1 // Functionality
Overview
The PhaseOne uses the latest and in our opinion, greatest, open-source firmware, ZMK. It supports Bluetooth and Wired keyboard operation and is built by a great community of contributors. Within a few months, ZMK will have a webpage to ZMK Studio to easily further customize your board without any coding ability.
Layout
The PhaseOne ships with configuration to support up to 5 Bluetooth connections and Wired performance with the following keymap:
Normal Keymap
The normal keymap is a legend of what occurs when pressing a specific key.
Fn Layer Keymap
The Fn
or function keymap is a legend of what occurs when holding down the Fn
key and pressing another key.
Charging
The PhaseOne automatically charges when connected to a USB outlet with a USB-C cable. You can tell the PhaseOne is charging when the LED on the back of the board under the space bar is illuminated. When completed charging, the LED will turn off.
Bluetooth
The PhaseOne Bluetooth functionality supports 5 profiles (5 different stored connections to devices). The profiles allow you to quickly switch between connected devices.
Pairing with Bluetooth
To pair a device with the PhaseOne, like your computer, phone, or other device:
- Select the profile you want to store the connection on. You can do this by pressing the
Fn
key and1,2,3,4, or 5.
- Once on the selected profile, the PhaseOne automatically starts pairing mode and will display as "PhaseOne".
- On the device youβd like to connect to, pull up the Bluetooth menu and select PhaseOne. Depending on the device, this can take a couple tries.
- Once the connected device says pairing successful, youβre good to go!
Clearing and Repairing with Bluetooth
For security reasons in ZMK, you cannot pair a new device to a profile on PhaseOne until the selected profile is cleared. To clear a profile:
- First select the profile you would like to clear using
Fn
key and1,2,3,4, or 5.
- Use the
Fn
key +Del
to clear the selected profile
