Zeal60/Zeal65/M60-A implementation (#3879) * Initial version of zeal60 * WIP * Fixes issue #900 * Adding RGB underglow functionality. Fixed a compile-time conflict caused by enabling RGB underglow functionality. * Refactor RPC protocol * Fix last merge * README for RGB underglow updated. * Additional README changes. * Adding RGBW strip software-based current-limiting functionality. * RGBW current-limiting functionality should be handled by RGBSTRIP_MAX_CURRENT_PER_LIGHT instead. * Updated README to reflect implementation of built-in current limiting. * Keymap readability improvements. * Minor keymap improvements. * Fixed LED driver init sequence, formatting * Dimming implementation tested, working. * Stab LEDs synced with spacebar hits in effects. * RGB underglow tested and functional. Simplified README for RGB underglow. * Undid accidental file deletion from previous merge conflict. Safer values for RGB underglow. * Improved arrow key positions in keymap. * Added functionality to correct uneven RGB underglow. Refactored related code. * Reverted to safer values for underglow. * Changes for v0.3 * Custom LED brightness scaling will take place after current adjustment in order to avoid being overridden. * Create keymap.c Added split backspace and split shift to ISO layout * Create config.h Turned on LEDs for new layout * Fixed bug where left spacebar stabilizer LED (LC06) would adopt color of row above. * Added hhkb_wilba keymap * Update keymap.c * Update keymap.c * Update keymap.c * Added indicators, full param setting via host * Added "mousekey" layout * Added Zeal65 support, factory test mode * Keycode safe range changed, caused bugs * Bumped EEPROM version due to change in QMK keycodes * Disable HHKB "blocked" LEDs if KC_NO in keymap * Added "disable_hhkb_blocker_leds" * Required overridden function for keymaps in EEPROM * Added polar coordinate mapping, effect speed * Force Raw HID interface number to 1 always * Fixed last merge from master * Added effect speed to default keymaps * add BACKLIGHT_ prefix to vars * add BACKLIGHT_ prefix to vars * Keymap speed effect; keymap improvements/fixes Readme updated to match changes * Refactored to use common IS31FL3731/I2C drivers * Fixed make rules, backlight disabled feature * Make split rightshift default for Zeal65 * Added M60-A as a "version" of Zeal60. * Renamed IS31FL3731 driver functions * Fix suspend_wakeup_init_kb() being defined twice * First pass refactor dynamic keymaps * Updated to changed I2C and ISSI drivers * Refactor zeal_color.* usage to quantum/color.* * Updated Zeal65, fixed dynamic_keymap * Major refactoring of Zeal60 backlight and API * Lots of little cleanups * Added readme.md * Added readme.md * Added LAYOUT_60*() macros, refactored and cleaned up default keymaps * Fix compile error in suspend.c * Added Zeal65 LAYOUT macros, info.json * Added rama/m60_a, deleted zeal60/keymaps/m60_a * Fixed rama/m60_a/keymaps/proto * Fixed compilation error for suspend.c * Requested changes for PR * Fixed readme.md images * Another readme.md fix * Added drashna's requested changes

# RGB Underglow Strip on the Zeal60: A Guide
<img src="https://i.imgur.com/UuUdOCb.jpg" width="800">
## Requirements
- WS2812B RGB strip, preferably 60 LEDs/meter
- Wire, solder
- Tape, hot glue, or some sort of adhesive
## A. Connecting the strip
You might find the [**full PCB image**](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0490/7329/files/zeal60jumpers.png) helpful. Ignore the red boxes!
1. Connect V+ to the receiving end of the thermistor labeled F1; connect GND to the board's GND pin. (*Avoid connecting +V to the board's +5V pin* - you will likely overload the thermistor, and you will limit your maximum brightness.)

2. Connect DI to PB0.

3. Should look something like this when finished:

*Optional:* To allow considerably more light to escape, consider angling the strip outwards by using some sort of fulcrum under the strip. (I used a thick wire.)
## B. Enabling the strip
1. If it is not present already, add the following to your ***keymap's*** ```Makefile```:
```Makefile
RGBLIGHT_ENABLE = yes
AUDIO_ENABLE = no #Underglow animations cannot be used with audio.
```
2. If it is not present already, add the following to your *keymap's* ```config.h```, and edit the values as necessary:
```c
// Set up RGB underglow.
#define RGB_DI_PIN B0 // The pin your RGB strip is wired to
#define RGBLIGHT_ANIMATIONS // Require for fancier stuff (not compatible with audio)
#define RGBLED_NUM 35 // Number of LEDs
#define RGBLIGHT_HUE_STEP 5 // How much each press of rgb_hue changes hue
#define RGBLIGHT_SAT_STEP 10 // How much each press of rgb_sat changes sat
#define RGBLIGHT_VAL_STEP 10 // How much each press of rgb_val changes val
```
3. If they are not present already, add the following keycodes to your keymap to control the RGB strip: ```RGB_TOG``` (on/off), ```RGB_MOD``` (step through modes), ```RGB_HUI```, ```RGB_HUD```, ```RGB_SAI```, ```RGB_SAD```, ```RGB_VAI```, ```RGB_VAD``` (HSV increase/decrease). Add these to your keymap.
## C. Dealing with current limits
USB 2.0 ports on laptops provide up to 500mA max, but USB 3.0 ports can provide up to 900mA; USB 3.1 up to 1.5A; and powered USB hubs even more. We can run our keyboard at a higher brightness if we draw more power. **The Zeal60 uses 500mA at max brightness.** This means that **you have about 400mA remaining for the strip to use on a USB 3.0 port**; 1000mA free on a USB 3.1 port, so on and so forth.
***Warning:*** **This means you will need to turn *off* your RGB strip before connecting to a USB 2.0 port**, as USB 2.0 cannot sustain the current necessary!
1. If not present already, add the following to your keymap's ```config.h```. Change the numbers based on your needs. The ones below are safe underestimates.
```c
// Enable current limiting for RGB underglow.
#define RGBSTRIP_CURRENT_LIMIT 400 // Strip current limit in mA. (USB amperage - 500mA for keyboard)
#define RGBSTRIP_MAX_CURRENT_PER_LIGHT 50 // mA per light when at max brightness.
```
*Example:* I use a USB port capable of providing 1800 mA. The keyboard uses 500mA, so my personal value (in the `tusing` keymap) for `RGBSTRIP_CURRENT_LIMIT` is 1300. The particular WS2812B RGB strip I have uses a maximum of 60 mA per LED, so that is my personal value for `RGBSTRIP_MAX_CURRENT_PER_LIGHT`.
2. Toggle on the LED strip (```RGB_TOG```) and step through animations (```RGB_MOD```) to test it out!
