In VIA: go to the "Special" section, and find the "Any" key. Then it will let you type in raw key code hex values.
In Vial: just double-click the key, and type in the hex value.

So nothing 'magical' for those special QMK codes, too bad.

Think the Leyden Jar is mostly setup for VIAL instead of QMK/VIA if my understanding is right. You are totally right! I feel like VIAL is the best solution for XWhatsit and Leyden Jar controllers. VIAL automatically detect your keyboard while for VIA you need to go to the hassle to add controller s...

I could half test NathanA work. It is not an extensive test as my XWhatsit controller is currently desoldered (I have a Leyden Jar Rev 3 controller soldered on my F77). Installed new_model_f-allpads-vial_r4b1.zip Thanks to the provided .bat files the flashing procedure is pretty straightforward. Cou...

Hello sedevidi Could you elaborate a bit on the current status of this promising project, please? Please let me give a quick status of this project. This is the first revision of Leyden Jar PCB, a RP2040 based controller aimed to work with Brand New F77/F62 boards and in the future Brand New Beamspr...

It has to be noted that Xwhatsit’s PCBs rely on 5V USB rail as a voltage reference. This is not only used to drive the columns but is also used as a voltage reference for the DAC that is setting the activation threshold. So any drifting or fluctuations over time of this 5V rail will definitely have ...

I'd need 4 comparator chips to do that instead of 2, but yes in theory it could be faster.
For now I have 640us taken to scan the matrix (can probably be faster later on), but I don't change the DAC value in between.

The PCB does have 16 columns and 8 rows and I am pulsing the columns, i'll see how it works as is for the moment. And I have yet to see if changing the DAC value during the scanning is needed in my case. Glad to hear that you have consistent results with the different boards you have, this is a good...

Thank you Arkku for this very detailed answer ! That's funny because I had already found your QMK repository and already started to dive in the source code :P Thank you for confirming the util directory contains the Pandrew utility I was looking for. I see that you and Pandrew went to great lengths ...

Thank you very much, I'll have a look !

Hello fellow keyboard enthusiasts. I am happy to be a new member of Deskthority forum! I would like to talk about my current project here as it may interest some members of this community. A few months ago I received my Brand New F77 Model F keyboard. This board is absolutely stunning in every way, ...
