ADB to USB keyboard converter
=============================
-This firmware converts 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.
+Connect ADB pins to controller just by 3 lines(Vcc, GND, Data) at least. By default Data line uses port PD0.
+This is not needed but you can connect PSW to PD1 optionally.

See [doc/build.md](../../tmk_core/doc/build.md).
-To build firmware:
+To build firmware and program TMK ADB-USB Converter run these commands:
$ make -f Makefile clean
- $ make -f Makefile
-
-You can select keymap(ansi is default) like this:
-
- $ make -f Makefile KEYMAP=[ansi|iso|hasu]
-
-To program TMK Converter:
+ $ make -f Makefile [KEYMAP=yourname]
+ $ make -f Makefile [KEYMAP=yourname] dfu
- $ make -f Makefile dfu
+You can select keymap name with optional `KEYMAP=` ('plain' is default name). Push button on the converter before running `dfu` target.
-To program Teensy2.0:
+Use **Makefile.rev1** for old TMK Converter rev.1 and Teensy2.0 instead of **Makefile**.
- $ make -f Makefile.teensy teensy
-
-Use **Makefile.rev1** for TMK Converter rev.1 and **Makefile.teensy** for Teensy2.0 instead of **Makefile**. For TMK Converter rev.2 just use **Makefile**.
Keymap
------
-You can change a keymap by editing code of keymap_[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`.

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.
+Many of old ADB keyboards have mechanical push-lock switch for Capslock key and this converter supports the locking Capslock key by default. Use keycode `LCAP` instead of `CAPS` in your keymap in short. See README in top directory for more detail.
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.
-
+If you want to remap Capslock key you will have to remove locking pin or just replace with normal momentary switch. Some keyboards like Apple Adujstable keyboard use firmware-base locking with momentary switch for Capslock and remapping it won't be useful in most cases.
-Mouse support
--------------
-ADB mouse support was added by @mek-apelsin on Apr,2015. It supports only one button as of now.

-Notes
------
+Notes for keyboard
+------------------
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.

+
+All one-button mouses should be supported.
-If keyboard has ISO layout you need to use ISO keymap with `make KEYMAP=iso`. With ANSI
-keymap you will suffer from swapped keys problem.
+As of 2019 June, the converter can handle multi-button mice and trackball up to eight buttons if the pointing device supports Apple Extended Mouse protocol. But some devices use their own specific protocol unfortunately and they will work as one-button mouse unless device specific code is added.

+Kensington Turbo Mouse 5(#64210) is supported now.
