# Only compatible with sofle/keyhive firmware which adds an extra column of keys for encoder mapping. ![SofleKeyboard version 2.1 RGB Keyhive](https://i.imgur.com/Oa6spvZ.png) # Configuring VIA This firmware will not auto-recognize until [PR #1060](https://github.com/the-via/keyboards/pull/1060) is accepted to the VIA keyboard database. For now you must install the new layout: 1. Download [keyhive_sofle_rgb.json](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/the-via/keyboards/48372baae5ab451d752988121fa4f1dd47b2c1ce/src/sofle/keyhive_sofle_rgb.json). 2. In the VIA app, select `File > Import Keymap` from the menu. 3. Open the file you just downloaded. **You'll have to do this every time you use VIA until the PR is accepted.** # Using with VIA * The default layouts should be loaded automatically. * Layouts can be backed up in VIA in the SAVE+LOAD section. * It is a good idea to Save Current Layout after you decide on your mapping. # Custom Features: ### Rotary Encoder and VIA Features: * Fully remappable. Left encoder controls volume up/down/mute. Right encoder PGUP/PGDOWN. * Allows for live remapping of per-layer rotary encoder functions in VIA. * VIA support with **keyhive_via** keymap. # Compiling Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment): make sofle/keyhive:keyhive_via ## Flashing Flash using the correct command below (or use QMK Toolbox). These commands can be mixed if, for example, you have an Elite C on the left and a pro micro on the right. Press reset button on the keyboard when asked. Disconnect the first half, connect the second one and repeat the process. # for Pro Micro-based builds make sofle/keyhive:keyhive_via:avrdude-split-left make sofle/keyhive:keyhive_via:avrdude-split-right # for Elite C or DFU bootloader builds make sofle/keyhive:keyhive_via:dfu-split-left make sofle/keyhive:keyhive_via:dfu-split-right See the [build environment setup](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_build_tools) and the [make instructions](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_make_guide) for more information.
