Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
- Build the firmware with `make <keyboardname>:<keymapname>`, for example `make ergodox_ez:default`
make ergodox_ez:default:flash
- This will result in a hex file called `ergodox_ez_keymapname.hex`, e.g.
`ergodox_ez_default.hex`
See the [build environment setup](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_build_tools) and the [make instructions](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_make_guide) for more information. Brand new to QMK? Start with our [Complete Newbs Guide](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/newbs).
- Start the teensy loader.
## Oryx Configuation
- Load the .hex file into it.
If you have `ORYX_CONFIGURATOR` defined in your keymap's `config.h`, this enables a number of the built in options from the Oryx Configurator.
- Press the Reset button by inserting a paperclip gently into the reset hole
in the top right corner.
### Indicator LEDs
- Click the button in the Teensy app to download the firmware.
You can use the `LED_LEVEL` keycode to cycle through the brightness levels for the LEDs on the top right of the keyboard. These settings are saved in eeprom (persistant memory).
See also [video demonstration](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PyiGUO9_KQ) using Teensy in auto mode.
Alternatively, you can set the brightness by calling the following functions:
To flash with ´teensy-loader-cli´:
```c
void ergodox_led_all_set(uint8_t level);
void ergodox_right_led_1_set(uint8_t level);
void ergodox_right_led_2_set(uint8_t level);
void ergodox_right_led_3_set(uint8_t level);
```
- Build the firmware with `make keymapname`, for example `make default`
These settings are not persistent, so you'd need to reset it every time the board starts.
- Run ´<path/to/>teensy_loader_cli -mmcu=atmega32u4 -w ergodox_ez_<keymap>.hex´
These are on a 0-255 scale
- Press the Reset button by inserting a paperclip gently into the reset hole
in the top right corder.
### RGB Matrix Features
## Settings
If you're using the Smart LED (layer indication) feature from the Oryx Configurator, you want to make sure that you enable these options by adding `#define ORYX_CONFIGURATOR` to your keymap's `config.h`.
You may want to enable QMK_KEYS_PER_SCAN because the Ergodox has a relatively
slow scan rate.
This changes the `RGB_TOG` keycode so that it will toggle the lights on and off, in a way that will allow the Smart LEDs to continue to work, even with the rest of the LEDs turned off.
Additionally, a new keycode has been added to toggle the Smart LEDs. Use `TOGGLE_LAYER_COLOR`, if you aren't already.
