Custom QMK Firmware for Macropad

Framework Laptop 16
1

I have created a custom firmware for the macro pad (simplified version below).
I have issues with getting the firmware to work properly. It seems there is still some remnance from the original firmware interacting with it.

const uint16_t PROGMEM keymaps[][MATRIX_ROWS][MATRIX_COLS] = {
    [0] = LAYOUT(

        KC_TAB,   KC_MINS,    KC_PLUS,     KC_BSPC,

    ),
};

I compile the code with no issues like this

qmk compile -kb framework/macropad -km darkcruix

Then Flash it to the macropad (attaching it with 2 + 6) held down, so it is in bootloader mode while attaching:

qmk flash -kb framework/macropad -km darkcruix

All seems to work fine, but I can’t toggle the layers at all. It stays at layer 0 whatever layer button I press.

Any help is much appreciated.

SOLVED

If someone else looks for a solution, edit the rules.mk (./keyboards/framework/rules.mk) and change these lines:

VIA_ENABLE = no
RAW_ENABLE = yes

Here’s my modified macropad (keycaps and QMK firmware). The macropad changes colors depending on the function of the respective layer.

Did you clear persistent memory / EEPROM after flashing your new firmware? Via keymaps are stored there. Parts of it or all of it will remain, and it will take precedence after flashing new firmware.

Disabling Via will have a similar effect, since any persistent memory will just not be used.

By Request, here are is the SCAD file for the keycaps (3D printed):
Key_Cap_Cover.scad (3.2 KB)

keycap with cutout:

module key_cap_cover(){
difference(){          
linear_extrude(layer_height*4,scale=0.9)r_square([width,length],1.2,center=true);
translate([-width/20+margin_1[0],length/4-margin_1[1],layer_height-0.2])linear_extrude(layer_height*3+0.2,scale=1.1)text(key_1, font = font,halign="center",valign="center",size=font_size+font_deviation_1);
translate([-width/4+margin_2[0],-length/4+margin_2[1],layer_height])linear_extrude(layer_height*3,scale=1.1)text(key_2, font = font,halign="center",valign="center",size=font_size+font_deviation_2);
translate([width/4-margin_3[0],length/4-margin_3[1],layer_height])linear_extrude(layer_height*3,scale=1.1)text(key_3, font = font,halign="center",valign="center",size=font_size+font_deviation_3);
translate([width/20-margin_4[0],-length/4+margin_4[1],layer_height-0.2])linear_extrude(layer_height*3+0.2,scale=1.1)text(key_4, font = font,halign="center",valign="center",size=font_size+font_deviation_4);
translate([0+center_offset[0],0+center_offset[1],layer_height])linear_extrude(layer_height*3,scale=1.1)text(key_center, font = font,halign="center",valign="center",size=font_size+font_deviation_center);

}
}

Just the legend:

module key_cap_cover(){
union(){          
linear_extrude(layer_height*4,scale=0.9)r_square([width,length],1.2,center=true);
translate([-width/20+margin_1[0],length/4-margin_1[1],layer_height-0.2])linear_extrude(layer_height*3+0.2,scale=1.1)text(key_1, font = font,halign="center",valign="center",size=font_size+font_deviation_1);
translate([-width/4+margin_2[0],-length/4+margin_2[1],layer_height])linear_extrude(layer_height*3,scale=1.1)text(key_2, font = font,halign="center",valign="center",size=font_size+font_deviation_2);
translate([width/4-margin_3[0],length/4-margin_3[1],layer_height])linear_extrude(layer_height*3,scale=1.1)text(key_3, font = font,halign="center",valign="center",size=font_size+font_deviation_3);
translate([width/20-margin_4[0],-length/4+margin_4[1],layer_height-0.2])linear_extrude(layer_height*3+0.2,scale=1.1)text(key_4, font = font,halign="center",valign="center",size=font_size+font_deviation_4);
translate([0+center_offset[0],0+center_offset[1],layer_height])linear_extrude(layer_height*3,scale=1.1)text(key_center, font = font,halign="center",valign="center",size=font_size+font_deviation_center);

}
}
