kmk_firmware VS miryoku_qmk

plenty.. try their zulip and you will see(https://kmkfw.zulipchat.com/).. also google may help... plenty of youtube pushers also will provide you the info...

Im not really sure where the problem would be. Try to flash the example firmware from the official kmk github and see if that works for you. If it doesn't then there may be a problem with the hardware 🤔 https://github.com/KMKfw/kmk_firmware/tree/master/boards/reviung41

You'll need to copy the following onto storage device: 1. CircuitPython files/binaries for controller, if not present 2. kmk folder from KMK firmware. github, if not present. 3. kb.py and main.py files for your board. Pre-configured boards can be found in KMK firmware github in boards directory.

I'll try to set it up locally and will otherwise contact... Got time over Easter. Thx a lot. I also have seen that piantor for KMK has an open pull request which means the board dev will soon be ready for workflow builds of Miryoku. https://github.com/KMKfw/kmk_firmware/pull/723 I like KMK a bit more as it will allow me to quickly change the extra keys to whatever makes sense .... All just with s simple text editor.

Here's a pull request to add piantor board to KMK firmware. The logic to define config for left and right halves is actually really nice.

There's a recent pull request to add the Piantor to KMK, and that's a split 42 key that uses the pico with direct pins to keys: https://github.com/KMKfw/kmk_firmware/pull/723

See above. I set this up some time ago; the one I am using is pretty much the demo one from the KMK github.

I've uploaded these files to github here if you wish to look around but I recommend also looking through the various boards in the kmk github as well for more guidance too. This was my first kmk based keyboard so my code might not be the best lol but I hope this is helpful regardless. Let me know if you have any questions!

From what I understand this is enabled by default in Miryoku? Looking at this file: https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku_qmk/blob/miryoku/users/manna-harbour_miryoku/config.h

The qmk firmware is definitely what you want

Piantor is supported by Miryoku QMK in QMK master, so you can build it directly from there. However community layout support is missing in the older version of piantor in the miryoku branch, and the workflow merge feature is currently broken, so I can't run a workflow build at the moment, but here's one from earlier: https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku_qmk/actions/runs/3943408991

Here's a build run for crkbd on pro-micro with default options: https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku_qmk/actions/runs/4591161307. The artifact is here: https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku_qmk/suites/11977156021/artifacts/628488034.

Crowboard is supported in Miryoku KMK. Support will be added to Miryoku QMK on request. Via / Vial is not supported by Miryoku QMK but you should be able to enable it manually. Colemak Mod-DH is the default alpha arrangement for all Miryoku implementations.

You would need to read the part about substitution of layer here. You would need to copy your base layer from the miryoku_layers_alternatives.h and just change the button codes in the homerow and on the thumb keys. Should be pretty easily done.

Here's a default build for Corne. Flash that to both sides with QMK Toolbox. It'll start on Base which is Colemak Mod-DH by default. Hold the right hand home thumb and double tap the right hand top row middle finger key. That will switch to Extra, which is QWERTY by default. The double tap needs to be quite fast (within 200ms by default). You can use any thumb on either hand, so long as the double tap is on the same hand as the thumb hold.

My layout is essentially a slightly modified version of the already established Miryoku layout. My thumb key dual functions are unchanged from his layout. Since it is QMK/ZMK, anything configuration is possible so if you want to change which key activated which kayer, it can be changed. For me, I like the default becuase space/nav and backspace/num is really natural for me. One of my next build is gonna be a Ferris so I'm gonna move some things around but as long as my space and backspace keys are where my thumbs naturally rest, it should hw fine.
