 # footswitch-rs
 
-This repository contains a C to Rust translation of the GitHub repository [rgerganov/footswitch](https://github.com/rgerganov/footswitch).
+This repository contains a C to Rust translation of the GitHub repository [rgerganov/footswitch](https://github.com/rgerganov/footswitch). Although I use footswitch-rs myself to manage my footswitch, the main purpose of its development was to practice Rust. Since I do not possess Apple hardware, I did not test this application on MacOS (unlike [rgerganov](https://github.com/rgerganov) did with the original footswitch). However, with some modifications, footswitch-rs should run on MacOS as well.
+
+This utility supports [PCSensor](http://www.pcsensor.com/) foot switches with the following `vendorId:productId` combinations:
+
+* `0c45:7403`
+* `0c45:7404`
+* `413d:2107`
+
+footswitch-rs can also be used together with [VIM Clutch](https://github.com/alevchuk/vim-clutch).
+
+
+## Installation
+
+First, make sure that Rust is installed on your computer.
+
+```bash
+curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh>
+```
+
+Then, clone this repository and use cargo to build it:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://git.dennispotter.eu/Dennis/footswitch-rs
+cd footswitch-rs
+cargo build --release
+```
+
+Optionally, install the application using:
+
+```bash
+cargo install
+```
+
+## Usage
+Information about the usage (of a subcommand) can be found by running:
+
+```bash
+footswitch-rs <subcommand> --help
+```
+
+or [on the utilities wiki page](https://git.dennispotter.eu/Dennis/footswitch-rs/wiki).
+
+## Hardware issues
+
+Several people have reported misbehaviors with the PCsensor footswitch due to hardware issues. If the pedal is continuously sending a keypress without being pressed, then most probably some of the elements do not make good contact with the PCB. Follow [the instructions that were posted on original footswitch repository](https://github.com/rgerganov/footswitch/issues/26#issuecomment-401429709) to verify and and fix this.
