- CW Keyer with capacitive touch paddle,
with a lot of nice features:
- speed variable with encoder (5-40 wpm)
- polarity of paddle can be changed (dots on left or right paddle)
- Iambic A, B, enhanced B, and Ultimatic mode
- pitch control
- output volume control
- CW Trainer, outputs:
- speed variable with encoder (5-40 wpm)
- characters in groups of 5 (alpha, numeric, interpuctuation, pro signs, mixed)
- ham radio call signs
- usual ham radio abbreviations and Q groups
- you can increase length of pauses (aka Farnsworth method)
- easily expandable to a Morse
code decoder (already implemented in the software):
- just add an op-amp and a few passive components (there is enough room on the PCB) to feed audio from a receiver
- also decodes manual key input
- menu and settings accomplished with rotary encoder
- 2x16 character LCD display
- runs on 9V battery, or 5V from USB connector (easily to adapt for LiPo battery etc.)
- built-in speaker, headphone jack
- jack to connect a transsceiver
- one unwired jack for your own purpose
- software supports external mechanical paddles (needs just some wiring)
- CW decoder supports straight key (just wiring necessary to connect external key, or use the touch sensors as a straight key / sideswiper) – you can key up your TRX with the manual key and read your code on the display)
- minimal and cheap hardware, based on an Arduino Nano
- all functionality done in software (which is open source, BTW)
- complete kit including PCB, all parts and drilled case is available for €36 plus postage (send an email to: oe3hbs@oevsv.at ) UPDATE: Kits are sold out and will not be re-published. PCBs only might be available if there is enough interest! See http://morserino.info for more details!
- full documentation (manual currently only in German) and source code is available on bit.ly/metamorserino. User interface is in English, as are comments in the source code.
- UPDATE: a next generation Morserino is in development phase. See http://morserino.info for more information.
