**Plugin name** : Kaleidoscope-Hardware-Technomancy-Atreus  
**Author** : @algernon

**Description** :

This isn’t a plugin per-se, rather a port of Kaleidoscope to the Atreus (the [original](https://atreus.technomancy.us/) by Phil Hagelberg). It supports the post-2016 PCBs with the A\* MCU, and the hand-wired version built by [FalbaTech](https://falba.tech/) with a teensy. It _does not_ support pre-2016 PCBs yet, and support for Technomancy’s legacy Teensy variant is not even on the roadmap.

**Status** :

I believe the port is fairly complete. There’s some work we want to do around the matrix scan and debouncing, but most of that is optimization (it’s already pretty fast, mind you). Every existing Kaleidoscope plugin should work (save the LED ones, obviously), but I did not do extensive tests.

This is the first official port to non-split hardware.

**How to use** :

See the [plugin repo](https://github.com/keyboardio/Kaleidoscope-Hardware-Technomancy-Atreus) for a complete example about usage. The example sketch there has the same layout as the default layout of the Atreus. Copying the `.kaleidoscope-builder.conf` from that repo is a good starting point. Other than that, there’s [my Atreus sketch](https://git.madhouse-project.org/algernon/Atreus-Sketch), with - as usual from me - a very different layout than the original.
