sofle_rgb_keyhive

demure's Sofle RGB keyhive Keyboard Configuration

Background

Sofle is 6×4+5 keys column-staggered split keyboard. Based on Lily58, Corne and Helix keyboards.

More details about the keyboard from the creator's blog: Let me introduce you SofleKeyboard - a split keyboard based on Lily58 and Crkbd

demure's changes:

• Tab in row two (Cause that's what I'm used to)
• Escape in row three, as I'm used to changing caps lock to Esc
• Top right key on right side (above Backspace) is a back slash, cause I live in shells
• No via support, as that limits you to four layers, killing the adjust layer...
• An adjust layer
• An emergency mouse mode layer
• A 'game' layer that adds in arrow keys
• Modify encoder action by holding shift
• My own logo
• Per layer led patterns

TODO/Maybes:

• Add Underlines to oled info?
  • Looks like it may not be possible with font coding
• Maybe replace right encoder with a pimoroni trackball module?

Flashing

Rather than maintain a full QMK repo, I symlink this repo into the qmk_firmware/keyboards dir. See here for the qmk_firmware.

## inside qmk_firmware/keyboards dir
ln -s ~/path/to/soflergb_repo .

Flash using the correct command below:

# for pro micro-based builds
qmk flash -kb soflergb/rev1 -km soflergb -bl avrdude-split-left
qmk flash -kb soflergb/rev1 -km soflergb -bl avrdude-split-right

# for Elite C or dfu bootloader builds
qmk flash -kb soflergb/rev1 -km soflergb -bl dfu-split-left
qmk flash -kb soflergb/rev1 -km soflergb -bl dfu-split-right

These commands can be mixed if, for example, you have an Elite C on the left and a pro micro on the right.
