If you're left with unanswered questions, you'll most likely find the info you're looking for in the original write-up.

http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/850e6b96f87499dfe1d944c54194c5b1 I added the FN1-24 to layout and when I flashed. Now all of my back lighting is available without the remote.
1. Get layout finished... http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/850e6b96f87499dfe1d944c54194c5b1 2. Copy raw data from layout in raw data tab. 3. Go to https://tkg.io/# 4. Select RedScarfIII from list. 5. Select Simple as Layer Mode 6. Paste Raw Data in Composite Layer 7 . Follow Directions in Creating Your FN Layer In Keyboard Layout Editor @ https://www.massdrop.com/talk/732/programming-the-red-scarf-keyboards 8. Download EEP File. 9. Make sure keyboard is unplugged. Hold down ESC key. Plug Keyboard in. This puts the keyboard in EEP flash mode. 10. Open saved EEP File in Notepad 11. When you plugged in the keyboard in EEP flash mode it created a printer called "Generic / Text Only) 12. Print the EEP file. If you watch the print Queue. It never seems to finish. I just waited like 60 seconds and pulled the plug. 13. Wait 10 seconds plug in keyboard. POOF all programmed.
It makes the windows disconnect sound when I try to turn it on, both with the flashed layout and the remote. Can't really understand what I'm doing wrong here.
