CH554 USB MOUSE + KEYBOARD <-> AMIGA X-LATER

USB MOUSE + KEYBOARD <-> AMIGA X-LATER based on the WCH554 MCS51 based chip with USB Device + Host Interface.

Overview

This project allows you to use a USB mouse or keyboard on an Amiga computer - of course only one-or-the-other is supported at any one time. It essentially converts a USB mouse to generate a quadrature signal stream, similarly it converts a USB keyboard keycodes (currently only DE is implemented) to work with an Amiga. There are many variants of such a project available, either using this micro controller or others, however I'm using this project as an opportunity to learn more about the WCH55x micro controller.

Appearance Breadboard Version

I forgot to take a picture of the mess of wires breadboard version, so here is a picture on some perf-board instead. I'm using the USB B socket for debugging and the USB A socket is for the Mouse Connection. Of course only 1 device (either PC for debugging or Mouse for using) can be connected. I got the two USB sockets from an old printer board I found lying around the house.

Appearance Final PCB Version

PCB version has been routed and manufactured for supporting a mouse or keyboard. Here is the usual 3D artwork of the design.

OLED is also supported so you can see some information for example keyboard and mouse report data.

I refacted a lot of the original libraries into various software components. However there were some repos which provided me with excellent information, tools and resources;
