===================================
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.
-This controller can work with HHKB **Professional**, **Professional** 2 and **Type-S**.

+## Quick-Start Guide for TMK Alt Controller
+1. Build a custom keyboard layout using the online tool
+ * Use Chrome if the site does not behave as expected
+ * Make sure to generate the file using the right template
+ * Pro2/Pro
+ * [Bluetooth](http://www.tmk-kbd.com/tmk_keyboard/editor/unimap/?hhkb_rn42)
+ * [USB-only](http://www.tmk-kbd.com/tmk_keyboard/editor/unimap/?hhkb)
+
+ * JP
+ * [Bluetooth](http://www.tmk-kbd.com/tmk_keyboard/editor/unimap/?hhkb_jp_rn42)
+ * [USB-only](http://www.tmk-kbd.com/tmk_keyboard/editor/unimap/?hhkb_jp)
+
+1. Save the `.hex` file to your computer; note this is all you need to generate
+ a custom layout with most of the available features (including mouse control)
+ * Check-out [the last third of this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYmAb8zOPWU&t=561s)
+ to get an idea of how to build your own layout; it includes how to load to the firmware using FLIP<P>
+
+
+1. Download and install the `dfu-programmer` (the alternative to FLIP), open-source available
+ for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS. e.g., for Mac OS: `brew install dfu-programmer` <P>
+ _Note: This bootloader is all that is required to load/flash the firmware created
+ using the online tool. You do not need the full `avr-gcc` development stack
+ because you created the required `.hex` file using the online tool instead._
+
+1. Please read and understand this next step in full before running the
+ following three commands
+
+ ```
+ dfu-programmer atmega32u4 erase --force
+ dfu-programmer atmega32u4 flash <your_downloaded_file>.hex
+ dfu-programmer atmega32u4 launch
+ ```
+
+ Or if your are on Unix-like shell you can use command sequence concatinated with `&&`
+
+ ```
+ sleep 20 && \
+ dfu-programmer atmega32u4 erase --force && \
+ dfu-programmer atmega32u4 flash <your_downloaded_file>.hex && \
+ dfu-programmer atmega32u4 launch
+ ```
+
+ * Run commands from the directory where you saved your `.hex` file
+ * Put controller into programmable mode(bootloader) by hitting the red button located on your controller
+ * Once in this mode, you will no longer have access to your HHKB, you need other keyboard to input the commands or mouse to copy and paste.
+ * `erase` clears existent firmware on flash memory
+ * `flash` loads new firmware you downloaded
+ * `launch` restarts keyboard
+ * See `man dfu-programmer` for details
+ * Replug controller and redo the process when you are in trouble
+
+ * `sleep 20` gives you time to switch your controller to a programmable mode
+ These commands execute automatically once the ~ 20 seconds have passed.

+## HHKB Internals
See [doc/HHKB.txt](doc/HHKB.txt) and files under [doc/](doc/) for internal of HHKB and this controller.
-##Build Firmware & Program
-See [this document](../../doc/build.md) first.
+## Build Firmware & Program
+See [this document](../../tmk_core/doc/build.md) and [this](https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/wiki#build-firmware) first.
### Configuration
-Set `MCU`, `BOOTLOADER_SIZE` and other build options in `Makefile` and `config.h`.
+Build options and firmware settings are available in `Makefile` and `config.h` or `config_rn42.h`.
-### Build
-Several version of keymap are available in advance but you are recommended to define your favorite layout yourself. Just `make` with `KEYMAP` option like:
- $ make KEYMAP=[hasu|hhkb|spacefn|<name>]
+### Keymap
+To define your own keymap create file named `keymap_<name>.c` and see [keymap document](../../tmk_core/doc/keymap.md) and existent keymap files.
-### Program
-First, push reset button on board to start bootloader.
-
-This command programs the controller with [dfu-programmer] if the tool is intalled and configured properly.
+### Build
+Several version of keymap are available in advance but you are recommended to define your favorite layout yourself. Just `make` with `KEYMAP` option like:
- $ make dfu
+ $ make -f Makefile.<variant> KEYMAP=<name> clean
+ $ make -f Makefile.<variant> KEYMAP=<name>
-Or you can also use [FLIP] command to program. Also the tool should be intalled and configured properly. FLIP GUI app is also available.
+`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.
- $ make flip
-Use [Teensy Loader] if your controller is Teensy/Teensy++.
+### Program
+First, push reset button on board to start bootloader.
+This command programs the controller with [dfu-programmer] if the tool is installed and configured properly.
-##Keymap
-To define your own keymap create file named `keymap_<name>.c` and see keymap document(you can find in top README.md) and existent keymap files.
+ $ make -f Makefile.<variant> KEYMAP=<name> dfu
+Or you can also use [FLIP] command to program. Also the tool should be installed and configured properly. FLIP GUI application is also available.
-##Hardware
-You have some options for hardware. Development boards with USB AVR family(ATMega32U4, AT90USB1286) like Teensy will work while MegaAVR with [V-USB] library is also cheapear option for DIY.
+ $ make -f Makefile.<variant> KEYMAP=<name> flip
