# ErgoDox EZ
-The Ez uses the [Teensy Loader](https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/loader.html).
+![ErgoDox EZ](http://www.coolthings.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/ergodox-ez-2.jpg)
-Linux users need to modify udev rules as described on the [Teensy
-Linux page]. Some distributions provide a binary, maybe called
-`teensy-loader-cli`.
+The ErgoDox EZ is a mass produced version of the original ErgoDox keyboard, with optional support for RGB Light (Shine) or RGB Matrix (Glow).
-[Teensy Linux page]: https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/loader_linux.html
+* Keyboard Maintainer: [ZSA Technology Labs Inc](https://github.com/zsa), Firmware maintained by [drashna](https://github.com/drashna)
+* Hardware Supported: Original ErgoDox, ErgoDox EZ
+* Hardware Availability: [ErgoDox EZ](https://ergodox-ez.com/), [ErgoDox.io](https://ergodox.io)
-To flash the firmware:
+Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
- - Build the firmware with `make <keyboardname>:<keymapname>`, for example `make ergodox_ez:default`
+ make ergodox_ez:default:flash
- - This will result in a hex file called `ergodox_ez_keymapname.hex`, e.g.
- `ergodox_ez_default.hex`
+See the [build environment setup](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_build_tools) and the [make instructions](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_make_guide) for more information. Brand new to QMK? Start with our [Complete Newbs Guide](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/newbs).
- - Start the teensy loader.
+## Oryx Configuation
- - Load the .hex file into it.
+If you have `ORYX_CONFIGURATOR` defined in your keymap's `config.h`, this enables a number of the built in options from the Oryx Configurator.
- - Press the Reset button by inserting a paperclip gently into the reset hole
- in the top right corner.
+### Indicator LEDs
- - Click the button in the Teensy app to download the firmware.
+You can use the `LED_LEVEL` keycode to cycle through the brightness levels for the LEDs on the top right of the keyboard. These settings are saved in eeprom (persistant memory).
-See also [video demonstration](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PyiGUO9_KQ) using Teensy in auto mode.
+Alternatively, you can set the brightness by calling the following functions:
-To flash with ´teensy-loader-cli´:
+```c
+void ergodox_led_all_set(uint8_t level);
+void ergodox_right_led_1_set(uint8_t level);
+void ergodox_right_led_2_set(uint8_t level);
+void ergodox_right_led_3_set(uint8_t level);
+```
- - Build the firmware with `make keymapname`, for example `make default`
+These settings are not persistent, so you'd need to reset it every time the board starts.
- - Run ´<path/to/>teensy_loader_cli -mmcu=atmega32u4 -w ergodox_ez_<keymap>.hex´
+These are on a 0-255 scale
- - Press the Reset button by inserting a paperclip gently into the reset hole
- in the top right corder.
+### RGB Matrix Features
-## Settings
+If you're using the Smart LED (layer indication) feature from the Oryx Configurator, you want to make sure that you enable these options by adding `#define ORYX_CONFIGURATOR` to your keymap's `config.h`.
-You may want to enable QMK_KEYS_PER_SCAN because the Ergodox has a relatively
-slow scan rate.
+This changes the `RGB_TOG` keycode so that it will toggle the lights on and off, in a way that will allow the Smart LEDs to continue to work, even with the rest of the LEDs turned off.
+
+Additionally, a new keycode has been added to toggle the Smart LEDs. Use `TOGGLE_LAYER_COLOR`, if you aren't already.
