Setting up Unicorne w/ KMK #58

Open mankoff opened 6 months ago

mankoff commented 6 months ago

Hello. I'm trying to get a Unicorne working with KMK. I've had some brief discussions on Discord but thought this might be a better place for technical discussions. I'm not sure what repository to use for this issue, but I think it's a documentation issue.

I've tried both generic CircuitPython + KMK and the boardsource Peg firmware.

If I use generic, everything works for one half, but the split side does nothing. LEDs are on, but nothing beyond that.

If I use boardsource, nothing works at all. No LEDs, no keys.

I'll describe everything I did for each of these options below

Generic

Setup

I use adafruit-circuitpython-boardsource_blok-en_US-9.0.4.uf2 from https://circuitpython.org/board/boardsource_blok/ and flash it to each half.

I clone the latest KMK and copy the kmk sub-folder to each half of the keyboard

gh repo clone KMKfw/kmk_firmware
rsync -ahiu ./kmk_firmware/kmk/ /media/kdm/CIRCUITPY/kmk/

Keymap

kb.py

I'm using the kb.py (same for R and L as far as I can tell) from https://github.com/boardsource/pegBoards/blob/main/keyboards/Boardsource-Unicorne-L/kb.py. I note there are some strange duplicated lines of code here, but it seems to work on the plugged-in side.

main.py

I'm using the following code to try to link the two sides. First the link snippet, then the entire `main.py`. I note that these lines come from the Boardsource Unicorne main.py (again, no difference between L and R) at https://github.com/boardsource/pegBoards/blob/main/keyboards/Boardsource-Unicorne-L/main.py

from kmk.modules.split import Split, SplitSide, SplitType
split = Split(data_pin=keyboard.rx, data_pin2=keyboard.tx, uart_flip=False)
keyboard.modules.append(split)

My entire main.py, which works for the plugged-in side, is:

# TODO Comment one of these on each side
# split_side = SplitSide.RIGHT
# split = Split(split_side = SplitSide.LEFT, use_pio = True)

split = Split(data_pin=keyboard.rx, data_pin2=keyboard.tx, uart_flip=False)
keyboard.modules.append(split)

layers = Layers()

keyboard.modules = [layers, split]

Boardsource

For the Boardsource setup I'm following instructions at https://github.com/boardsource/pegBoards/blob/786e845803e148077e944df3df8604ccce6f7ac2/docs/board-update.md

I use boardsouce_unicorne.uf2 from https://github.com/boardsource/bs-python/releases/tag/v1.9.3 and flash to each half

From https://github.com/boardsource/pegBoards/blob/786e845803e148077e944df3df8604ccce6f7ac2/docs/board-update.md?plain=1#L51-L53 it seems that nothing else is necessary - the keyboard should type just from the firmware?

Unfortunately nothing happens. It appears the firmware works because the RPI-RP2 drive is gone and CIRCUITPY appears (and contains boot_out.txt), but there are no active LEDs on boot-up and no response from key presses.

Trying more stuff, I clone the latest pegeBoards repository and unzip pegBoards/libs/Boardsource-Unicorne-{R,L}.zip to the right and left boards, creating the lib folder there. Still nothing works.

I also tried cloning the latest KMK and copying the kmk sub-folder to each half of the keyboard

gh repo clone KMKfw/kmk_firmware
rsync -ahiu ./kmk_firmware/kmk/ /media/kdm/CIRCUITPY/kmk/

For kb.py and main.py:

Result: No response from the board. No LEDs on boot, and no response to key presses.
