Backlight¶

The keboard has 64 programmable RGB LEDs. We are still working on the backlight. Before we get it done, you are able to customize the backlight in the macro_handler. For example, we set 9 to red color when a macro key pressed, and turn into green color when the macro key is released:

def macro_handler(dev, n, is_down):
    if is_down:
        dev.backlight.pixel(9, 0xff, 0, 0)
    else:
        dev.backlight.pixel(9, 0, 0xff, 0)
    dev.backlight.update()

dev.backlight provides some basic fucntions to control the RGB LEDs

Backlight APIs¶

update() synchronizes with its buffer.
pixel(i, r, g, b) sets the bufffer of the LED i
set_brightness(value) sets the global brightness of all LEDs (from 0 to 255)

Index of RGB LED¶

You can find the index of an LED here.
