# RGB Lighting
QMK has the ability to control RGB LEDs attached to your keyboard. This is commonly called *underglow*, due to the LEDs often being mounted on the bottom of the keyboard, producing a nice diffused effect when combined with a translucent case.
![Planck with RGB Underglow](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/3774a7fcdab5544fc787f4c200be05fcd417e31f/keyboards/planck/keymaps/yang/planck-with-rgb-underglow.jpg)
Some keyboards come with RGB LEDs preinstalled. Others must have them installed after the fact. See the [Hardware Modification](#hardware-modification) section for information on adding RGB lighting to your keyboard.
Currently QMK supports the following addressable LEDs on AVR microcontrollers (however, the white LED in RGBW variants is not supported):
* WS2811, WS2812, WS2812B, WS2812C, etc.
* SK6812, SK6812MINI, SK6805
These LEDs are called "addressable" because instead of using a wire per color, each LED contains a small microchip that understands a special protocol sent over a single wire. The chip passes on the remaining data to the next LED, allowing them to be chained together. In this way, you can easily control the color of the individual LEDs.
## Usage
On keyboards with onboard RGB LEDs, it is usually enabled by default. If it is not working for you, check that your `rules.mk` includes the following:
```make
RGBLIGHT_ENABLE = yes
```
At minimum you must define the data pin your LED strip is connected to, and the number of LEDs in the strip, in your `config.h`. If your keyboard has onboard RGB LEDs, and you are simply creating a keymap, you usually won't need to modify these.
|Define |Description |
|---------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|`RGB_DI_PIN` |The pin connected to the data pin of the LEDs |
|`RGBLED_NUM` |The number of LEDs connected |
|`RGBLED_SPLIT` |(Optional) For split keyboards, the number of LEDs connected on each half directly wired to `RGB_DI_PIN` |
Then you should be able to use the keycodes below to change the RGB lighting to your liking.
### Color Selection
QMK uses [Hue, Saturation, and Value](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSL_and_HSV) to select colors rather than RGB. The color wheel below demonstrates how this works.
<img src="gitbook/images/color-wheel.svg" alt="HSV Color Wheel" width="250"/>
Changing the **Hue** cycles around the circle.<br>
Changing the **Saturation** moves between the inner and outer sections of the wheel, affecting the intensity of the color.<br>
Changing the **Value** sets the overall brightness.<br>

|`RGBLIGHT_SPLIT` |*Not defined*|If defined, synchronization functionality for split keyboards is added|
## Effects and Animations
Not only can this lighting be whatever color you want,
if `RGBLIGHT_EFFECT_xxxx` or `RGBLIGHT_ANIMATIONS` is defined, you also have a number of animation modes at your disposal:
|Mode number symbol |Additional number |Description |
|-----------------------------|-------------------|---------------------------------------|
|`RGBLIGHT_MODE_STATIC_LIGHT` | *None* |Solid color (this mode is always enabled) |
|`RGBLIGHT_MODE_BREATHING` | 0,1,2,3 |Solid color breathing |
|`RGBLIGHT_MODE_RAINBOW_MOOD` | 0,1,2 |Cycling rainbow |
|`RGBLIGHT_MODE_RAINBOW_SWIRL`| 0,1,2,3,4,5 |Swirling rainbow |
|`RGBLIGHT_MODE_SNAKE` | 0,1,2,3,4,5 |Snake |
|`RGBLIGHT_MODE_KNIGHT` | 0,1,2 |Knight |
|`RGBLIGHT_MODE_CHRISTMAS` | *None* |Christmas |
|`RGBLIGHT_MODE_STATIC_GRADIENT`| 0,1,..,9 |Static gradient |
|`RGBLIGHT_MODE_RGB_TEST` | *None* |RGB Test |
|`RGBLIGHT_MODE_ALTERNATING` | *None* |Alternating |
Check out [this video](https://youtube.com/watch?v=VKrpPAHlisY) for a demonstration.
Note: For versions older than 0.6.117, The mode numbers were written directly. In `quantum/rgblight.h` there is a contrast table between the old mode number and the current symbol.
### Effect and Animation Toggles
Use these defines to add or remove animations from the firmware. When you are running low on flash space, it can be helpful to disable animations you are not using.
|Define |Default |Description |
|------------------------------------|-------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|`RGBLIGHT_ANIMATIONS` |*Not defined*|Enable all additional animation modes. |
|`RGBLIGHT_EFFECT_ALTERNATING` |*Not defined*|Enable alternating animation mode. |
|`RGBLIGHT_EFFECT_BREATHING` |*Not defined*|Enable breathing animation mode. |
|`RGBLIGHT_EFFECT_CHRISTMAS` |*Not defined*|Enable christmas animation mode. |
|`RGBLIGHT_EFFECT_KNIGHT` |*Not defined*|Enable knight animation mode. |
|`RGBLIGHT_EFFECT_RAINBOW_MOOD` |*Not defined*|Enable rainbow mood animation mode. |
|`RGBLIGHT_EFFECT_RAINBOW_SWIRL` |*Not defined*|Enable rainbow swirl animation mode. |
|`RGBLIGHT_EFFECT_RGB_TEST` |*Not defined*|Enable RGB test animation mode. |
|`RGBLIGHT_EFFECT_SNAKE` |*Not defined*|Enable snake animation mode. |
|`RGBLIGHT_EFFECT_STATIC_GRADIENT` |*Not defined*|Enable static gradient mode. |
### Effect and Animation Settings
The following options are used to tweak the various animations:
|Define |Default |Description |
|------------------------------------|-------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|`RGBLIGHT_EFFECT_BREATHE_CENTER` |*Not defined*|If defined, used to calculate the curve for the breathing animation. Valid values are 1.0 to 2.7 |
|`RGBLIGHT_EFFECT_BREATHE_MAX` |`255` |The maximum brightness for the breathing mode. Valid values are 1 to 255 |
|`RGBLIGHT_EFFECT_CHRISTMAS_INTERVAL`|`1000` |How long to wait between light changes for the "Christmas" animation, in milliseconds|
|`RGBLIGHT_EFFECT_CHRISTMAS_STEP` |`2` |The number of LEDs to group the red/green colors by for the "Christmas" animation |
|`RGBLIGHT_EFFECT_KNIGHT_LED_NUM` |`RGBLED_NUM` |The number of LEDs to have the "Knight" animation travel |
|`RGBLIGHT_EFFECT_KNIGHT_LENGTH` |`3` |The number of LEDs to light up for the "Knight" animation |
|`RGBLIGHT_EFFECT_KNIGHT_OFFSET` |`0` |The number of LEDs to start the "Knight" animation from the start of the strip by |
|`RGBLIGHT_RAINBOW_SWIRL_RANGE` |`255` |Range adjustment for the rainbow swirl effect to get different swirls |
|`RGBLIGHT_EFFECT_SNAKE_LENGTH` |`4` |The number of LEDs to light up for the "Snake" animation |
### Example Usage to Reduce Memory Footprint
1. Remove `RGBLIGHT_ANIMATIONS` from `config.h`.
1. Selectively add the animations you want to enable. The following would enable two animations and save about 4KiB:
```diff
#undef RGBLED_NUM
-#define RGBLIGHT_ANIMATIONS
+#define RGBLIGHT_EFFECT_STATIC_GRADIENT
+#define RGBLIGHT_EFFECT_RAINBOW_SWIRL
#define RGBLED_NUM 12
#define RGBLIGHT_HUE_STEP 8
#define RGBLIGHT_SAT_STEP 8
```
### Animation Speed
You can also modify the speeds that the different modes animate at:
Here is a quick demo on Youtube (with NPKC KC60) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKrpPAHlisY).
```c
// How long (in milliseconds) to wait between animation steps for each of the "Solid color breathing" animations
const uint8_t RGBLED_BREATHING_INTERVALS[] PROGMEM = {30, 20, 10, 5};
// How long (in milliseconds) to wait between animation steps for each of the "Cycling rainbow" animations
const uint8_t RGBLED_RAINBOW_MOOD_INTERVALS[] PROGMEM = {120, 60, 30};
// How long (in milliseconds) to wait between animation steps for each of the "Swirling rainbow" animations
const uint8_t RGBLED_RAINBOW_SWIRL_INTERVALS[] PROGMEM = {100, 50, 20};
// How long (in milliseconds) to wait between animation steps for each of the "Snake" animations
const uint8_t RGBLED_SNAKE_INTERVALS[] PROGMEM = {100, 50, 20};
// How long (in milliseconds) to wait between animation steps for each of the "Knight" animations
const uint8_t RGBLED_KNIGHT_INTERVALS[] PROGMEM = {127, 63, 31};
// These control which hues are selected for each of the "Static gradient" modes
2019-05-01 15:02:02 +00:00
const uint8_t RGBLED_GRADIENT_RANGES[] PROGMEM = {255, 170, 127, 85, 64};
```

```
These are defined in [`rgblight_list.h`](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/quantum/rgblight_list.h). Feel free to add to this list!
## Changing the order of the LEDs
If you want to make the logical order of LEDs different from the electrical connection order, you can do this by defining the `RGBLIGHT_LED_MAP` macro in your `config.h`.
Normally, the contents of the LED buffer are output to the LEDs in the same order.
<img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2170248/55743718-01866c80-5a6e-11e9-8134-25419928327a.JPG" alt="simple dicrect" width="50%"/>
By defining `RGBLIGHT_LED_MAP` as in the example below, you can specify the LED with addressing in reverse order of the electrical connection order.
```c
// config.h
#define RGBLED_NUM 4
#define RGBLIGHT_LED_MAP { 3, 2, 1, 0 }
```
<img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2170248/55743725-08ad7a80-5a6e-11e9-83ed-126a2b0209fc.JPG" alt="simple mapped" width="50%"/>
For keyboards that use the RGB LEDs as a backlight for each key, you can also define it as in the example below.
```c
// config.h
#define RGBLED_NUM 30
/* RGB LED Conversion macro from physical array to electric array */
#define LED_LAYOUT( \
L00, L01, L02, L03, L04, L05, \
L10, L11, L12, L13, L14, L15, \
L20, L21, L22, L23, L24, L25, \
L30, L31, L32, L33, L34, L35, \
L40, L41, L42, L43, L44, L45 ) \
{ \
L05, L04, L03, L02, L01, L00, \
L10, L11, L12, L13, L14, L15, \
L25, L24, L23, L22, L21, L20, \
L30, L31, L32, L33, L34, L35, \
L46, L45, L44, L43, L42, L41 \
}
/* RGB LED logical order map */
/* Top->Bottom, Right->Left */
#define RGBLIGHT_LED_MAP LED_LAYOUT( \
25, 20, 15, 10, 5, 0, \
26, 21, 16, 11, 6, 1, \
27, 22, 17, 12, 7, 2, \
28, 23, 18, 13, 8, 3, \
29, 24, 19, 14, 9, 4 )
```
## Clipping Range
Using the `rgblight_set_clipping_range()` function, you can prepare more buffers than the actual number of LEDs, and output some of the buffers to the LEDs. This is useful if you want the split keyboard to treat left and right LEDs as logically contiguous.
You can set the Clipping Range by executing the following code.
```c
// some soruce
rgblight_set_clipping_range(3, 4);
```
<img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2170248/55743785-2bd82a00-5a6e-11e9-9d4b-1b4ffaf4932b.JPG" alt="clip direct" width="70%"/>
In addition to setting the Clipping Range, you can use `RGBLIGHT_LED_MAP` together.
```c

## Hardware Modification
If your keyboard lacks onboard underglow LEDs, you may often be able to solder on an RGB LED strip yourself. You will need to find an unused pin to wire to the data pin of your LED strip. Some keyboards may break out unused pins from the MCU to make soldering easier. The other two pins, VCC and GND, must also be connected to the appropriate power pins.
