- # kinesis_stapelberg keyboard firmware
-
- This folder contains the firmware customization required to run QMK on the custom controller for the Kinesis Advantage created by Michael Stapelberg.
- It differs from the `alvicstep` keyboard in that the existing QMK Kinesis Advantage project uses the existing controller board provided by Kinesis.
-
- The controller board hardware is described
- [here](http://michael.stapelberg.de/Artikel/kinesis_custom_controller)
-
- Mapping the pin assignments was done using the corresponding matrix description provided at this
- [link](https://github.com/stapelberg/kinesis-firmware/blob/master/kb_kinesis/config.kspec)
-
- This code makes no attempt to drive the four LEDs provided on the controller board.
-
-
- ## Building the Hardware
-
- If you want to perform this customization, these parts may be helpful.
-
- | Function | Quantity | Vendor | Part Number |
- | ------------------------------------------------------ | -------- | ------- | ------------ |
- | 13 pin connector for function keys and finger keywells | 4 | Digi-Key | WM14526-ND |
- | 10 pin headers for thumb clusters | 4 | Digi-Key | 609-3250-ND |
- | 8 pin cable for thumb clusters | 2 | Digi-Key | SAM8928-ND |
- | Teensy++ 2.0 | 1 | Digi-Key | 1528-1056-ND |
- | 2 pin right angle header for reset | 1 | Digi-Key | 952-2244-ND |
- | Reset cables | 1 | Digi-Key | PRT-08672-ND |
-
- The board and connections are shown here

-
- The Teensy mounting detail can be seen here.
- I used a socket for prototyping.

-
-
- Since the proper mounting of the Teensy board places the reset button in a tight space, I added a 2-pin header to the reset and ground pins on the edge of the board.
- Shorting these two pins together will reset the board.
- I also put female to male header jumper cables on these so they could be accessed outside the enclosure.
- The exterior cables can be seen here.

- ## Keymaps
-
- ### Default
-
- To build with the default keymap, run `make kinesis/stapelberg` while in the QMK directory.
-
- ### Dvorak
-
- This keymap contains a dvorak implementation as well as media and symbol layers.
-
- Run `make kinesis/stapelberg:dvorak` while in the QMK directory.
