There are many conceivable ways to map 54edo onto the onto the Lumatone keyboard. However, it has 2 mutually-exclusive rings of fifths, so the Standard Lumatone mapping for Pythagorean is not one of them.
Diatonic
You can use the b val, but it is very flat, to the point where major seconds become 10/9 instead of 9/8.
Diaschismic
Despite having a smaller range, the diaschismic mapping makes it much easier to play harmonics together.
Nessafof (Porwell)
Bryan Deister has used the Nessafof (Porwell) layout for 54edo, as demonstrated in microtonal improvisation in 54edo (2025). At 7\54, the generator is a near-just septimal neutral second (~35/32), of which 2 make a slightly flat minor third ~6/5 (constituted in 54b), and 11 make a sharp ~8/3 (which corresponds to the 54b flat fifth). The 7L 1s scale (with a step ratio of 7:5) is expanded similar to the expanded Lumatone mapping for porcupine if represented as 7L 1s, but even more expanded. On the one hand, this makes octaves recede rapidly; but on the other hand, this also means that down and right gives a convenient ascending whole tone scale shared with 12edo, although this requires constituting the ~9/8 whole steps as (3♭ × 3♯) / 8. The range is four full octaves.
Unnamed rank-3 temperament
Bryan Deister's has demonstrated a 2L 4s (10:7 step ratio) mapping of 54edo in 54edo groove (2026). The rightward generator 7\54 is a sharp undecimal neutral second ~12/11 (also a flat large undecimal neutral second ~11/10 if the 54c val is used); two of them make a mildly flat classic minor third ~6/5 (again assuming the use of the 54c val) The down-right generator 10\54 is a flat septimal whole tone ~8/7; stacking four rightward generators minus one down-right generator makes the same sharp classic major third ~5/4 as in 12edo (although again a wart is required for 54edo). The range is slightly over 4¼ octaves (with one repeated note in each octave), but the octaves slope down severely, enough to incur two vertical wraparounds, but not enough to make a simple near-far alternating pattern.
