Tutorial 3b - autoShift

When you finish this tutorial your keyboard will be able to automatically shifted characters.

AutoShift

Some mulit-layer keyboards have a symbols layer that writes symbols without using the shift key:

~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * () _ {} | < > : ?

The keybrd library does this by automatically sending the MODIFIERKEY_SHIFT scancode. The keybrd_3_autoShift_annotated.ino sketch explains the AutoShift feature.

Two keybrd classes use AutoShift:

• Code_ScS
• Code_ScNS

Exercises

1. Modify the keybrd_3_autoShift_annotated sketch to make a 3-layer keyboard with two Code_LayerHold objects.
