Controller Versions Save

Release Notes

[IC60, IC60Led, K-Type, Infinity Ergodox, WhiteFox, Kira, Gemini] - Increase scanning period to help with debouncing older switches

Release Notes

• [ISSILed, Kira, Gemini] - Use fast I2C for short register writes and slow I2C for long register writes, improves noise rejection causing the ISSI chips to enter software shutdown during I2C operations.
• [ISSILed] - Significant flicker cleanup for Kira and Gemini (HID-IO exposed a lot of issues)
• [ISSILed] - Revamped initialization code for Kira and Gemini LEDs should be more resistant to working after flashing now
• [Kira] - Added releaseUSBKey capability, media keys should work better now inside function layers.
• [ISSLed] - Removed redundant LED reset code (faster LED power on)
• [Gemini] - Fix RGUI remap issue in configurator (hopefully)
• [KLL] - Fixed layer highlighting bug when index 0 isn't used as a layer
• [Infinity Ergodox] - LCD transitions use layer triggers instead of key actions (should fix most/all issues)
• [K-Type, Gemini] - Add increasing port swap delay to help computers with slow USB detection (i.e. Windows)
• [HID-IO] - Removed CDC Virtual Serial Port and initial HID-IO support for SAM4S

Capability Changes

• Added releaseUSBKey(usbCode) which will release specified usb key, if key is not held, nothing will happen

Release Notes

• [HID-IO] General fixes
• [HID-IO] Preliminary UTF-8 support
• [K-Type, WhiteFox, Infinity Ergodox] Enable HID-IO by default
  • More testing is needed for Kira (SAM4S based) and IC60 (mk20dx128vlf5 based)
• [Kinetis] Fixed bootloader watchdog
• [KInetis] Watchdog support at a similar level to SAM4S
• [Infinity Ergodox] Fixed bootloader LCD screen color
• [Gemini Dusk/Dawn, Kira] Enabling layer inversion by default (easier to see keys assigned to a layer)
• [Gemini Dusk/Dawn] Fixed port swap on SAM4S
• [HID-IO] Fixed unit tests for HID-IO
• [KLL] No longer erroring by default if old/incompatible file versions are detected
  • Print the error, but still attempt to fully compile the firmware

Capability Changes

• N/A

refs/tags/v0.5.5 Thu Mar 21 23:19:12 2019 -0700 v0.5.5-controller [email protected]

Release Notes

• [LED] Fixed V:reset key to reset animation speed
• [USB] Major fixes for media keys for all OSs
  • Some known issues left in some cases for Linux/Ubuntu on Kira, please bind media keys directly to a key for now
• [Kira] Fixed, static rotating animations can now be stack-saved (key color + underglow color) to NVM storage
• [LED] Fade profile brightness control
  • Brightness can be controlled per-group (keys, underglow, indicators, layer highlight)
• [K-Type] Fixed 2nd USB Type C port not working
• [Infinity Ergodox] Fixed 2nd hand not working
• [Kira] When selecting single color animations, starting animations should no longer flash wildly (if they are, you'll need to fix your starting animation settings)
• [K-Type, WhiteFox, Infinity Ergodox] LEDs starting at 0 brightness fixed
• [USB] Power management keys should now be working on Windows/Linux/macOS
• [KLL] Added clearLayers capability that can reset layer ordering to defaults
• [KLL] Compiler now requires minimum set version of KLL variable for configurations
  • If the version is not high enough there will be a compiler error with a message describing what has changed, and what will be required to update to the latest version
• [KLL] Some early code to handle true UTF-8 HID-IO packets

Capability Changes

• Added clearLayers (resets layer stack)
• Added fade_control (https://github.com/kiibohd/controller/commit/ae7bf0b711dfba5e77451cd2f269032f929a8657)
• Fixed behaviour of animation_control(7) to clear correctly
• Added more ledControl options (https://github.com/kiibohd/controller/commit/2f081747ce4052b77006d335de0b9ddcfa2d2dc1)

refs/tags/v0.5.5-beta Sat Mar 16 22:54:37 2019 -0700 v0.5.5-beta-controller [email protected]

Beta release of v0.5.5. See https://github.com/kiibohd/controller/milestone/4?closed=1 for list of fixes.

refs/tags/v0.5.4 Sun Feb 3 17:11:23 2019 -0800 v0.5.4-controller [email protected]

Release Notes

• [Kira] Fixed save/load/defaults keys
• [Kira] Added channel and pixel increment/decrement using ledTest (useful in isolating buzzing LEDs/LED channels)
• [Kira] Animation speed changing no longer causes keyboard to crash
• [Kira] Fixed (for good?) RCtrl and RShift being held after entering flash mode
  • This requires the running firmware to be at least v0.5.4, so flashing this firmware the first time will still have this problem
• [Kira] Fixed USB compliance
• [Kira] Swapped priority of I2C and USB interrupts to give I2C more time to process
  • This fixes the random flickering problems
• Added USB error counter (available in cli)
• Fixed lock LEDs not reliably activating on some computers

Capability Changes

• Added support for clearactive replace state for animations (only clears non-paused animations, useful for static color saving)
• Added ledTest capability
