Mention incompatible Keyhive RGB fork in the documentation #105

Closed josefadamcik closed 3 years ago

josefadamcik commented 3 years ago

I have just learned that Keyhive is selling a modified version of Sofle RGB. Apparently they forked the design and changed the PCB to be non-reversible, it's apparent on the image from their build guide: https://github.com/keyhive/build_guides/blob/master/docs/images/sofle-rgb/LED_order%5B1%5D.png

The way how they did that makes firmware incompatible with the version in this repository and may cause other confusion.

I will add:

Maybe somewhere else, I'll think about it.

@DaneEvans maybe you already know about this, just making sure you are aware. I'll update the doucumentations etc.

Thanks, I saw that it existed at some point I think when I was making the V2, but I didn't go looking into their pinout to check the compatibility.

It's definitely worth mentioning, given that the same search strings will end up in both places.

I will add:

  • disclaimer to the RGB build guide and link to their build guide
  • mention the version on the HP (again with disclaimer).

Maybe somewhere else, I'll think about it.
