README

River's Kinesis Advantage Blackpill based controller board

This is a replacement controller board for the Kinesis Advantage keyboard. It is a development of the kinBP by https://github.com/DmNosachev.

Changes from that one:

• Added piezo sounder, allowing for key clicks / beepy tunes.
• Added connector for the original Kinesis cable. There is no need to buy extra USB cables and hack up the case!
• Removed some unneeded connectors, that were for a custom thumb board I'm not using.
• Aligned thumb connector holes properly so you can use the original cable.
• Completely rerouted.
• N.B.: The pins used for the matrix are different - you must use the correct QMK configuration, also provided on my github.

Build Notes

• There are two options for orientation of the function key connectors. Test it works before soldering in.
• Obtain qmk keyboard files from https://github.com/anm/qmk_firmware/ river branch.
• Build QMK with qmk flash -kb kinesis/river -km river.
• Flash with dfu-util
• Flash: Enter bootloader by holding BOOT0 button while resetting / powering on the board, then dfu-util -a 0 -d 0483:df11 -s 0x8000000:leave -D kinesis_river_blackpill411_river.bin. After flashing, you can also enter the bootloader by holding both shift keys and B on the keyboard.
