Skeletyl, TBKmini, Scylla, Charybdis

This release contains the firmwares for the following (MCU, adapter versions) pairs:

  • Elite-C on adapter v1.x
  • Elite-C on adapter v2.0
  • STeMCell on adapter v2.0
  • Splinky (v2 and v3) on adapter v2.0
  • Blackpill on adapter v1.1

Splinky versions

The Splinky changed its pins assignment between version 2 and 3. The version is visible on the silkscreen, so make sure you use the correct version of the firmware for your hardware.

This release includes firmwares for both v2 and v3. For any keyboard supporting the Splinky, you can now choose between:

  • …_splinky_v2…
  • …_splinky_v3…

For example bastardkb_skeletyl_v2_splinky_v3_vial.uf2.

The Splinky included in the Bastard Keyboard kits are v3.

Vial

The Vial fork still lags behind QMK's master.

This release comes in late because we were waiting for Vial to catch up and hoping they'd sync to the latest version of QMK. It appears that this is still not done, which means that Vial-enabled firmwares are now lagging behind the ones built against QMK's master branch by almost 6 months.

It is therefore not advised to use these firmwares anymore. For this reason, they are not included in this release. They are still available in past releases if necessary (the most recent one being v3.1.0).

We're evaluating using Via as an alternative, until XAP is production ready. For now, all stock firmwares in this release have been built with Via support. Until the Via JSON are merged into Via's repository of keyboards, you will need to manually load the relevant .via.json file (included in this release) in Via's "Design" tab.
