Some people might consider Morse Code a dead language, certainly ancient history, not the stuff of Sci/Fi or the future...

These people need to get out more...

Morse Code is amazing-  with it and a handful of inexpensive parts  and a battery you can build a radio and communicate around the world.

My project consists of a Seeduino, (a very small Arduino) a 3d printed case, a micro jack some wire,  a USB-c/USB cable and software that will let you connect up either a simple key (1 contact) or a paddle (2 contacts) to any device that supports a USB keyboard.

The gadget converts the users tapping to characters and then types them via the USB cable.  You can then hook up to a computer, laptop, tablet, iPhone, or Android and use a CW Key/Paddle to type.

That in itself opens up amazing possibilities, Texting with CW key... word processing with one button...

The reason I wanted to be able to do this is I am creating video games to help people learn Morse code.  Many many apps and programs will play Morse code for you to learn.  Very Very few let you play it back.  The gadget also allows you to use gamification to improve your Morse Sending, by analyzing your speed and rhythm and helping you improve.

The .stl files and plans  and code are in the files section of this page.so that anyone who wants to, can easily build one.
