b56717b8 42Protocol
97ee1be5 43--------
3ee5f565 44Signal: Asynchronous, Negative logic, 1200baud, No Flow control
b56717b8 45Frame 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.

51This converter uses software method by default, so you don't need any inverter part. But
52it can also be built with 'make HARDWARE_SERIAL=y' to enable hardware serial if there
53is an inverter present. Good results have been obtained using a 74LS04 and hardware serial.

83Build Firmware
84--------------
85Just use 'make'
97ee1be5 86 $ cd sun_usb
87 $ make
b56717b8 88Then, load the binary to MCU with your favorite programmer.

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