# Console In |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The "Console" in QMK refers to PJRC's vendor page of `0xFF31` and usage page of `0x74` - this is mainly used for sending debug statements to the computer that can be read via the QMK Toolbox (recommended), or HID listen. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When `#define CONSOLE_IN_ENABLE` is placed in the `config.h` file, the keyboard will also listen to messages sent to the keyboard, will be able to respond in a custom way, defined at the `quantum`, `kb`, or `user` level. A keymap's example might look like this: |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```c |
||||||
|
void process_console_data_user(uint8_t * data, uint8_t length) { |
||||||
|
switch (data[0]) { |
||||||
|
case 0x05: |
||||||
|
print("Sending back a message to the computer\n"); |
||||||
|
break; |
||||||
|
} |
||||||
|
} |
||||||
|
``` |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Which will execute when a report is sent to the keyboard when the first byte is `0x05`. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Default actions (defined at the `quantum` level) |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When the first byte is: |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* `0x01`: Print "Saying hello\n" via the console, and play the audio on song |
||||||
|
* `0xFE`: Enter the bootloader - only works when `CONSOLE_IN_BOOTLOADER` is defined in the `config.h` |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This needs to be fleshed out a bit more with some sort of versioning. |
