The second part, `{x=0..224, y=0..64}` represents the LED's physical position on the keyboard. The `x` is between (inclusive) 0-224, and `y` is between (inclusive) 0-64 as the effects are based on this range. The easiest way to calculate these positions is imagine your keyboard is a grid, and the top left of the keyboard represents x, y coordinate 0, 0 and the bottom right of your keyboard represents 224, 64. Using this as a basis, you can use the following formula to calculate the physical position: ```C -x = 224 / ( NUMBER_OF_COLS - 1 ) * ROW_POSITION -y = 64 / (NUMBER_OF_ROWS - 1 ) * COL_POSITION +x = 224 / (NUMBER_OF_COLS - 1) * COL_POSITION +y = 64 / (NUMBER_OF_ROWS - 1) * ROW_POSITION ``` -Where all variables are decimels/floats. +Where NUMBER_OF_COLS, NUMBER_OF_ROWS, COL_POSITION, & ROW_POSITION are all based on the physical layout of your keyboard, not the electrical layout. `modifier` is a boolean, whether or not a certain key is considered a modifier (used in some effects). |
