ADB to USB keyboard converter
=============================
-This firmware converts Apple ADB keyboard protocol to USB. You can use TMK Converter, PJRC Teensy2.0 and other USB AVR MCU(ATMega32U4, AT90USB64/128 or etc) for this. But binary size is probably more than 10KB and it won't fit into 8K flash.
+This firmware converts Apple ADB keyboard/mouse protocol to USB, you can use it to plug old ADB keyboard/mouse into modern computer. It works on prebuilt TMK ADB-USB Converter or generic dev board with USB AVR MCU(ATMega32U4/2) like Teensy2.0.

Wiring
------
-Connect ADB pins to controller just by 3 lines(Vcc, GND, Data). By default Data line uses port PD0.
+If you build this yourself you have to solder some wires.

+This is not needed but you can connect PSW to PD1 optionally.

+To build firmware and program TMK ADB-USB 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
+ $ make -f Makefile [KEYMAP=yourname]

-You can select keymap with optional `KEYMAP=` (plain is default). Push button on the converter before running `dfu` target.
+You can select keymap name with optional `KEYMAP=` ('plain' is default name). 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
+Use **Makefile.rev1** for old TMK Converter rev.1 and Teensy2.0 instead of **Makefile**.
Keymap
------
-You can change a keymap by editing code of keymap_[plain|ansi|iso|hasu|yours].c.
+You can change keymap by editing code of unimap_plain.c directly, or copy it to your own keymap file like unimap_yourname.c and edit the file.
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`.
+To get help message in hid_listen press `h` holding Magic key. Magic key is `Power key`.

Apple Extended Keyboard and Apple Extended Keyboard II can discriminate both side
modifiers except for GUI key(Windows/Command).

though ADB protocol itself supports it. See protocol/adb.c for more info.
