It does this by storing the base state rgb + +## Setup + +1. Enable RGB underglow in your `rules.mk` + + ``` + RGBLIGHT_ENABLE = yes # Enable keyboard RGB underglow + ``` + +2. (Optional) Add RGB configuration to your `config.h` + + ``` + #ifdef RGBLIGHT_ENABLE + // # define RGBLIGHT_ANIMATIONS + # define RGBLIGHT_HUE_STEP 8 + # define RGBLIGHT_SAT_STEP 16 + # define RGBLIGHT_VAL_STEP 16 + # define RGBLIGHT_LIMIT_VAL 150 + # define RGBLIGHT_SLEEP + // # define RGBLIGHT_LAYERS + #endif + ``` + +3. Add `set_layer_hsv` function. This is where you define your layer-specific colors by setting the HSV properties on the `layer_color` pointer. This example uses the QMK RGB configuration parameters to keep the layer colors offset based on the current EEPROM HSV. + + > NOTE: The HSV values should be between 0 and 255, but setting the modulus on saturation causes the lights to go white on my board. I _think_ this is due to overflow, but I haven't had the chance to try and resolve it yet. + + + ``` + #ifdef RGBLIGHT_ENABLE + void set_layer_hsv(layer_state_t state, HSV* layer_color) { + int32_t h = layer_color->h, s = layer_color->s, v = layer_color->v; + switch (get_highest_layer(state)) { + case _RAISE: + h += 2 * RGBLIGHT_HUE_STEP; + break; + case _LOWER: + h += -2 * RGBLIGHT_HUE_STEP; + break; + case _NAV: + h += 1 * RGBLIGHT_HUE_STEP; + break; + case _MOUSE: + h += -7 * RGBLIGHT_HUE_STEP; + break; + default: + break; + } + layer_color->h = h % 255; + layer_color->s = s; + layer_color->v = v % 255; + return; + } + #endif + ``` + +4. (Optional) If you're using `post_process_record_user`, you'll need to change the name in your keymap to `post_process_record_keymap`. We use the user function to update the HSV state after one of the RGB keycodes is pressed. |
