+# OpenPilot Custom Modifications
+
+This repository contains custom modifications to OpenPilot(steering and accelaration), including updates to the keyboard and joystick control files.
+
+## Modified Files
+
+1. **Keyboard Control File:**
+   - File: `tools/lib/keyboard_ctrl.py`
+   - Description: Custom changes to the keyboard control logic to integrate with the new GUI button.
+   - Path in Repository: [tools/lib/keyboard_ctrl.py](https://github.com/Sage-A/openpilot/blob/ADbranch/tools/lib/keyboard_ctrl.py)
+
+2. **Joystick Control File:**
+   - File: `tools/sim/joystick_control.py`
+   - Description: Modifications to the joystick control to handle new input methods, including GUI-based control.
+   - Path in Repository: [tools/sim/joystick_control.py](https://github.com/Sage-A/openpilot/blob/ADbranch/tools/sim/joystick_control.py)
+   
+## How to Set Up
+
+Find instructions on how to set up/build Openpilot in the README.md file in openpilot/tools.
+Find instructions on how to run MetaSim in the README.md file in openpilot/tools/sim.
