# kinesis_stapelberg keyboard firmware
This folder contains the firmware customization required to run QMK on the custom controller for the Kinesis Advantage created by Michael Stapelberg.
It differs from the `alvicstep` keyboard in that the existing QMK Kinesis Advantage project uses the existing controller board provided by Kinesis.
The controller board hardware is described
[here](http://michael.stapelberg.de/Artikel/kinesis_custom_controller)
Mapping the pin assignments was done using the corresponding matrix description provided at this
[link](https://github.com/stapelberg/kinesis-firmware/blob/master/kb_kinesis/config.kspec)
This code makes no attempt to drive the four LEDs provided on the controller board.
## Building the Hardware
If you want to perform this customization, these parts may be helpful.
| Function | Quantity | Vendor | Part Number |
| ------------------------------------------------------ | -------- | ------- | ------------ |
| 13 pin connector for function keys and finger keywells | 4 | Digi-Key | WM14526-ND |
| 10 pin headers for thumb clusters | 4 | Digi-Key | 609-3250-ND |
| 8 pin cable for thumb clusters | 2 | Digi-Key | SAM8928-ND |
| Teensy++ 2.0 | 1 | Digi-Key | 1528-1056-ND |
| 2 pin right angle header for reset | 1 | Digi-Key | 3M9467-ND |
| Reset cables | 2 | Sparkfun | PRT-09140 |
The board and connections are shown here

The Teensy mounting detail can be seen here.
I used a socket for prototyping.

Since the proper mounting of the Teensy board places the reset button in a tight space, I added a 2-pin header to the reset and ground pins on the edge of the board.
Shorting these two pins together will reset the board.
I also put female to male header jumper cables on these so they could be accessed outside the enclosure.
The exterior cables can be seen here.

## Keymaps
### Default
To build with the default keymap, run `make kinesis/stapelberg` while in the QMK directory.
### Dvorak
This keymap contains a dvorak implementation as well as media and symbol layers.
Run `make kinesis/stapelberg:dvorak` while in the QMK directory.
