Not been on here a while and stopped using my Nerd60 back light as it was just too damn bright!DanielT wrote: Yes, QMK works too, MrRooks did a fork of QMK for NerD60 and had success with installing this firmware.
This is the link to his GitHub repo : https://github.com/MrRooks/qmk_firmware
You you are able to add new features please share them ! It would be nice to have fancy lights controls for NerD60 like pulsating lights, control of the underglow etc ...
I'm glad that people are finding this guide useful
Code: Select all
void backlight_init_ports()

/*
* The backlight LED pins PB6 and PB7 can be

* set in the control registers A/B)
*
* f_clk 16000000
* f = --------- = ----------- =~ 244Hz
* N*(1+TOP) 256*(1+255)

* The comparision port is set to low once the counter matches
* our compare value (COM1x1 bit set in control register).
* Setting the compare register (OCR1x) to BOTTOM (=0)
* results in a narrow spike for each TOP+1 cycle.
* So the comparison output is deactivated to reach
