Keymap for Sentraq S60-X keyboard

Sentraq S60-X Keyboard Keymap

This is my keymap layout for the Sentraq S60-X keyboard. It requires the QMK Firmware.

Keyboard

Sentraq S60-X is a fully programmable DIY keyboard kit sold here: https://sentraq.com/collections/kits/products/s60-x-diy-keyboard-kit

Keymap

This keymap is loosely based on Pok3r, but with a single Fn-layer and the Pn key replaced with a second Fn key. This keymap supports RGB features of S60-X. In fact, the RGB control keys are left untouched. For convenience there are two Fn keys: on the left and right sides. The rest of the keymap is simple: Fn+HJKL are mapped to arrow keys, Fn+A/E - home/end, Fn+D/U - page down/up, Shift+Esc - tilde, Fn+Esc - grave character. Some keys are missing (such as scroll lock) because I don't need them.

The visual representation of the keymap can be viewed on keyboard-layout-editor.com.

How to build and flash this keymap firmware

These are the steps to compile and flash this keymap. It assumes that you have a Linux distro and basic development tools.

0. Install prerequisites:

   • gcc-avr (avr-gcc on Fedora)
   • avr-libc

1. Clone the QMK Firmware repository:

    $ git clone --recursive https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware.git
   

2. Clone this repository into keyboards/s60_x/keymaps sub-directory:

    $ cd qmk_firmware/keyboards/s60_x/keymaps
    $ git clone https://github.com/alexeiz/qmk-s60x-keymap.git my_layout
   

3. Build all firmwares for S60-X including this keymap layout with RGB support:

    $ cd qmk_firmware/keyboards/s60_x
    $ SKIP_GIT=1 make rgb
   

   • Result: s60_x_rgb_my_layout.hex firmware file in the root qmk_firmware directory

4. Flash the firmware (you need the dnf-programmer tool):

• Build and install the dfu-programmer tool (https://github.com/dfu-programmer/dfu-programmer).

• Press and hold the reset button on the back of the keyboard for several seconds to put the keyboard into the flashing mode.

• Erase, flash the firmware and restart the keyboard:

  $ cd qmk_firmware
  $ sudo dfu-programmer atmega32u4 erase
  $ sudo dfu-programmer atmega32u4 flash s60_x_rgb_my_layout.hex
  $ sudo dfu-programmer atmega32u4 start
  

5. If something went wrong and your keyboard is messed up, restore the factory default firmware using file S60-X_FW.hex.
