 Hardware os based on a single ATtiny2313 microprocessor.
 
 Original design indended to retrofit an analog Vox VFS5 footswitch to control am Axe-Fx II effect processor by Fractal Audio Systems.
+
+## Hardware Specs
+
+Hardware is designed to work with a power supply of 7 to 25V DC which is suitable for a standard 9V DC power supply or battery which is common for effect pedals.
+
+The logic is powerd by a Atmel/Microchip ATtiny2313 processor, which can be swapped with about any AVR controller proividing 8 I/O ports and a USART interface.
+MIDI signal is directly connected to the USART output (active low) of the controller and the 5V DC supply of the board through two 220 Ohm resistors.
+
+| Pin on Controller | Pin on MIDI Jack | Function               |
+|:-----------------:|:----------------:|:----------------------:|
+| X5.1              | 2                | Ground                 |
+| X5.2              | 5                | Signal through 220 Ohm |
+| X5.3              | 4                | +5V through 220 Ohm    |
+
+
+The provided layout is perfboard compatible with a more or less minimal layout to fit into the footswitch casing without removing the original PCB.

+
+As documented, the _CH4_ Button does not enable Channel 4 as expected, but sets the effect processor into tuner mode (which bypasses the output, so implicit mute).
+Thus you effectively control 3 channels on each bank 1 and bank 2.
+
+The LED is green for Bank 1 and red for Bank 2. When in tuner mode the LED flashes in the current color with a frequency of about 2 Hz.
