You can use this command to toggle between **NKRO** and **6KRO** mode temporarily. In some situations **NKRO** doesn't work you need to switch to **6KRO** mode, in particular when you are in BIOS. - -If your firmeare built with `BOOTMAGIC_ENABLE` you need to turn its switch on by `BootMagic` **N** command(`Space+N` by default).

You will get unexpected zero when you say `1<<16`. You have to use **unsigned long** type with `1UL`. - -http://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/rebuilding-and-redesigning-a-classic-thinkpad-keyboard-t6181-60.html#p146279 - - - -## Pull-up Resistor -In some case converters needed to have pull-up resistors to work correctly.

D0 of Arduino Micro is not PD0, PD0 is D3. Check schematic yourself. -http://arduino.cc/en/uploads/Main/arduino-micro-schematic.pdf - - - -## Bootloader jump doesn't work -Properly configure bootloader size in **Makefile**. With wrong section size bootloader won't probably start with **Magic command** and **Boot Magic**. -``` -# Size of Bootloaders in bytes: -# Atmel DFU loader(ATmega32U4) 4096 -# Atmel DFU loader(AT90USB128) 8192 -# LUFA bootloader(ATmega32U4) 4096 -# Arduino Caterina(ATmega32U4) 4096 -# USBaspLoader(ATmega***) 2048 -# Teensy halfKay(ATmega32U4) 512 -# Teensy++ halfKay(AT90USB128) 2048 -OPT_DEFS += -DBOOTLOADER_SIZE=4096 -``` -AVR Boot section size are defined by setting **BOOTSZ** fuse in fact.

Also check BIOS setting. - -Pressing any key during sleep should wake host. - - -## Using Arduino? -**Note that Arduino pin naming is different from actual chip.** For example, Arduino pin `D0` is not `PD0`. Check circuit with its schematics yourself. - -- http://arduino.cc/en/uploads/Main/arduino-leonardo-schematic_3b.pdf -- http://arduino.cc/en/uploads/Main/arduino-micro-schematic.pdf - -Arduino leonardo and micro have **ATMega32U4** and can be used for TMK, though Arduino bootloader may be a problem. - - -## Using PF4-7 pins of USB AVR? -You need to set JTD bit of MCUCR yourself to use PF4-7 as GPIO. Those pins are configured to serve JTAG function by default. MCUs like ATMega*U* or AT90USB* are affeteced with this. - -If you are using Teensy this isn't needed. Teensy is shipped with JTAGEN fuse bit unprogrammed to disable the function. - -See this code. -``` - // JTAG disable for PORT F. write JTD bit twice within four cycles. - MCUCR |= (1<<JTD); - MCUCR |= (1<<JTD); -``` -https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/blob/master/keyboard/hbkb/matrix.c#L67 - -And read **26.5.1 MCU Control Register – MCUCR** of ATMega32U4 datasheet. - - -## Adding LED indicators of Lock keys -You need your own LED indicators for CapsLock, ScrollLock and NumLock?
