shift is held
`RGB_VAD`		Decrease value (brightness), increase value when Shift is held
`RGB_SPI`		Increase effect speed (does not support eeprom yet), decrease speed when Shift is held
`RGB_SPD`		Decrease effect speed (does not support eeprom yet), increase speed when Shift is held
`RGB_MODE_PLAIN`	`RGB_M_P`	Static (no animation) mode
`RGB_MODE_BREATHE`	`RGB_M_B`	Breathing animation mode
`RGB_MODE_RAINBOW`	`RGB_M_R`	Full gradient scrolling left to right (uses the `RGB_MATRIX_CYCLE_LEFT_RIGHT` mode)
`RGB_MODE_SWIRL`	`RGB_M_SW`	Full gradient spinning pinwheel around center of keyboard (uses `RGB_MATRIX_CYCLE_PINWHEEL` mode)

RGB_MODE_* keycodes will generally work, but not all of the modes are currently mapped to the correct effects for the RGB Matrix system.

RGB_MODE_PLAIN, RGB_MODE_BREATHE, RGB_MODE_RAINBOW, and RGB_MATRIX_SWIRL are the only ones that are mapped properly. The rest don't have a direct equivalent, and are not mapped.

!> By default, if you have both the RGB Light and the RGB Matrix feature enabled, these keycodes will work for both features, at the same time. You can disable the keycode functionality by defining the *_DISABLE_KEYCODES option for the specific feature.

RGB Matrix Effect Typing Heatmap :id=rgb-matrix-effect-typing-heatmap

This effect will color the RGB matrix according to a heatmap of recently pressed keys. Whenever a key is pressed its "temperature" increases as well as that of its neighboring keys. The temperature of each key is then decreased automatically every 25 milliseconds by default.

In order to change the delay of temperature decrease define RGB_MATRIX_TYPING_HEATMAP_DECREASE_DELAY_MS:

#define RGB_MATRIX_TYPING_HEATMAP_DECREASE_DELAY_MS 50

Custom RGB Matrix Effects :id=custom-rgb-matrix-effects

By setting RGB_MATRIX_CUSTOM_USER (and/or RGB_MATRIX_CUSTOM_KB) in rules.mk, new effects can be defined directly from userspace, without having to edit any QMK core files.

To declare new effects, create a new rgb_matrix_user/kb.inc that looks something like this:

rgb_matrix_user.inc should go in the root of the keymap directory. rgb_matrix_kb.inc should go in the root of the keyboard directory.

To use custom effects in your code, simply prepend RGB_MATRIX_CUSTOM_ to the effect name specified in RGB_MATRIX_EFFECT(). For example, an effect declared as RGB_MATRIX_EFFECT(my_cool_effect) would be referenced with:

rgb_matrix_mode(RGB_MATRIX_CUSTOM_my_cool_effect);

// !!! DO NOT ADD #pragma once !!! //

// Step 1.
// Declare custom effects using the RGB_MATRIX_EFFECT macro
// (note the lack of semicolon after the macro!)
RGB_MATRIX_EFFECT(my_cool_effect)
RGB_MATRIX_EFFECT(my_cool_effect2)

// Step 2.
// Define effects inside the `RGB_MATRIX_CUSTOM_EFFECT_IMPLS` ifdef block
#ifdef RGB_MATRIX_CUSTOM_EFFECT_IMPLS

// e.g: A simple effect, self-contained within a single method
static bool my_cool_effect(effect_params_t* params) {
  RGB_MATRIX_USE_LIMITS(led_min, led_max);
  for (uint8_t i = led_min; i < led_max; i++) {
    rgb_matrix_set_color(i, 0xff, 0xff, 0x00);
  }
  return led_max < DRIVER_LED_TOTAL;
}

// e.g: A more complex effect, relying on external methods and state, with
// dedicated init and run methods
static uint8_t some_global_state;
static void my_cool_effect2_complex_init(effect_params_t* params) {
  some_global_state = 1;
}
static bool my_cool_effect2_complex_run(effect_params_t* params) {
  RGB_MATRIX_USE_LIMITS(led_min, led_max);
  for (uint8_t i = led_min; i < led_max; i++) {
    rgb_matrix_set_color(i, 0xff, some_global_state++, 0xff);
  }

  return led_max < DRIVER_LED_TOTAL;
}
static bool my_cool_effect2(effect_params_t* params) {
  if (params->init) my_cool_effect2_complex_init(params);
  return my_cool_effect2_complex_run(params);
}

Callbacks :id=callbacks

Indicators :id=indicators

If you want to set custom indicators, such as an LED for Caps Lock, or layer indication, you can use the rgb_matrix_indicators_kb or rgb_matrix_indicators_user function for that:

void rgb_matrix_indicators_kb(void) {
    rgb_matrix_set_color(index, red, green, blue);
}

In addition, there are the advanced indicator functions. These are aimed at those with heavily customized displays, where rendering every LED per cycle is expensive. Such as some of the "drashna" layouts. This includes a special macro to help make this easier to use: RGB_MATRIX_INDICATOR_SET_COLOR(i, r, g, b).

void rgb_matrix_indicators_advanced_user(uint8_t led_min, uint8_t led_max) {
    RGB_MATRIX_INDICATOR_SET_COLOR(index, red, green, blue);
}

Suspended state :id=suspended-state

To use the suspend feature, make sure that #define RGB_DISABLE_WHEN_USB_SUSPENDED true is added to the config.h file.

Additionally add this to your <keyboard>.c:

void suspend_power_down_kb(void) {
    rgb_matrix_set_suspend_state(true);
    suspend_power_down_user();
}

void suspend_wakeup_init_kb(void) {
    rgb_matrix_set_suspend_state(false);
    suspend_wakeup_init_user();
}

or add this to your keymap.c:

void suspend_power_down_user(void) {
    rgb_matrix_set_suspend_state(true);
}

void suspend_wakeup_init_user(void) {
    rgb_matrix_set_suspend_state(false);
}
