|
Target MCU is ATMega32u4 but other USB capable AVR will also work.
|
|
Supported keyboards: Sun Type 5 Keyboard, CTCSP SHORT TYPE KEYBOARD(CKUB)

Protocol
|
|
--------
|
|
Signal: 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 external 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.

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

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