+# QMK-based firmware for ASkeyboard Sono1 keyboard with additional Sono2 numpad
+
+![Sono1](https://i.imgur.com/eb046DOh.jpeg)
+
+ASkeyboard Sono1 keyboard conversion project: direct connection of Black Pill to the matrix.
+
+* Keyboard Maintainer: [DmNosachev](https://github.com/DmNosachev)
+* Hardware Supported: [ASkeyboard Sono1](http://www5f.biglobe.ne.jp/~silencium/keyboard/html/alps.html), Black Pill STM32F103C8T6 MCU board. Alternatively you can use any MCU which is supported by QMK and has 28 IO pins or more (15x8 matrix and 5 LEDs): Teensy 2.0++, Blue Pill, etc.
+
+Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment):
+
+ make handwired/sono1:default
+
+See the [build environment setup](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_build_tools) and the [make instructions](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_make_guide) for more information. Brand new to QMK? Start with our [Complete Newbs Guide](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/newbs).
+
+# Modding
+
+## Matrix
+
+ASkeyboard Sono1 has 15x8 matrix. Sono2 numpad connects directly to the main matrix.
+
+Rows (R0-RE) and columns (R0-C7):
+![Sono1 rows and columns](https://i.imgur.com/5Owazg6h.jpeg)
+
+## LEDs
+Keyboard has 5 LEDs with common anode. Their cathodes are connected to R10–R14 resistors (you may want to replace them to adjust LED brightness for 3.3V voltage). Add 5 wire jumpers to connect them to the corresponding traces.

+## Black Pill
+Suggested mount position for the Black Pill (view from the bottom side of the PCB):

+Asterisk sign designates pins of the Black Pill that don't align properly with PCB and need to be rewired.

+
+1. Desolder all ICs, capacitors and resistors except R10–R14.
+1. Solder 4-pin SWD header to Black Pill.
+2. Burn [STM32duino bootloader](https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/STM32duino-bootloader/blob/master/bootloader_only_binaries/generic_boot20_pb12.bin) to Black Pill.
+3. Compile and flash the firmware: `make handwired/sono1:default:flash`
+4. Connect rows, columns and LED pads to the corresponding pins of the Black Pill.
+
+## Keymap
+'CUR LOCK' key on Sono2 numpad has locking switch by default (Alps SKCL lock). QMK [supports mechanical locking switches](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/faq_keymap?id=mechanical-lock-switch-support) for CapsLock, NumLock and ScrollLock keycodes.
