-# RGB Matrix Lighting
+# LED Matrix Lighting
+
+This feature allows you to use LED matrices driven by external drivers. It hooks into the backlight system so you can use the same keycodes as backlighting to control it.
+
+If you want to use RGB LED's you should use the [RGB Matrix Subsystem](feature_rgb_matrix.md) instead.
## Driver configuration
### IS31FL3731
-There is basic support for addressable RGB matrix lighting with the I2C IS31FL3731 RGB controller. To enable it, add this to your `rules.mk`:

+
+You can use between 1 and 4 IS31FL3731 IC's. Do not specify `LED_DRIVER_ADDR_<N>` defines for IC's that are not present on your keyboard. You can define the following items in `config.h`:
-Configure the hardware via your `config.h`:
+| Variable | Description | Default |
+|----------|-------------|---------|
+| `ISSI_TIMEOUT` | (Optional) How long to wait for i2c messages | 100 |
+| `ISSI_PERSISTENCE` | (Optional) Retry failed messages this many times | 0 |

+| `LED_DRIVER_ADDR_3` | (Optional) Address for the third LED driver | |
+| `LED_DRIVER_ADDR_4` | (Optional) Address for the fourth LED driver | |

-The format for the matrix position used in this array is `{row | (col << 4)}`. The `x` is between (inclusive) 0-224, and `y` is between (inclusive) 0-64. The easiest way to calculate these positions is:
-
- x = 224 / ( NUMBER_OF_ROWS - 1 ) * ROW_POSITION
- y = 64 / (NUMBER_OF_COLS - 1 ) * COL_POSITION
-
-Where all variables are decimels/floats.
-
-`modifier` is a boolean, whether or not a certain key is considered a modifier (used in some effects).

## Keycodes
-All RGB keycodes are currently shared with the RGBLIGHT system:
-
- * `RGB_TOG` - toggle
- * `RGB_MOD` - cycle through modes
- * `RGB_HUI` - increase hue
- * `RGB_HUD` - decrease hue
- * `RGB_SAI` - increase saturation
- * `RGB_SAD` - decrease saturation
- * `RGB_VAI` - increase value
- * `RGB_VAD` - decrease value
- * `RGB_SPI` - increase speed effect (no EEPROM support)
- * `RGB_SPD` - decrease speed effect (no EEPROM support)
-
-
- * `RGB_MODE_*` keycodes will generally work, but are not currently mapped to the correct effects for the RGB Matrix system

+## LED Matrix Effects
+Currently no LED matrix effects have been created.
## Custom layer effects
Custom layer effects can be done by defining this in your `<keyboard>.c`:
- void rgb_matrix_indicators_kb(void) {
- rgb_matrix_set_color(index, red, green, blue);
+ void led_matrix_indicators_kb(void) {
+ led_matrix_set_index_value(index, value);
}
-A similar function works in the keymap as `rgb_matrix_indicators_user`.
-
-## Additional `config.h` Options
-
- #define RGB_MATRIX_KEYPRESSES // reacts to keypresses (will slow down matrix scan by a lot)
- #define RGB_MATRIX_KEYRELEASES // reacts to keyreleases (not recommened)
- #define RGB_DISABLE_AFTER_TIMEOUT 0 // number of ticks to wait until disabling effects
- #define RGB_DISABLE_WHEN_USB_SUSPENDED false // turn off effects when suspended
- #define RGB_MATRIX_SKIP_FRAMES 1 // number of frames to skip when displaying animations (0 is full effect) if not defined defaults to 1
- #define RGB_MATRIX_MAXIMUM_BRIGHTNESS 200 // limits maximum brightness of LEDs to 200 out of 255. If not defined maximum brightness is set to 255
-
-## EEPROM storage
-
-The EEPROM for it is currently shared with the RGBLIGHT system (it's generally assumed only one RGB would be used at a time), but could be configured to use its own 32bit address with:
-
- #define EECONFIG_RGB_MATRIX (uint32_t *)16
-
-Where `16` is an unused index from `eeconfig.h`.
+A similar function works in the keymap as `led_matrix_indicators_user`.
