RGB Matrix Lighting

This feature allows you to use RGB LED matrices driven by external drivers. It hooks into the RGBLIGHT system so you can use the same keycodes as RGBLIGHT to control it.

If you want to use single color LED's you should use the LED Matrix Subsystem instead.

Driver Configuration

RGB Matrix is an abstraction layer on top of an underlying LED driver API. The list of supported LED drivers is below; see the respective documentation for information on how to configure the driver.

Driver	Max LEDs
APA102	?
AW20216S	72
IS31FL3218	6
IS31FL3236	12
IS31FL3729	45
IS31FL3731	48
IS31FL3733	64
IS31FL3736	32
IS31FL3737	48
IS31FL3741	117
IS31FL3742A	60
IS31FL3743A	66
IS31FL3745	48
IS31FL3746A	24
SNLED27351	64
WS2812	?

To assign the RGB Matrix driver, add the following to your rules.mk, for example:

RGB_MATRIX_DRIVER = is31fl3218

Common Configuration

From this point forward the configuration is the same for all the drivers. The led_config_t struct provides a key electrical matrix to led index lookup table, what the physical position of each LED is on the board, and what type of key or usage the LED if the LED represents. Here is a brief example:

led_config_t g_led_config = { {
  // Key Matrix to LED Index
  {   5, NO_LED, NO_LED,   0 },
  { NO_LED, NO_LED, NO_LED, NO_LED },
  {   4, NO_LED, NO_LED,   1 },
  {   3, NO_LED, NO_LED,   2 }
}, {
  // LED Index to Physical Position
  { 188,  16 }, { 187,  48 }, { 149,  64 }, { 112,  64 }, {  37,  48 }, {  38,  16 }
}, {
  // LED Index to Flag
  1, 4, 4, 4, 4, 1
} };

The first part, // Key Matrix to LED Index, tells the system what key this LED represents by using the key's electrical matrix row & col. The second part, // LED Index to Physical Position represents the LED's physical { x, y } position on the keyboard. The default expected range of values for { x, y } is the inclusive range { 0..224, 0..64 }. This default expected range is due to effects that calculate the center of the keyboard for their animations. The easiest way to calculate these positions is imagine your keyboard is a grid, and the top left of the keyboard represents { x, y } coordinate { 0, 0 } and the bottom right of your keyboard represents { 224, 64 }. Using this as a basis, you can use the following formula to calculate the physical position:

x = 224 / (NUMBER_OF_COLS - 1) * COL_POSITION
y =  64 / (NUMBER_OF_ROWS - 1) * ROW_POSITION

Where NUMBER_OF_COLS, NUMBER_OF_ROWS, COL_POSITION, & ROW_POSITION are all based on the physical layout of your keyboard, not the electrical layout.

As mentioned earlier, the center of the keyboard by default is expected to be { 112, 32 }, but this can be changed if you want to more accurately calculate the LED's physical { x, y } positions. Keyboard designers can implement #define RGB_MATRIX_CENTER { 112, 32 } in their config.h file with the new center point of the keyboard, or where they want it to be allowing more possibilities for the { x, y } values. Do note that the maximum value for x or y is 255, and the recommended maximum is 224 as this gives animations runoff room before they reset.

// LED Index to Flag is a bitmask, whether or not a certain LEDs is of a certain type. It is recommended that LEDs are set to only 1 type.

RGB Matrix Effect Typing Heatmap

This effect will color the RGB matrix according to a heatmap of recently pressed keys. Whenever a key is pressed its "temperature" increases as well as that of its neighboring keys. The temperature of each key is then decreased automatically every 25 milliseconds by default.

In order to change the delay of temperature decrease define RGB_MATRIX_TYPING_HEATMAP_DECREASE_DELAY_MS:

#define RGB_MATRIX_TYPING_HEATMAP_DECREASE_DELAY_MS 50

As heatmap uses the physical position of the leds set in the g_led_config, you may need to tweak the following options to get the best effect for your keyboard. Note the size of this grid is 224x64.

Limit the distance the effect spreads to surrounding keys.

#define RGB_MATRIX_TYPING_HEATMAP_SPREAD 40

Limit how hot surrounding keys get from each press.

#define RGB_MATRIX_TYPING_HEATMAP_AREA_LIMIT 16

Remove the spread effect entirely.

#define RGB_MATRIX_TYPING_HEATMAP_SLIM

It's also possible to adjust the tempo of heating up. It's defined as the number of shades that are increased on the HSV scale. Decreasing this value increases the number of keystrokes needed to fully heat up the key.

#define RGB_MATRIX_TYPING_HEATMAP_INCREASE_STEP 32

RGB Matrix Effect Solid Reactive

Solid reactive effects will pulse RGB light on key presses with user configurable hues. To enable gradient mode that will automatically change reactive color, add the following define:

#define RGB_MATRIX_SOLID_REACTIVE_GRADIENT_MODE

Gradient mode will loop through the color wheel hues over time and its duration can be controlled with the effect speed keycodes (RM_SPDU/RM_SPDD).

Custom RGB Matrix Effects

By setting RGB_MATRIX_CUSTOM_USER = yes in rules.mk, new effects can be defined directly from your keymap or userspace, without having to edit any QMK core files. To declare new effects, create a rgb_matrix_user.inc file in the user keymap directory or userspace folder.

::: tip Hardware maintainers who want to limit custom effects to a specific keyboard can create a rgb_matrix_kb.inc file in the root of the keyboard directory, and add RGB_MATRIX_CUSTOM_KB = yes to the keyboard level rules.mk. :::

// !!! DO NOT ADD #pragma once !!! //

// Step 1.
// Declare custom effects using the RGB_MATRIX_EFFECT macro
// (note the lack of semicolon after the macro!)
RGB_MATRIX_EFFECT(my_cool_effect)
RGB_MATRIX_EFFECT(my_cool_effect2)

// Step 2.
// Define effects inside the `RGB_MATRIX_CUSTOM_EFFECT_IMPLS` ifdef block
#ifdef RGB_MATRIX_CUSTOM_EFFECT_IMPLS

// e.g: A simple effect, self-contained within a single method
static bool my_cool_effect(effect_params_t* params) {
  RGB_MATRIX_USE_LIMITS(led_min, led_max);
  for (uint8_t i = led_min; i < led_max; i++) {
    rgb_matrix_set_color(i, 0xff, 0xff, 0x00);
  }
  return rgb_matrix_check_finished_leds(led_max);
}

// e.g: A more complex effect, relying on external methods and state, with
// dedicated init and run methods
static uint8_t some_global_state;
static void my_cool_effect2_complex_init(effect_params_t* params) {
  some_global_state = 1;
}
static bool my_cool_effect2_complex_run(effect_params_t* params) {
  RGB_MATRIX_USE_LIMITS(led_min, led_max);
  for (uint8_t i = led_min; i < led_max; i++) {
    rgb_matrix_set_color(i, 0xff, some_global_state++, 0xff);
  }
  return rgb_matrix_check_finished_leds(led_max);
}
static bool my_cool_effect2(effect_params_t* params) {
  if (params->init) my_cool_effect2_complex_init(params);
  return my_cool_effect2_complex_run(params);
}

#endif // RGB_MATRIX_CUSTOM_EFFECT_IMPLS

To switch to your custom effect programmatically, simply call rgb_matrix_mode() and prepend RGB_MATRIX_CUSTOM_ to the effect name you specified in RGB_MATRIX_EFFECT(). For example, an effect declared as RGB_MATRIX_EFFECT(my_cool_effect) would be referenced with:

rgb_matrix_mode(RGB_MATRIX_CUSTOM_my_cool_effect);

For inspiration and examples, check out the built-in effects under quantum/rgb_matrix/animations/.

EEPROM storage

The EEPROM for it is currently shared with the LED Matrix system (it's generally assumed only one feature would be used at a time).

Callbacks

Indicators

If you want to set custom indicators, such as an LED for Caps Lock, or layer indication, then you can use the rgb_matrix_indicators_kb function on the keyboard level source file, or rgb_matrix_indicators_user function in the user keymap.c.

bool rgb_matrix_indicators_kb(void) {
    if (!rgb_matrix_indicators_user()) {
        return false;
    }
    rgb_matrix_set_color(index, red, green, blue);
    return true;
}

In addition, there are the advanced indicator functions. These are aimed at those with heavily customized displays, where rendering every LED per cycle is expensive. Such as some of the "drashna" layouts. This includes a special macro to help make this easier to use: RGB_MATRIX_INDICATOR_SET_COLOR(i, r, g, b).

bool rgb_matrix_indicators_advanced_user(uint8_t led_min, uint8_t led_max) {
    RGB_MATRIX_INDICATOR_SET_COLOR(index, red, green, blue);
    return false;
}

Indicator Examples

Caps Lock indicator on alphanumeric flagged keys:

bool rgb_matrix_indicators_advanced_user(uint8_t led_min, uint8_t led_max) {
    if (host_keyboard_led_state().caps_lock) {
        for (uint8_t i = led_min; i < led_max; i++) {
            if (g_led_config.flags[i] & LED_FLAG_KEYLIGHT) {
                rgb_matrix_set_color(i, RGB_RED);
            }
        }
    }
    return false;
}

Layer indicator on all keys:

bool rgb_matrix_indicators_advanced_user(uint8_t led_min, uint8_t led_max) {
    for (uint8_t i = led_min; i < led_max; i++) {
        switch(get_highest_layer(layer_state|default_layer_state)) {
            case 2:
                rgb_matrix_set_color(i, RGB_BLUE);
                break;
            case 1:
                rgb_matrix_set_color(i, RGB_YELLOW);
                break;
            default:
                break;
        }
    }
    return false;
}

Layer indicator only on keys with configured keycodes:

bool rgb_matrix_indicators_advanced_user(uint8_t led_min, uint8_t led_max) {
    if (get_highest_layer(layer_state) > 0) {
        uint8_t layer = get_highest_layer(layer_state);

        for (uint8_t row = 0; row < MATRIX_ROWS; ++row) {

Examples

This example sets the modifiers to be a specific color based on the layer state. You can use a switch case here, instead, if you would like. This uses HSV and then converts to RGB, because this allows the brightness to be limited (important when using the WS2812 driver).

bool rgb_matrix_indicators_advanced_user(uint8_t led_min, uint8_t led_max) {
    hsv_t hsv = {0, 255, 255};

    if (layer_state_is(layer_state, 2)) {
        hsv = (hsv_t){130, 255, 255};
    } else {
        hsv = (hsv_t){30, 255, 255};
    }

    if (hsv.v > rgb_matrix_get_val()) {
        hsv.v = rgb_matrix_get_val();
    }
    rgb_t rgb = hsv_to_rgb(hsv);

    for (uint8_t i = led_min; i < led_max; i++) {
        if (HAS_FLAGS(g_led_config.flags[i], 0x01)) { // 0x01 == LED_FLAG_MODIFIER
            rgb_matrix_set_color(i, rgb.r, rgb.g, rgb.b);
        }
    }
    return false;
}

If you want to indicate a Host LED status (caps lock, num lock, etc), you can use something like this to light up the caps lock key:

bool rgb_matrix_indicators_advanced_user(uint8_t led_min, uint8_t led_max) {
    if (host_keyboard_led_state().caps_lock) {
        RGB_MATRIX_INDICATOR_SET_COLOR(5, 255, 255, 255); // assuming caps lock is at led #5
    } else {
        RGB_MATRIX_INDICATOR_SET_COLOR(5, 0, 0, 0);
    }
    return false;
}

Indicators without RGB Matrix Effect

If you want to just use RGB indicators without RGB matrix effect, it is not possible to disable the latter because toggling RGB off will disable everything. You can workaround it with solid effect and colors off using this init function:

void keyboard_post_init_user(void) {
    rgb_matrix_mode_noeeprom(RGB_MATRIX_SOLID_COLOR);
    rgb_matrix_sethsv_noeeprom(HSV_OFF);
}
