# My ZMK config for the MoErgo Glove80

![Photo](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MattSturgeon/glove80-config/main/img/glove80_photo.png)

Based on [MoErgo's template](https://github.com/moergo-sc/glove80-zmk-config) and [Gaétan Lepage's flake](https://github.com/GaetanLepage/glove80-zmk-config).

This repo contains the current config for my Glove80 keyboard.
The keymap was initially built using MoErgo's [Layout Editor](https://my.glove80.com),
however it is now maintained using [Keymap Editor] with occasional manual tweaking.

The keyboard firmware can be built locally using `nix`, which is also used for [automatic builds].

[Keymap Drawer] is used to render images of each layer (see below).

## Layers

### Base Layers

The default base layer uses Colemak DH. Some punctuation is moved around using Mod Morphs, and useful stuff is placed on the thumb keys.

There is a secondary Qwerty base layer available as a fallback:

### Gaming

A gaming layer extends Qwerty, shifting WASD to a more comfortable position.

### Symbols

Readily accessible from a thumb key, the symbols layer attempts to find comfortable positions for commonly used programming symbols.

### Numbers & Navigation

Also on the thumb keys, a nav layer has a comfortable numpad and navigation keys.

I may consider switching from a numpad layout to a 2x 4-finger numrow in an attempt to keep everything closer to the home row. Alternatively, moving the `0` key up may have the same effect.

### MoErgo's Magic Layer

As standard on all Glove80 keyboards, a Magic layer provider access to system utilities, such as Bluetooth settings and RGB lighting config.

## Setup

### Flashing Firmware

Before flashing, ensure `udisks2` is setup and enabled so that the keyboard can mount its bootloader storage device.

- [`services.udisks2.enable`](https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/options#opt-services.udisks2.enable) NixOS option
- `systemctl status udisks2.service`
- `udisksctl status`

#### Flashing automatically

The easiest way to flash the firmware is using `nix run`.

- `cd` into the project root
- Connect the **right** half (in bootloader mode)
- Run `nix run`
- Connect the **left** half (in bootloader mode)
- Run `nix run`
- Done!

#### Flashing manually

You can also manually copy the `uf2` firmware file to the keyboard.

The firmware can be built locally using `nix build` and will be written to `./result/glove80.uf2`.
Alternatively, the firmware can be downloaded from [GitHub Actions][automatic builds]'s artifacts.

Connect the keyboard half in bootloader mode, then copy the firmware file into the keyboard's USB storage.
The keyboard will unmount when it has finished flashing.

### Booting into bootloader mode

See the [user guide](https://docs.moergo.com/glove80-user-guide/customizing-key-layout/#putting-glove80-into-bootloader-for-firmware-loading) for more info.

- Hold the `C6 R6` key (extreme bottom corner)
- Also hold the `C3 R2` key (middle-finger; Colemak `F` or `U`, Qwerty `E` or `I`)
- Power on the keyboard

![Activating bootloader](https://docs.moergo.com/glove80-user-guide/images/bootloader-power-up-method.png)

#### You can tell if a Glove80 half is in bootloader mode using the red LED next to the power switch:

- Slow LED: in bootloader mode and connected via USB.
- Fast LED: in bootloader mode but there is no USB connection.
- Solid or no LED: not in bootloader mode.

### Factory reset

See the [user guide](https://docs.moergo.com/glove80-user-guide/troubleshooting/#configuration-factory-reset-and-re-pairing-left-and-right-halves) for more info.

Similar to booting into bootloader mode, but use `R2` (numrow) instead of `R3`. Hold for ~5s powered on, before powering off again.

![Activating reset](https://docs.moergo.com/glove80-user-guide/images/configuration-factory-reset.png)

Note, the reset will not affect the saved keymap. Instead it wipes things like Bluetooth devices.

To re-pair the two halves: first power both on at the same time, then toggle RGB on/off with (Colemak) `Magic`+`B` or (Qwerty) `Magic`+`T`.

### Bluetooth

See the [user guide](https://docs.moergo.com/glove80-user-guide/operating-glove80-wirelessly) for more info.

#### Status

When tapping the `Magic` key, status indicators will appear on the Bluetooth keys.

 Not paired

#### Pairing

- First ensure the profile is unpaired (white status LED)
- Select the profile
- Pair using the host device's interface

#### Unpairing

Unpair the selected Bluetooth profile using the `BT_Clear` key (see [magic layer] above). Alternatively unpair all devices using `BT_Clear_All`.
