  • Check out and read into this link... https://github.com/thompson-vii/kb16_rev2_vial_fw You'll want to download all the files and refer to v2 version of the firmware. There's a readme file in there, but tl;dr you wanna install the firmware using QMK.

  • 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.

  • This firmware update will make it compatible with open source software called Vial... https://get.vial.today/

  • qmk_toolbox

    A Toolbox companion for QMK Firmware

  • I got things working by using the https://github.com/qmk/qmk_toolbox project, and the firmware file you linked. As you said, my pad now works with Vial, and has 12 layers. Though the layer selector still only traverses between layers 0 through 3.
