Firmware for Bastard Keyboards
Dilemma Max
This release marks the introduction of the official firmware for the new Dilemma Max.
@casuanoob has been hard at work to deliver this new firmware. Thanks a ton!
Skeletyl, TBKmini, Scylla, Charybdis
In addition, this release also contains the updated firmwares for the Splinky v3 and Splintegrated (a.k.a. rp2040_ce which represents the Community Edition pinout for RP2040 based controllers).
The controllers included in the Bastard Keyboard kits are compatible with the Splinky v3.
Via
All Bastard Keyboards, including the Dilemma MAX and Charybdis Mini are now officially supported in QMK and Via. No more sideloading required.

Firmware for Bastard Keyboards
Dilemma v2
This release marks the introduction of the official firmware for the new Dilemma v2.
@casuanoob has been hard at work to deliver this new firmware. Thanks a ton!
Skeletyl, TBKmini, Scylla, Charybdis
In addition, this release also contains the updated 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 (
v2andv3) on adapterv2.0 - 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.
Moving away from Vial in favor of Via
The Vial fork still lags behind QMK's master, which means that Vial-enabled firmwares are now lagging behind the ones built against QMK's master branch by almost 9 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.

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.

LTS
The previous release moved Vial-enabled firmwares targeting AVR controllers to a LTS release cycle.
This means that the following Vial-enabled firmwares are built from a frozen branch (namely, bkb-lts-vial), and will only be updated on a one-off basis, specifically after a critical bug fix:
skeletyl/v1/elitec:vialskeletyl/v2/elitec:vialtbkmini/v1/elitec:vialtbkmini/v2/elitec:vialscylla/v1/elitec:vialscylla/v2/elitec:vialcharybdis/3x5/v1/elitec:vialcharybdis/3x5/v2/elitec:vialcharybdis/3x6/v1/elitec:vialcharybdis/3x6/v2/elitec:vialcharybdis/4x6/v1/elitec:vialcharybdis/4x6/v2/elitec:vial
In the future, new features, if any, will not be merged to this branch.
See #24 for details and reasoning.
Note that:
- This only affects Vial-enabled firmwares on AVR (Elite-C): non-vial enabled firmwares for AVR will still be regularly updated for as long as the original feature set fits on supported controllers
- Going forward, Vial will only be maintained for ARM controllers

Keymaps
- Use the
defaultkeymap for Skeletyl, TBK Mini and Scylla. - Use the
stockkeymap for the Charybdis (3x5 and 4x6). - Use the
vialkeymap for all boards if you want Vial support.
Vial-aware keymaps are also available for all keyboards (AVR and ARM).
Dilemma
This release contains the firmwares for the following version:
- Splinky on the DIY Dilemma
- Assembled Dilemma
Keymaps

stockkeymap - Use the
vialkeymap if you want Vial support
Via- and Vial-enabled firmwares improvements
Thanks to https://github.com/casuanoob, all Via and Vial descriptor files (a.k.a. the JSON files) for the Charybdis and Dilemma now support custom keycodes defined by those keyboards. This means that drag-scroll and sniping mode, and DPI-related keycodes are now labeled as such in the UI of these tools, instead of their default, obscure, labels (eg. USER00).
