Has anyone tried making a raspberry pico keyboard with the kmk software
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...
- Bluetooth module for a keyboard, but easy-to-solder

CircuitPython keyboard flash
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

KMK split firmware procedure
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.

Is there pre-compiled firmware for miryoku for piantor with weact?
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.

Need help with KMK and split keyboard
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.

KMK split with direct pin on a pi pico ?
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

Porting to Boardsource's Peg re-mapping tool (scuffed write-up and review)
See above. I set this up some time ago; the one I am using is pretty much the demo one from the KMK github.

anyone knows a handwired split keyboard with two Xiao 2040 running kmk and connected via trrs/trs cables?
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!

Not an iPad Pro Review: Why iPadOS Still Doesn't Get the Basics Right
I definitely think you should be able to add keyboard layouts at a software level on iPadOS and iOS, but one possible solution to the problem right now is using a programmable keyboard using QMK [1], ZMK [2], or some other open-source firmware. There's even a usb-usb converter [3] that will convert keystrokes from any keyboard into ones that you map using TMK or QMK, so you can use your own.

ZMK + Cirque trackpad?
I saw this same question was posted half a year ago and was wondering if anyone knew of any updates. Looks like this development branch of ZMK is stalled.

Nice!view not working when leds are turned on?
Not sure which information you mean, but here goes. Nice!Nano v2 Pinout (shows Arduino pin mapping). Nice!View Getting Started (explains how to remap the CS pin for a non-native shield like Corne). The overlay file where "cs-gpios" is set for the nice_view_adapter in ZMK. If you look at the Corne Schematic, you'll see as shown in the labels in this image that the bottom two pins (B2, B4, B5, B6) don't appear to be used for a column, row, or the OLED header. But the only way to really verify is to pull the KiCAD file for your Corne version and check yourself. I think D0 ("Data") should work. It appears to go to an optional I2C connection.

Steps for troubleshooting a new build Corne? (First timer)
if you built the firmware using the corne shield that might be the issue. the splitkb aurora corne has a different pinout.

Options for Chocofi keyboard
Depending on a controller you will be programming features of your keyboard using QMK or ZMK (there are alternatives but these two are the most popular). You can check documentation of these tools regarding display but some nice sum up is in the related article on splitkb: https://docs.splitkb.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010533820-What-can-you-use-an-OLED-display-for-

Addicted to moonlander but in need of something more portable
corne-ish zen, the group buy is long over but there is an extras round coming up. I suggest going on the discord if you're interested in knowing when they'll be available for sale. it is a prebuilt so you can just buy it whole and have it ready to use out of the box and runs on ZMK.

Any new Ploopies? :-)
I would be pretty interested in a wireless Ploopy. Especially if it runs ZMK since that is what I currently use for a split keyboard. It would be pretty awesome to link the macros and layers between my keyboard and mouse if the mouse could be a second peripheral "half" of the keyboard. Admittedly, ZMK's mouse support is still kinda beta, but the wireless support is amazing.

What's a very simple config change that you can't live without?
The other firmware I wrote for my wireless programable keyboard based on ZMK.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing kmk_firmware and zmk you can also consider the following projects:
qmk_firmware - Open-source keyboard firmware for Atmel AVR and Arm USB families
qmk - My fork of QMK firmware with nrf5x support (see project wiki)
Adafruit_CircuitPython_SSD1306 - Adafruit CircuitPython framebuf driver for SSD1306 or SSD1305 OLED displays. Not for use with displayio. See README.
MicroPython - MicroPython - a lean and efficient Python implementation for microcontrollers and constrained systems
vial-gui - Vial is an open-source cross-platform (Windows, Linux and Mac) GUI and a QMK fork for configuring your keyboard in real time.
