## Challenges
|
|
|
|
I'm very happy with the result, but at some point Proton C was driving me nuts.
|
|
|
|
I did a lot of trial and error during assembly & programming.
|
|
There were a lot of *yet* undocumented caveats,
|
|
so I'll outline them here so that you guys can avoid the same issues I had.
|
|
|
|
## Matrix & encoders
|
|
|
|
Although this is a 48-key board with a 12-col & 4-row matrix, I've decided to add an extra row above the first one
|
|
to make my matrix 12x5 and wire encoders' push buttons as 2 extra keys, thus making it a total of 50 (12x4 + 2 encoders).
|
|
I used 2 columns (9 & 12) for those buttons.
|
|
|
|
So, a first row actually has 2 buttons on columns 9 & 12 (because encoders are located near those columns).
|
|
Encoders' push buttons are also configured via QMK's keymap.
|
|
|
|
Check out the `d48.h` & `config.h` for pins used & keymap macro definition.
|
|
|
|
## I<sup>2</sup>C/OLED
|
|
|
|
Most of the stuff worked out of the box, except me choosing the right pins for my OLED.
|
|
|
|
On the Proton C pinout, there are 3 labels for I<sup>2</sup>C and for some reason
|
|
there are 2 pairs of SDA/SCL for I<sup>2</sup>C<sup>1</sup> channel: `B8`/`B9` (rear left side) and `B6`/`B7` (rear right side).
|
|
I'm not sure if this is a mistake or if I was doing something wrong. So initially I picked `B8`/`B9`
|
|
which were not working. When I switched to B6/B7, things worked like a charm.
|
|
Later I used B9 for matrix row. No issues so far.
|
|
|
|
Oh, and by the way, while using `B8`/`B9`, keyboard was sometimes *swallowing* quick keypresses.
|
|
I believe this was due to I(2)C timeouts (because incorrect pins were used for OLED).
|
|
|
|
## Buzzer
|
|
|
|
It turns out once you switch on `AUDIO_ENABLE`, you cannot use A4 & A5 because they interfere with the buzzer.
|
|
My guess is that buzzer uses DAC channels (not sure why both).
|
|
|
|
I couldn't find this in documentation. Honestly, Proton C has almost zero documentation and this was
|
|
the biggest challenge. Anyway, apart from almost going crazy from those challenges, I really liked it!
|
|
|
|
## RGB
|
|
|
|
I used pin `A15` for my WS28128 RGB strip.
|
|
|
|
## D1307 real-time clock
|
|
|
|
Connecting DS1307 RTC was a piece of cake: same I<sup>2</sup> pins as OLED (SDA/SCL), GND to GND and power to Proton C VUSB pin (5v).
|
|
|
|
## Other issues
|
|
|
|
- `B5` could not be used for matrix.
|
|
- `TAP_CODE_DELAY` had to be increased to 10 to fix `tap_code(KC_VOLU/KC_VOLD)` calls being swallowed in encoder callback.
|
|
- Be extremely attentive about the pinout: keep in mind that **the official Proton C pinout displays the rear of the board, not the front.** Being used to front pinouts, I ended up soldering entire matrix to the wrong side, so I had to desolder every wire and connect it to the opposite side.
|

|
## Conclusion
|
|
|
|
I had a lot of fun. The layout was inspired by the Planck THK. Feel free to ask any questions!
