avr-amiga-controller -------------------- This software will allow you to control an Amiga using your PC keyboard and mouse - without unplugging them from your PC. It works as follows: - You run a synergy server on your PC (http://synergy-foss.org) - You configure a hotkey to switch to screen "amiga". - The input from PC is redirected to the synergy-hw client (Find this in the hostapp directory.) - The firmware is flashed to an Atmega32U2 board (such as minimus 32 AVR) - synergy-hw streams input to the AVR. - The AVR emulates bus mouse and amiga keyboard signals (at hardware level) Of course, you also need to build correct cabling to connect the AVR to the Amiga keyboard and mouse ports. The mapping is like this AVR Amiga (Bus Mouse) Mouse port PB4 XA PB5 XB PB6 YA PB7 YB PC4 LEFT MOUSE BUTTON PC5 RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON PC6 MIDDLE MOUSE BUTTON GND GND AVR Amiga Keyboard Port PD0 CLOCK PD1 DATA GND GND To compile it, you need to get LUFA library and put the path in the firmware/Makefile. Then run make from top level to build both parts of the software. To flash the firmware to your board and to run synergy-hw you need to give your user permission on the AVR usb device. Put this in /etc/udev/rules.d/minimus.rules: SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", ATTR{idVendor}=="03eb", ATTR{idProduct}=="*", GROUP="plugdev" SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="add", ATTR{idVendor}=="f055", ATTR{idProduct}=="*", GROUP="plugdev" (First line is for the bootloader, for flashing. Second line is the device when running this firmware. Your user needs to be in group plugdev.) Make a synergy.conf like this: section: screens linux: amiga: end section: options keystroke(super+a) = lockCursorToScreen(on), switchToScreen(amiga) keystroke(super+z) = switchToScreen(linux), lockCursorToScreen(off) relativeMouseMoves = true end Launch synergys using this config: synergys -f -c synergy.conf -n linux Launch synergy-hw (no argument necessary, screen name and server address are hardcoded) Press windows-a to flip to Amiga Press windows-z to return to PC. While controlling Amiga, pressing End will reboot the Amiga.
