Alternative Controller for HHKB Pro
|
|
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
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. For this purpose I used PJRC [Teensy++][Teensy] as alternative controller.

My keyboard firmware source tree is here: http://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard
|
|
|
|
See directory keyboard/hhkb to build firmware for HHKB.

##Features
|
|
|
|
* Customizable keymap
|
|
|
|
* More keymap layers(more Fn keys)
|
|
|
|
* Mouse keys
|
|
|
|
* USB NKRO
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
###Pros
|
|
|
|
* Without PCB trace cutting, case mod or any destructives
|
|
|
|
* Can keep original controller intact
|
|
|
|
* Can change all HHKB behaviour as you like
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
###Cons
|
|
|
|
* Void your warranty
|
|
|
|
* Lose USB hub function in case of Pro2

##DISCLAIMER
|
|
|
|
I'm not a professional of electronics or MCU programming. This may damage your HHKB.
|
|
|
|
And my English writing is poor, I'm not sure I can convey my notions accurately.

##Build Firmware
|
|
|
|
You can choose some combination of MCU and USB protocol stack.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Teensy++(AVR USB family) with [LUFA]
|
|
|
|
0. Edit **matrix.c** to use your pin configuration. See doc/HHKB.txt for detail.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Edit **keymap.c** to use your favoirte keymap.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Edit **Makefile** if you want to use other `MCU` than Teensy++ 2.0.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Build firmware binary file:
|
|
|
|
`$ make -f Makefile.lufa`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Program MCU with PJRC [Teensy Loader] tool. If you install command line version of the loader just run:
|
|
|
|
`$ make -f Makefile.lufa teensy`
|
|
|

###AVR Mega with [V-USB]
|
|
|
|
Follow below if you want to use AVR with V-USB as .
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
0. Edit **matrix.c** to use your pin configuration. See doc/HHKB.txt for detail.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Edit **keymap.c** to use your favoirte keymap.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Edit **usbconfig.h** to configure V-USB options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Edit **Makefile.vusb** to define `MCU` and `F_CPU`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Build firmware binary file:
|
|
|
|
`$ make -f Makefile.vusb`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Program MCU with AVR programmer like AVRISPmkII. If you already have [USBaspLoader] on MCU just run:
|
|
|
|
`$ make -f Makefile.vusb program`
|
|
