  1. I bought a kit on etsy that came with a pair of Sea Picro microcontrollers. I'm assuming that limits me to KMK firmware since its RP2040 based. And I'm a little concerned about the pinout. It doesn't look compatable at all. For example the Sea Picro looks like it has the TX and RX right next to each and the Klor board has them 5 pins apart. And apparently this stupid board only puts out 3v and has a separate pin in the middle to put out 5. Is it possible to bridge that center pin to somewhere so I can use that power for LEDs down the road?

  2. Does anyone have any advice how to set up the displays in KMK? It all looks pretty lame by default. Just a readout per corner. I was hoping to display some vector graphics or something. Is that possible? I kinda like that sad robot graphic that's printed on the board. Near as I can tell, you would have to split that into quarters and have it display a piece per corner. Am I understanding this right?

  3. When setting up KMK firmware, I understand the basic idea. But I have no idea if I have edited all the right stuff aside from the keymap. I know the folder in this git is mostly preconfigured. I see where you can set the board type, LED, OLED, and speaker. I have no idea where I am supposed to insert code for tap dances and stuff though? And when I'm ready to write it to the board, what do I do with these rename_klor_left and right folders?

  4. There's a behavior I had on a midi controller that I'm wondering is possible with one of these encoders. On the Novation Nocturn there was a big center knob and when you touched it it would do a left mouse click and hold and when you turned the knob one direction it would move the mouse up and to the right or down and to the left. It's really handy for turning knobs in audio software. Is it possible in KMK to have a key combo for a mouse click that I can hold and turn a knob to move the mouse cursor?
