HPT_OFF	Turn haptic feedback off
HPT_TOG	Toggle haptic feedback on/off
HPT_RST	Reset haptic feedback config to default
HPT_FBK	Toggle feedback to occur on keypress, release or both

Solenoids

First you will need a build a circuit to drive the solenoid through a mosfet as most MCU will not be able to provide the current needed to drive the coil in the solenoid.

Wiring diagram provided by Adafruit

Settings	Default	Description
SOLENOID_PIN	Not defined	Configures the pin that the Solenoid is connected to.
SOLENOID_DEFAULT_DWELL	12 ms	Configures the default dwell time for the solenoid.
SOLENOID_MIN_DWELL	4 ms	Sets the lower limit for the dwell.
SOLENOID_MAX_DWELL	100 ms	Sets the upper limit for the dwell.
SOLENOID_DWELL_STEP_SIZE	1 ms	The step size to use when HPT_DWL* keycodes are sent
SOLENOID_DEFAULT_BUZZ	0 (disabled)	On HPT_RST buzz is set "on" if this is "1"
SOLENOID_BUZZ_ACTUATED	SOLENOID_MIN_DWELL	Actuated-time when the solenoid is in buzz mode
SOLENOID_BUZZ_NONACTUATED	SOLENOID_MIN_DWELL	Non-Actuated-time when the solenoid is in buzz mode

• If solenoid buzz is off, then dwell time is how long the "plunger" stays activated. The dwell time changes how the solenoid sounds.
• If solenoid buzz is on, then dwell time sets the length of the buzz, while SOLENOID_BUZZ_ACTUATED and SOLENOID_BUZZ_NONACTUATED set the (non-)actuation times withing the buzz period.
• With the current implementation, for any of the above time settings, the precision of these settings may be affected by how fast the keyboard is able to scan the matrix. Therefore, if the keyboards scanning routine is slow, it may be preferable to set SOLENOID_DWELL_STEP_SIZE to a value slightly smaller than the time it takes to scan the keyboard.

Beware that some pins may be powered during bootloader (ie. A13 on the STM32F303 chip) and will result in the solenoid kept in the on state through the whole flashing process. This may overheat and damage the solenoid. If you find that the pin the solenoid is connected to is triggering the solenoid during bootloader/DFU, select another pin.

DRV2605L

DRV2605L is controlled over i2c protocol, and has to be connected to the SDA and SCL pins, these varies depending on the MCU in use.

Feedback motor setup

This driver supports 2 different feedback motors. Set the following in your config.h based on which motor you have selected.

ERM

Eccentric Rotating Mass vibration motors (ERM) is motor with a off-set weight attached so when drive signal is attached, the off-set weight spins and causes a sinusoidal wave that translate into vibrations.

#define FB_ERM_LRA 0
#define FB_BRAKEFACTOR 3 /* For 1x:0, 2x:1, 3x:2, 4x:3, 6x:4, 8x:5, 16x:6, Disable Braking:7 */
#define FB_LOOPGAIN 1 /* For  Low:0, Medium:1, High:2, Very High:3 */

/* Please refer to your datasheet for the optimal setting for your specific motor. */
#define RATED_VOLTAGE 3
#define V_PEAK 5

LRA

Linear resonant actuators (LRA, also know as a linear vibrator) works different from a ERM. A LRA has a weight and magnet suspended by springs and a voice coil. When the drive signal is applied, the weight would be vibrate on a single axis (side to side or up and down). Since the weight is attached to a spring, there is a resonance effect at a specific frequency. This frequency is where the LRA will operate the most efficiently. Refer to the motor's datasheet for the recommanded range for this frequency.

#define FB_ERM_LRA 1
#define FB_BRAKEFACTOR 3 /* For 1x:0, 2x:1, 3x:2, 4x:3, 6x:4, 8x:5, 16x:6, Disable Braking:7 */
#define FB_LOOPGAIN 1 /* For  Low:0, Medium:1, High:2, Very High:3 */

/* Please refer to your datasheet for the optimal setting for your specific motor. */
#define RATED_VOLTAGE 2
#define V_PEAK 2.8
#define V_RMS 2.0 
#define V_PEAK 2.1
#define F_LRA 205 /* resonance freq */

DRV2605L waveform library

DRV2605L comes with preloaded library of various waveform sequences that can be called and played. If writing a macro, these waveforms can be played using DRV_pulse(*sequence name or number*)

Optional DRV2605L defines

#define DRV_GREETING *sequence name or number*

If haptic feedback is enabled, the keyboard will vibrate to a specific sqeuence during startup. That can be selected using the following define:

#define DRV_MODE_DEFAULT *sequence name or number*

This will set what sequence HPT_RST will set as the active mode. If not defined, mode will be set to 1 when HPT_RST is pressed.

DRV2605L Continuous Haptic Mode

This mode sets continuous haptic feedback with the option to increase or decrease strength.
