helldiver-kbd firmware

helldiver-kbd is a 9key macro-keyboard built for the popular game Helldivers 2.

why?

• democracy

how?

• The 'default' keymap supports QMK.
• The vial keymap support VIAL and there is a companion app with Strataman.

1. Set up your qmk build env.
2. Add this repo under keyboards/helldiver
3. To flash the firmware run:

qmk flash -kb helldiver -km default

To customize the keymap, edit keymaps/default/keymap.c:

• change the LAYOUT to edit your keymap (use keycodes from custom_keycodes)

Flashing the firmware

• Probably you need to change the diode direction in rules.mk
• Make sure you use vial-qmk if you want to have vial-gui/strataman support.
• Pro-micro support (ATmega32u4) is default, you can easily use other mcu-s. (Especially with VIAL, it will be easier to fit the firmware into memory using e.g. blackpill.)

building your own

Personally I have equal amount of fun working on this project (or evenmore) as playing the game. I encourage you to build your own keyboard :)

todo

• via or some UI way of editing keymap so it's more approachable
• verify generated keymaps
  • some keymaps are missing, some are incorrect.
• add hardware repo for a 3x3 macropad
