b56717b8 | 42 | Protocol |
97ee1be5 | 43 | -------- |
3ee5f565 | 44 | Signal: Asynchronous, Negative logic, 1200baud, No Flow control |
b56717b8 | 45 | Frame format: 1-Start bit, 8-Data bits, No-Parity, 1-Stop bit |
46 | ||
47 | AVR USART engine expects positive logic while Sun keyboard signal is negative. | |
3ee5f565 | 48 | To use AVR UART engine you need external inverter in front of RX and TX pin. |
b56717b8 | 49 | Otherwise you can software serial routine to communicate the keyboard. |
50 | ||
51 | This converter uses software method, you doesn't need any inverter part. | |

81 | Build Firmware | |
82 | -------------- | |
83 | Just use 'make' | |
97ee1be5 | 84 | $ cd sun_usb |
85 | $ make | |
b56717b8 | 86 | Then, load the binary to MCU with your favorite programmer. |

89 | Sun commands | |
90 | ------------ | |
91 | You can send Sun protocol commands with TMK `Magic` key combo. By default `Magic` key is `LShift` + `RShift`, `LAlt` + `RAlt' or `LMeta` + `RMeta`. | |
92 | https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard#magic-commands | |
93 | ||
94 | Following Sun specific commands are available. For example, to send 'Bell On' you can press `LShift` + `RShift` + `Up` keys simultaneously. | |
95 | ||
96 | ``` | |
