kb04_vial_fw's Introduction

kb04_vial_fw

Compiled firmware for DOIO's kb04 (aka Megalodon Knob Pad/Megalodon Macro Pad with a Knob) along with original source code for vial-qmk.

A macropad that has a 4-key keyboard made by DOIO, controlled by an APM32F103CBT6 chipset. The keyboard features per-key RGB and 1 encoder.

There are three keymaps: default, vial, and vial-inverted. vial-inverted is intended for use when the keyboard is plugged in upside down (with the encoder at the top).

Keyboard Maintainer: filmstarr
Hardware Supported: DOIO Knob Board - KB04

Vial specific feature like macro delay
RGB
