## Modifying the keymap

There is a GUI for editing the keymap. It is available at https://kinesiscorporation.github.io/Adv360-Pro-GUI
[The ZMK documentation](https://zmk.dev/docs) covers both basic and advanced functionality and has a table of OS compatibility for keycodes. Please note that the RGB Underglow, Backlight and Power Management sections are not relevant to the Advantage 360 Pro's custom ZMK fork. For more information see [this note](#note)

There is a GUI for editing the keymap. It is available at https://kinesiscorporation.github.io/Adv360-Pro-GUI. This repository is also compatible with certain other web based ZMK keymap editors.

Certain ZMK features require knowing the exact key positions in the matrix. They can be found in both image and text format [here](assets/key-positions.md)

If you are upgrading from V2 to V3, and if the flashing didn't work as expected (i.e. if you are unable to pair the keyboard via Bluetooth), then consider [resetting](https://kinesis-ergo.com/support/kb360pro/#firmware-updates) both halves of the keyboard to its native state. Make sure to use the `settings-reset.uf2` file from
the V3 branch of this repository. After doing this, proceed with the flashing instructions above.

## Changelog

The changelog for both the config repo and the underlying ZMK fork that the config repo builds against can be found [here](CHANGELOG.md)

## Note

By default this config repository references [a customised version of ZMK](https://github.com/ReFil/zmk/tree/adv360-z3.2) with Advantage 360 Pro specific functionality and changes over [base ZMK](https://github.com/zmkfirmware/zmk). The Kinesis fork is regularly updated to bring the latest updates and changes from base ZMK however will not always be completely up to date.

Whilst the Advantage 360 Pro is compatible with base ZMK some of the more advanced features will not work, and Kinesis cannot provide customer service for usage of base ZMK. Likewise the ZMK community cannot provide support for either the Kinesis keymap editor, nor any usage of the Kinesis custom fork.
