Compiling issues for helix\rev2

(sorry hitting enter too soon)
Since the earlier of this week, everytime I try to compile a helix/rev2 (any of them except for the split common) the compiler resulting in error, even with default keymap load by the tool.

Picture attached. Please help.

As a workaround, use helix/rev2/sc/back instead of helix/rev2/back.

This is an experimental implementation, but you can use it for now.

Look here if you want to know the difference between the two. (The difference is a little.) Https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/7718

I'm sorry, but when I tried it, I realized that the back light couldn't be used.

Thanks for your answer. I wasn't sure what SC really means (and if it is usuable) so did not try it while in a hurry. Will re-try this weekend, not caring about the backlight for now.

(deleted comment) My bad, mapped the wrong file.
Still waiting for non-sc up or sc have default keymap.

I made a workaround for the compile error on QMK configurator.

Currently the following two targets are compilable.

• helix/pico/qmk_conf (The setting in rules.mk for the keymap level will be ignored.)
• helix/rev2/qmk_conf (The setting in rules.mk for the keymap level will be ignored.)

Hi @mtei , just an FYI, the helix/rev2/sc does not seem to have media key (vol+, play) working. I suspect it to not have "EXTRAKEY_ENABLE = yes"

For more details: I try one button using LT or TT or MO, then on that target layer using media keys, it doesn't work.

helix/rev2/sc is an experimental target and is not recommended for now. You should probably be able to use helix/rev3_5rows or helix/rev3_4rows instead. Because helix rev3 is upward compatible hardware of helix rev2. (However, helix rev3 has not been released yet, only the firmware is complete.)

Noted with thanks. All good now.
