Prospector ZMK Module

All the necessary stuff for Prospector to display things with ZMK. Currently functional albeit barebones.

Features

• Highest active layer roller
• Peripheral battery bar
• Peripheral connection status
• Caps word indicator

Installation

Your ZMK keyboard should be set up with a dongle as central.

Add this module to your config/west.yml with these new entries under remotes and projects:

manifest:
  remotes:
    - name: zmkfirmware
      url-base: https://github.com/zmkfirmware
    - name: carrefinho                            # <--- add this
      url-base: https://github.com/carrefinho     # <--- and this
  projects:
    - name: zmk
      remote: zmkfirmware
      revision: main
      import: app/west.yml
    - name: prospector-zmk-module                 # <--- and these
      remote: carrefinho                          # <---
      revision: main                              # <---
  self:
    path: config

Then add the prospector_adapter shield to the dongle in your build.yaml:

---
include:
  - board: seeeduino_xiao_ble
    shield: [YOUR KEYBOARD SHIELD]_dongle prospector_adapter

Usage

For split keyboards, since the peripheral battery widget uses the order in which peripherals were paired to arrange the sub-widgets, after flashing the dongle, pair the left side first and then the right side. For more than two peripherals, pair them in a left to right order.

The layer roller shows layers' display-name property whenever available, and will fall back to the layer index otherwise. To add a display-name property to a keymap layer:

keymap {
  compatible = "zmk,keymap";
  base {
    display-name = "Base";           # <--- add this
    bindings = <
      ...
    >;
  }
}

Configuration

To customize, add config options to your config/[YOUR KEYBOARD SHIELD].conf like so:

CONFIG_PROSPECTOR_USE_AMBIENT_LIGHT_SENSOR=n
CONFIG_PROSPECTOR_FIXED_BRIGHTNESS=80

Available config options:

Name	Description	Default
CONFIG_PROSPECTOR_USE_AMBIENT_LIGHT_SENSOR	Use ambient light sensor for auto brightness, set to n if building without one	y
CONFIG_PROSPECTOR_FIXED_BRIGHTESS	Set fixed display brightess when not using ambient light sensor	50 (1-100)
CONFIG_PROSPECTOR_PROSPECTOR_ROTATE_DISPLAY_180	Rotate the display 180 degrees	n
CONFIG_PROSPECTOR_LAYER_ROLLER_ALL_CAPS	Convert layer names to all caps	n
