IBM 4704 to USB keyboard converter ================================== This firmware converts IBM 4704 keyboard protocol to USB HID. Keyboard initialization process takes a few seconds at start up. During that you will hear buzzer from the keyboard. **You need to plug USB cable after hooking up your keyboard to the converter.** Update ------ - 2015/09/07 Added keymap for Alps 102-key. Thanks, tai @ geekhack! - 2015/05/05 Added keymaps for 107-key, 77-key and 50-key. Thanks, orihalcon @ geekhack! - 2015/05/19 Fixed a protocol handling bug.

Connection ---------- In case of using ATMega32U4/U2 1. Supply power with VCC and GND. 2. Connect CLOCK to PD1 and DATA to PD0. You can change pin with config.h. 3. Optionally you may need pull-up register. 1KOhm probably work. TMK Converter can supports IBM 4704. https://github.com/tmk/keyboard_converter Build Firmware -------------- Just run `make`: $ make -f For TMK Converter rev.1 use `Makefile.tmk_rev1` as makefile: $ make -f Makefile.tmk_rev1 For TMK Converter rev.2 use `Makefile.tmk_rev2` as makefile: $ make -f Makefile.tmk_rev2 To select keymap: $ make -f KEYMAP=[plain|...] To indentify your TMK Converter revision see [this](https://github.com/tmk/keyboard_converter#pcb-revisions). Keymap ------ Several version of keymap are available in advance but you are recommended to define your favorite layout yourself. To define your own keymap create file named `keymap_.c` and see keymap document(you can find in top README.md) and existent keymap files. Use `KEYMAP_ALPS102()` to define your keymap for Alps models.
