+# TataconUSB
+A small dongle to connect your Wii taiko controller to your computer as a USB
+device, instead of using Bluetooth.
+
+Due to 20ms input lag, I have abandoned this project. If a workaround is 
+discovered, I'd love to hear it. It appears to be inherent to the controller.
+
+##Building firmware:
+At console, run `make`. You will need AVR GCC installed.
+
+##Building hardware:
+Send the Gerbers for V2 to a PCB fab, or generate them yourself from the v0.2 tag
+files. Altium Designer was used, open TataconUSB.PrjPcb as the main file.
+
+Ground is unconnected in V2 (whoops!) so you'll need to solder 2 fly wires.
+Also, tie the HWBOOT pin to ground to enable easier programming.
+
+Tap the RESET pin to ground to drop the board into bootloader mode, then use
+Atmel's FLIP programmer to load the .hex.
