  1. Alternative Controller for HHKB Pro
  2. ===================================
  3. I wanted to add some features like vi cursor and mouse keys to my [HHKB][HHKB] but its controller is not programmable and firmware source code is not open, of course. This means customizing this keyboard needs to replace original controller with programmable one.
  4. This controller can work with HHKB **Professional**, **Professional** 2, **JP** and **Type-S**.
  5. See [this thread][AltController] in geekhack.org.

  7. [AltController]: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=12047.0
  8. ## Update
  9. * Bluetooth module RN-42 is supported.(2015/01)
  10. * V-USB and iWRAP are no longer supported now, but still it'll works with a little fix. See not_supported directory.(2015/01)
  11. ##Features
  12. * Customizable keymap
  13. * More keymap layers(more Fn keys)
  14. * Mouse keys
  15. * USB NKRO
  16. * Bluetooth(RN-42)
  17. See README of [tmk_keyboard] for more.

  19. ###Pros
  20. * No risks: Everything is all reversible
  21. * No need for PCB trace patching, case cutting or any other destructive mod
  22. * Can keep original controller intact
  23. * Can change all HHKB behavior as you like
  24. ###Cons
  25. * Void your warranty
  26. * Lose USB hub function of Pro2
  27. ##DISCLAIMER
  28. I'm not a professional of electronics nor MCU programming. This may damage your HHKB.
  29. And my English writing is poor, I'm not sure I can convey my notions accurately.
  30. ##Documents
  31. See [doc/HHKB.txt](doc/HHKB.txt) and files under [doc/](doc/) for internal of HHKB and this controller.
  32. ##Build Firmware & Program
  33. See [this document](../../tmk_core/doc/build.md) first.
  34. ### Configuration
  35. If your target is **HHKB JP** you need to set `HHKB_JP` build option in `Makefile` or use `Makefile.jp` instead of `Makefile`.
  36. If you use other than **TMK Alt Controller Board** set proper `MCU`, `BOOTLOADER_SIZE` and other build options in `Makefile` and `config.h`. At least PJRC Teensy requires changing `BOOTLOADER_SIZE` to 512.
  37. ### Build
  38. Several version of keymap are available in advance but you are recommended to define your favorite layout yourself. Just `make` with `KEYMAP` option like:
  39. $ make -f Makefile.<jp|pjrc|rn42> KEYMAP=(hasu|hhkb|spacefn|<name>)
  40. You can omit `-f` option when you use `Makefile`. `Makefile` is used for **Pro2 and Pro**, `Makefile.jp` fits for **JP** model and `Makefile.rn42` supports Bluetooth module **RN-42**. `Makefile.pjrc` uses **PJRC** as output protocol instead of **LUFA**.
  41. ### Program
  42. First, push reset button on board to start bootloader.
  43. This command programs the controller with [dfu-programmer] if the tool is installed and configured properly.
  44. $ make -f Makefile.<variant> KEYMAP=<name> dfu
  45. Or you can also use [FLIP] command to program. Also the tool should be installed and configured properly. FLIP GUI application is also available.
  46. $ make -f Makefile.<variant> KEYMAP=<name> flip
  47. Use [Teensy Loader] if your controller is Teensy/Teensy++.
  48. ##Keymap
  49. To define your own keymap create file named `keymap_<name>.c` and see [keymap document](../../tmk_core/doc/keymap.md) and existent keymap files.
  50. ##Hardware
  51. You have some options for hardware. Development boards with USB AVR family(ATMega32U4, AT90USB1286) like Teensy will work while MegaAVR with [V-USB] library is also cheaper option for DIY.
  52. ###1. TMK Alt Controller Board
  53. Design files are available at [Keyboard Controller Board for HHKB(KiCad project)](https://github.com/tmk/HHKB_controller) and see [Controller Distribution thread](http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=56494.0) if you get an assembled one.
  54. ###2. PJRC Teensy
  55. See [this thread](http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=57008.0).
  56. ###3. V-USB version
  57. See [V-USB controller for HHKB](doc/V-USB.md).
