Sun to USB keyboard protocol converter
A converter for using non-USB Sun keyboards.
Original code from the TMK firmware. Ported to QMK by Yann Hodique.
Keyboard Maintainer: Yann Hodique
Hardware Supported: See hardware section below
Hardware Availability: self-built
Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
make converter/sun_usb/type5:default
See build environment setup then the make instructions for more information.
Hardware
Target MCU is ATMega32u4 but other USB capable AVR will also work. The maintainer mostly uses Teensy 2.0 boards. Supported keyboards: Sun Type 3 and 5 Keyboards,
Connector
8Pin mini DIN

7 GND GND
8 5V VCC
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.
