Basic stamp editor for raspberry pi3/14/2024 ![]() ![]() Now, this project, while not beyond the reach of most people does require some background knowledge and abilities. It will send up to 30 programmed strings by using the Star and Pound buttons to shift the output. This contraption uses a touch circuit for manually sending CW, letter by letter and also employs a Basic Stamp microcontroller from Parallax that controls the timing of the touch circuit and sends pre-programmed strings of CW characters using a 3 x 4 number keypad. I then discovered there was more than one way to skin a cat or send him dits and dahs, if you prefer. Not only does the brain not work as quick as it used to, because of age and medications, my hands are a bit shakey. ![]() I soon discovered, though, that the old mind and body just wasn’t up to sending CW with a straight key or even paddles. I have my general license now and use phone (voice) most of the time but wanted to learn CW (Morse code) and make contacts that way as well. I am a ham radio guy and got into it a little late in life when I retired and had the time. I actually built this project some time ago but thought somebody might be able to use the idea.
