Pretty much what it says on the tin. Connect to a USB port and it shows up as a keyboard. Use the key to toggle Morse code characters.
What Works : It sends characters through the USB port and beeps out dashes and dots.
What needs Fixing ( ) :
-Have a potentiometer that controls the input speed rate, or just switches to toggle slow, medium and fast
- add in a little more intelligent processing of Morse recognition
- add in a Shift signal to toggle between upper and lower case
- replace the DigiSpark with an ESP8266 to allow it to send and receive tweets
I don't recall where I found the original code, but there are plenty of examples out there.
Quite envious of that nice "Bunnell" style key. Do you have more data on it? Manufacturer or date? That baseplate is huge! Is it original? I like the idea of intergrating the sounder and micro into the key. I usually make external units for that. Did one recently actually. It's here on my IO page : https://hackaday.io/project/7110-morse-key-hid-ugly-hack
I tried a potentiometer to set WPM, but generally I just set it to 13 (I think) and that is good enough for me. I also had a capslock option on my first sounder but that was just silly.
There is another device I made for a costumer that is quite a bit more involved. I'm going to write a project page on that one until it isn't under embargo but I do have a short video what it does : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BISIg2jcUIA
