+PC98 to USB keyboard protocol converter
+=======================================
Target MCU is ATMega32u4 but other USB capable AVR will also work.
-Supported keyboards: Sun Type 5 Keyboard, CTCSP SHORT TYPE KEYBOARD(CKUB)

Protocol
--------
-Singnal: Asynchronous, Negative logic, 1200baud, No Flow control
-Frame format: 1-Start bit, 8-Data bits, No-Parity, 1-Stop bit
-
- AVR USART engine expects positive logic while Sun keyboard signal is negative.
- To use AVR UART engine you need exteral inverter in front of RX and TX pin.
- Otherwise you can software serial routine to communicate the keyboard.
-
-This converter uses software method, you doesn't need any inverter part.
-
-
-Commands From System To Keyboard
- 0x01 Reset
- Keyboard responds with following byte sequence:
- Success: 0xFF 0x04 0x7F
- Fail: 0x7E 0x01 0x7F
- 0x02 Bell On
- 0x03 Bell Off
- 0x0A Click On
- 0x0B Click Off
- 0x0E LED
- followed by LED status byte:
- bit: 3 2 1 0
- LED: CapsLk ScrLk Compose NumLk
- 0x0F Layout
- Keyboard responds with 'Layout Response' 0xFE 0xXX
-
-Commands From Keyboard To System
- 0x7F Idle
- means no keys pressed.
- 0xFE Layout Response
- 0xFF Reset Response(followed by 0x04)

+Singnal: Asynchronous, Positive logic, 19200baud, Least bit first
+Frame format: 1-Start bit(Lo), 8-Data bits, Odd-Parity, 1-Stop bit
+
+This converter uses software method for testing purpose. AVR UART engine will work better.

Build Firmware
--------------
Just use 'make'
- $ cd sun_usb
+
+ $ cd pc98_usb
$ make
+
Then, load the binary to MCU with your favorite programmer.
