Open Source ESP32-S3 MAKCM (Kmbox Alternative)
Welcome to the MAKCM 2024 project! This is a new open-source implementation for remote injection of mouse control with passthrough, featuring dual ESP32-S3 microcontrollers based on RTOS and advanced task management over the traditional loop.
- To switch internal Phy to OTG disabling cdc/jtag on boot, please run the OTG bat file on both the left, then the right mcu port!
- To flash hold down boot button, then insert USB Cable
- The bat file will enable automatic install of python
- automatic install of the espidf python toolset
- Will then be asked to input com name ( please enter as COM??)
- Tool will then start and ask you to type BURN in caps
- Once mcu is switched you will not see further connections unless boot button is held down upon inserting, this is correct
- To flash bin, just hold boot upon inserting cable, mcu will boot cdc as normal, enjoy!
Update:
- Now included inside the firmware! Automatic PHY switch (EFUSE) on 1st boot!! Happens one time.
- High-Speed Communication: Supports 6Mbps com port communication speed for seamless performance.
- Dual ESP32-S3 MCUs: Utilizing two microcontrollers for enhanced processing power and efficiency.
- RTOS-Based Task Management: Using real-time operating system (RTOS) tasks over the conventional loop for better multitasking and system management.
- Automatic HID Report Descriptor Parsing: No need for custom firmware; the system automatically parses HID report descriptors.
- Future-Proof: The roadmap includes additional features such as controller support, eliminating the need for XIM.
- Internal PHY in OTG Mode: !Requires efuse burn!, ensuring the device no longer appears as anything other than device on boot.
- Ample Storage:
- 4MB Quad SPI Flash per MCU
- 2MB PSRAM per MCU
- JSON Streaming for USB Descriptors: All USB descriptors are easily accessible and followable via JSON streaming.
- Clean Codebase: Built with a focus on maintainability and readability.
- ** Espressif API ** The largest community based MCU team in the world!
- Add comprehensive controller support.
- Expand HID compatibility and features.
- Continue to optimize the RTOS tasks for more efficient use.
- Implement additional security measures.
- Implemented 4-stage debug logging.
- Both MCUs now share a COM port for debug logging.
- Made bottom MCU COM port redundant on DIY dev kit.
- Migrated to ISR Trigger for both UART0, UART1 (Hybrid Arduino/RTOS).
- Removed
vTaskDelay(1)on UART0 and UART1, enabling full-speed logging using interrupt triggers. - Verified and reduced task stack sizes (All tasks have a 500-byte high-water mark breathing space).
- Added
volatile bool+ Mutex onkm.movecommands (COM will always override mouse at any time for better mouse feel). - Implemented button state logging:
- Ensures that if a button is already up/down, any other sends will be ignored.
- Results in better mouse feel and avoids random clicks.
- added commands to adjust com port speed at any time for cheats that support (115k-5mpbs)
- Migrated tasks to separate
.cppfile for a cleaner look. - Tidied up
main.cpp. - General formatting improvements.
- Removed redundant code.
- Migrated ESPLOG to seperate log function to pass over uart1
- Set LED to use a task of its own (reducing usb task by 1024 bytes)
- Ongone: Fixed usb_host_transfer_free bug, sometimes API reponds invalid state (USB wont reconnect)
- All tasks verified with high-water mark (all tasks have 500 breathing space)
- general tidy up
- Run the tool follow the simple instuctions and get full debug log for any issues handling debive
