Kin80

Kin80 controller

Kin80 is a set of replacement PCBs and switch mounting plates for Kinesis Contoured keyboards.

There are 4 versions of the controller PCB, which correspond to the subfolder names:

  • 'micro': rev. 1.1 (obsolete) used Arduino Micro board.
  • 'blackpill103': rev. 1.2 (obsolete) used 'Black Pill' boards with STM32F103C8T6 MCU.
  • 'blackpill401' and 'blackpill411'. Latest Kin80 PCB revisions (1.3+) use WeAct Studio STM32F401 or STM32F411 boards. They are pin compatible with each other, but use different MCUs.

Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):

`qmk compile -kb kin80 -km default`

See the build environment setup and the make instructions for more information. Brand new to QMK? Start with our Complete Newbs Guide.

Default version is 'blackpill401'. If you need to build a firmware for STM32F411, use 'blackpill411' version, e.g.:

qmk compile -kb kin80:blackpill411 -km default

Bootloader

Enter the bootloader in 3 ways:

  • Bootmagic reset: Hold down the the top left key and plug in the keyboard.
  • Physical reset button. Hold 'boot0' button on MCU board, press 'reset', then release 'boot0'.
  • Keycode in layout: Press the key mapped to QK_BOOT if it is available
