Dead column and GPIO not corresponding on KIRA

[xavier-ruiz]

Hello,

Keyboard : KIRA
OS : Windows
Software : Kiibohd Configurator
Details of mapping : pins.xlsx

My problem is that I had a dead last column from the start (resell) but didn't take time to investigate.
Today I did :

1. I checked the pcb and the column : enter/+/-/PdDwn isn't linked to the micro processor ( I used a multimeter to check that ). I looked for every couple Colomn/Micro pro and Row/Micro pro and only that column isn't linked.

2. I then checked on : controller/Scan/Kira/scancode_map.kll and saw that my mapping is different that the one described on the KLL. For example, on the keyboard, column 13 is gpio(A,4) instead of gpio(A,27) on the KLL I found here (you can see the detail in the attachment).

I'm trying to understand wether I have to modify the KLL to match my needs and feed it to Kiibohd Configurator (I didn't found how to do so), or if I have to solder a cable from the last column to the micro processor according to the KLL found here,

I hope that you'll be able to help me,

Best regards

So, you'll need to do 2 things.

1. Resolder the the dead column to an unused pin. Some options are I_RX0 gpio(A,9) and I_TX0 gpio(A,10). GPIO(A,4) is one of the LED drivers, you won't be able to use it without modifying a lot of source code.

2. Remap the pin using custom KLL (this is easier when compiling yourself, but you can specify custom KLL snippets in the configurator).

   Here's an example replacing gpio(A,27) with gpio(A,9)

ScanCodeStrobeList = "
	gpio(B,1),
	gpio(B,2),
	gpio(B,3),
	gpio(A,18),
	gpio(A,19),
	gpio(A,23),
	gpio(A,20),
	gpio(A,11),
	gpio(A,8),
	gpio(A,7),
	gpio(A,6),
	gpio(A,5),
	gpio(A,9),
	gpio(A,28),
	gpio(A,29),
	gpio(A,30),
	gpio(A,2),
	gpio(A,1),
	gpio(A,0)
