Sounded to me that they were just looking for a solution to the problem.
Article in QEX was about a geezer who's arthritis kept him from using a keyboard, but could still manage a bug!? I think you've got what he needs.

Thanks, Ron...very interesting. I wonder if my presenting it at FDIM might complicate things? I'll have to write and ask.

The source code and schematic from my FDIM talk on the Morse Code Tutor is now available in the Files section on SoftwareControlledHamRadio groups.io Group.


Please note that there are still some changes that I plan to make to the code, but I have no plans to change the hardware of the MCT. Al and I consider the MCT to be Open Source, subject to the MIT Open Source agreement. (This more-or-less means that you need to leave my headers in the files.)

Note that there are multiple files in the zip file and those files must all appear in the same project directory. There are also some non-standard headers used that are not part of the standard Arduino IDE. The URL for these non-standard headers are given after their #include directives in the MorseTutor.h header file. This is to be expected because the code uses the STM32F103 ("Blue Bill") microcontroller. This requires you to install the STM32F patch, and there are plenty of places to find help doing that. I used "Using the Arduino IDE with the STM32F" as my seach in DuckDuckGo (I'm done with Google) and found plenty of entries from which to choose, both videos and written.

Re: Morse Code Tutor

 

The current draw should be fine with a 7805. However, a buck converter is considerably more efficient and wastes less energy to heat loss.

Re: Display Protection boards

 

Hi Vince,

New to this group, so I hope this reply makes sense! I will take three protection boards, as kits, or populated. I'd prefer populated boards (aging eyes!), but whatever you decide works best for you. Don't lose money though! Thank you! Rick-K7PHM

The biggest problem with this isn't It's current capability, but it power dissipation. Even at 1 amp draw It's being asked to dissipate almost 10 watts. Touch a 10 watt resistor if you want to know how hot that is.

As I pursue the remaining parts for my JackAL build, I note that the 3.3V reg is specified as being a?Texas Instruments, LM1086IT-3.3/NOPB.

I may be confusing this with another part of the circuit, but I think some people have mentioned that this part may be marginal with its 1.3A rating.

I see that Mouser list a 2.0A 3.3V reg in a TO=220 package:


Would that part be more suitable?
