All the necessary stuff for Prospector to display things with ZMK. Currently functional albeit barebones.
- Highest active layer roller
- Peripheral battery bar
- Peripheral connection status
- Caps word indicator
Your ZMK keyboard should be set up with a dongle as central.
Add this module to your config/west.yml
with these new entries under remotes
and projects
:
manifest:
remotes:
- name: zmkfirmware
url-base: https://github.com/zmkfirmware
- name: carrefinho # <--- add this
url-base: https://github.com/carrefinho # <--- and this
projects:
- name: zmk
remote: zmkfirmware
revision: main
import: app/west.yml
- name: prospector-zmk-module # <--- and these
remote: carrefinho # <---
revision: main # <---
self:
path: config
Then add the prospector_adapter
shield to the dongle in your build.yaml
:
---
include:
- board: seeeduino_xiao_ble
shield: [YOUR KEYBOARD SHIELD]_dongle prospector_adapter
For more information on ZMK Modules and building locally, see the ZMK docs page on modules.
For split keyboards, since the peripheral battery widget uses the order in which peripherals were paired to arrange the sub-widgets, after flashing the dongle, pair the left side first and then the right side. For more than two peripherals, pair them in a left to right order.
The layer roller shows layers' display-name
property whenever available, and will fall back to the layer index otherwise. To add a display-name
property to a keymap layer:
keymap {
compatible = "zmk,keymap";
base {
display-name = "Base"; # <--- add this
bindings = <
...
>;
}
}
To customize, add config options to your config/[YOUR KEYBOARD SHIELD].conf
like so:
CONFIG_PROSPECTOR_USE_AMBIENT_LIGHT_SENSOR=n
CONFIG_PROSPECTOR_FIXED_BRIGHTESS=80
Name | Description | Default |
---|---|---|
CONFIG_PROSPECTOR_USE_AMBIENT_LIGHT_SENSOR |
Use ambient light sensor for auto brightness, set to n if building without one |
y |
CONFIG_PROSPECTOR_FIXED_BRIGHTESS |
Set fixed display brightess when not using ambient light sensor | 50 (1-100) |
CONFIG_PROSPECTOR_PROSPECTOR_ROTATE_DISPLAY_180 |
Rotate the display 180 degrees | n |
CONFIG_PROSPECTOR_LAYER_ROLLER_ALL_CAPS |
Convert layer names to all caps | n |
