Before a keyboard can be used the hardware must be initialized. QMK handles initialization of the keyboard matrix itself, but if you have other hardware like LED's or i²c controllers you will need to set up that hardware before it can be used.

This example, at the keyboard level, sets up B1, B2, and B3 as LED pins.

You should use this function if you need custom matrix scanning code. It can also be used for custom status output (such as LED's or a display) or other functionality that you want to trigger regularly even when the user isn't typing.

# Layer Change Code
Thir runs code every time that the layers get changed. This can be useful for layer indication, or custom layer handling.
### Example `layer_state_set_*` Implementation
This example shows how to set the [RGB Underglow](feature_rgblight.md) lights based on the layer, using the Planck as an example
```
uint32_t layer_state_set_user(uint32_t state) {
switch (biton32(state)) {

case _PLOVER:
