+# ESP-IDF Migration Guide
+
+This document describes the migration from Arduino Framework to ESP-IDF for the PsychOS keyboard firmware.
+
+## Overview
+
+The firmware has been completely rewritten to use ESP-IDF instead of the Arduino framework while maintaining all functionality. This provides better performance, more control, and access to native ESP32-S3 features.
+
+## Key Changes
+
+### 1. Framework Configuration
+
+**platformio.ini**
+- Changed `framework = arduino` to `framework = espidf`
+- Updated build flags and include paths
+- Added TinyUSB configuration flags
+- Updated library dependencies
+
+### 2. Build System
+
+**platformio.ini**
+- Updated framework to `espidf`
+- Configured build flags and include directories
+- Specified library dependencies
+
+**sdkconfig.defaults**
+- Configured TinyUSB for USB HID
+- Enabled Bluetooth (Bluedroid)
+- Set FreeRTOS parameters
+- Configured SPI, RMT, GPIO, and other peripherals
+
+### 3. Compatibility Layers
+
+Created wrapper headers to maintain code compatibility:
+
+#### arduino_compat.h
+- GPIO functions (pinMode, digitalWrite, digitalRead)
+- Timing functions (millis, micros, delay, delayMicroseconds)
+- Serial class for UART communication
+- SPI class for display communication
+- Basic Arduino macros and constants
+
+#### usb_hid_compat.h
+- USBHIDKeyboard class using TinyUSB
+- USBHIDConsumerControl class
+- HID key code definitions
+- TinyUSB descriptor configuration
+
+#### ble_compat.h
+- BLE class using ESP-IDF Bluetooth stack
+- BLEService, BLECharacteristic, BLEDevice classes
+- String class for compatibility
+
+#### neopixel_compat.h
+- Adafruit_NeoPixel class using RMT peripheral
+- LED strip control via ESP-IDF led_strip component
+
+#### encoder_compat.h
+- ESP32Encoder class using PCNT (Pulse Counter)
+- Full quadrature encoder support
+
+### 4. Main Entry Point
+
+**main.cpp**
+- Changed from `setup()` and `loop()` to `app_main()`
+- Added NVS initialization (required for BLE)
+- Added TinyUSB initialization
+- ESP-IDF logging integration
+
+### 5. Source Code Updates
+
+All source files updated to:
+- Include compatibility headers instead of Arduino.h
+- Use ESP-IDF-specific features where appropriate
+- Replace Arduino String with printf for efficiency
+- Use soc/gpio_struct.h for direct GPIO register access
+
+## Components Used
+
+### ESP-IDF Native
+- FreeRTOS (task management)
+- NVS (non-volatile storage)
+- GPIO driver
+- SPI master driver
+- PCNT (pulse counter for encoder)
+- RMT (for NeoPixel)
+- Bluetooth stack
+- TinyUSB
+- LED strip component
+
+### External Libraries
+- Adafruit GFX Library
+- Adafruit BusIO
+- Adafruit ILI9341 (display driver)
+
+## Building
+
+### Prerequisites
+```bash
+pip install platformio
+```
+
+### Build
+```bash
+cd source
+pio run
+```
+
+### Flash
+```bash
+pio run -t upload
+```
+
+### Monitor
+```bash
+pio device monitor
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Key settings are in `sdkconfig.defaults`:
+
+- **USB**: TinyUSB HID enabled for keyboard functionality
+- **Bluetooth**: Bluedroid stack for BLE module communication
+- **CPU**: 160MHz for power savings
+- **FreeRTOS**: 1000Hz tick rate
+- **SPI**: In-IRAM mode for display performance
+- **RMT**: ISR-safe for NeoPixel reliability
+
+## Differences from Arduino
+
+### Advantages of ESP-IDF
+1. **Better performance**: Native ESP32-S3 code without Arduino overhead
+2. **More control**: Direct access to all ESP-IDF features
+3. **Better debugging**: Comprehensive logging and debugging tools
+4. **Smaller binary**: No Arduino framework overhead
+5. **Professional tooling**: Industry-standard IDF build system
+
+### What Changed
+1. **No `loop()`**: FreeRTOS tasks handle everything
+2. **Different USB**: TinyUSB instead of Arduino USB
+3. **Native BLE**: ESP-IDF Bluetooth stack
+4. **Direct peripheral access**: No Arduino wrappers
+
+### What Stayed the Same
+1. **All functionality**: Every feature works as before
+2. **Task structure**: FreeRTOS tasks unchanged
+3. **Pin assignments**: Same hardware configuration
+4. **User experience**: Identical behavior
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Build Issues
+- Ensure ESP-IDF is properly installed via PlatformIO
+- Check that all include paths are correct
+- Verify sdkconfig.defaults is loaded
+
+### USB Not Working
+- Check TinyUSB configuration in tusb_config.h
+- Verify USB descriptors in usb_hid_compat.cpp
+- Ensure GPIO 19/20 are configured for USB
+
+### BLE Issues
+- Verify Bluetooth is enabled in sdkconfig
+- Check BLE stack initialization in main.cpp
+- Ensure proper service/characteristic UUIDs
+
+### Display Issues
+- Verify SPI pins in main.cpp
+- Check SPI initialization in displayHandler.cpp
+- Ensure Adafruit libraries are compatible
+
+## Future Improvements
+
+1. **Full BLE implementation**: Complete the BLE compatibility layer
+2. **UART serial**: Implement proper UART driver instead of printf
+3. **Performance tuning**: Optimize task priorities and stack sizes
+4. **Power management**: Implement ESP-IDF power management
+5. **OTA updates**: Add over-the-air firmware update support
