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.
5 This controller can work with HHKB **Professional**, **Professional 2**, **JP** and **Type-S**.
7 See [this thread][AltController] in geekhack.org for details.

14 * Bluetooth module RN-42 is supported.(2015/01)
19 * More keymap layers(more Fn keys)
24 See README of [tmk_keyboard] for more.

29 * No risks: Everything is all reversible
30 * No need for PCB trace patching, case cutting or any other destructive mod
31 * Can keep original controller intact
32 * Can change all HHKB behavior as you like
36 * Lose USB hub function of Pro2
39 I'm not a professional of electronics nor MCU programming. This may damage your HHKB.
40 And my English writing is poor, I'm not sure I can convey my notions accurately.
44 See [doc/HHKB.txt](doc/HHKB.txt) and files under [doc/](doc/) for internal of HHKB and this controller.
47 ## Build Firmware & Program
48 See [this document](../../tmk_core/doc/build.md) and [this](https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/wiki#build-firmware) first.
51 Build options and firmware settings are available in `Makefile` and `config.h` or `config_rn42.h`.
55 To define your own keymap create file named `keymap_<name>.c` and see [keymap document](../../tmk_core/doc/keymap.md) and existent keymap files.
59 Several version of keymap are available in advance but you are recommended to define your favorite layout yourself. Just `make` with `KEYMAP` option like:
61 $ make -f Makefile.<variant> KEYMAP=<name> clean
62 $ make -f Makefile.<variant> KEYMAP=<name>
64 `Makefile` can be used for **Pro2 and Pro** USB controller, `Makefile.jp` for **JP**, `Makefile.rn42` for **Pro2** Bluetooth and `Makefile.rn42.jp` for **JP** Bluetooth.
68 First, push reset button on board to start bootloader.
70 This command programs the controller with [dfu-programmer] if the tool is installed and configured properly.
72 $ make -f Makefile.<variant> KEYMAP=<name> dfu
74 Or you can also use [FLIP] command to program. Also the tool should be installed and configured properly. FLIP GUI application is also available.
76 $ make -f Makefile.<variant> KEYMAP=<name> flip
82 ### TMK Alt Controller Board
83 Preassmbled controller is available from [here](https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=71517.0).
85 You can find design files of the controller at [Keyboard Controller Board for HHKB(KiCad project)](https://github.com/tmk/HHKB_controller).
