ADB to USB keyboard converter
|
|
=============================
|
|
This firmware converts Apple ADB keyboard protocol to USB, you can use it to plug old ADB keyboard into modern computer. It works on TMK ADB-USB Converter, PJRC Teensy2.0 and other USB AVR MCU(ATMega32U4, AT90USB64/128 or etc) and needs more than 10KB flash at least.

Wiring
|
|
------
|
|
Connect ADB pins to controller just by 3 lines(Vcc, GND, Data). By default Data line uses port PD0.
|
|
|
|

|
|
| o2 1o | 2: Power SW
|
|
- === - 3: VCC
|
|
`-___-' 4: GND
|
|
|
|
This converter uses AVR's internal pull-up, but it seems to be too weak, in particular when you want to use a long or coiled cable. The external pull-up resistor(1K-10K Ohm) on Data is strongly recommended.(It is almost must!)

Define following macros for ADB connection in config.h if you use other than port PD0.
|
|
|
|
ADB_PORT, ADB_PIN, ADB_DDR, ADB_DATA_BIT
|
|
|
|
|
|
Build firmware and Program microcontroller
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
See [doc/build.md](../../tmk_core/doc/build.md).
|
|
|
|
To build firmware and program TMK Converter run these commands:
|
|
|
|
$ make -f Makefile clean
|
|
$ make -f Makefile [KEYMAP=(plain|ansi|iso|hasu)]
|
|
$ make -f Makefile [KEYMAP=(plain|ansi|iso|hasu)] dfu
|
|
|
|
You can select keymap with optional `KEYMAP=` (plain is default). Push button on the converter before running `dfu` target.
|
|
|
|
Use **Makefile.rev1** for old TMK Converter rev.1 and **Makefile.teensy** for Teensy2.0 instead of **Makefile**. For TMK Converter rev.2 just use **Makefile**.
|
|
|
|
To program Teensy you can use `teensy` target:
|
|
|
|
$ make -f Makefile.teensy [KEYMAP=(plain|ansi|iso|hasu)] teensy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Keymap
|
|
------
|
|
You can change a keymap by editing code of keymap_[plain|ansi|iso|hasu|yours].c.
|
|
How to define the keymap is probably obvious. You can find key symbols in common/keycode.h. And see [doc/keymap.md](../../tmk_core/doc/keymap.md) for more detail.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Magic command
|
|
-------------
|
|
To get help press `h` holding Magic key. Magic key is `Power key`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Locking CapsLock
|
|
----------------
|
|
Many of old ADB keyboards have mechanical push-lock switch for Capslock key and this converter supports the locking Capslock key by default. See README in top directory for more detail about this feature.
|
|
https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/blob/master/README.md#mechanical-locking-support
|
|
|
|
Also you may want to remove locking pin from the push-lock switch to use capslock as a normal momentary switch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mouse support
|
|
-------------
|
|
ADB mouse support was added by @mek-apelsin on Apr,2015. It supports only one button as of now.

Notes
|
|
-----
|
|
Not-extended ADB keyboards have no discrimination between right modifier and left one,
|
|
you will always see left control even if you press right control key.
|
|
Apple Extended Keyboard and Apple Extended Keyboard II can discriminate both side
|
|
modifiers except for GUI key(Windows/Command).
|
|
|
|
And most ADB keyboard has no diodes in its matrix so they are not NKRO,
|
|
though ADB protocol itself supports it. See protocol/adb.c for more info.
|
|
|
|
If keyboard has ISO layout you may have swapped keys problem, see this for the detail.
