![]() In the words of Adam Savage once again, “ In the spirit of science, there really is no such thing as a “failed experiment.” Any test that yields valid data is a valid test.” THEY FOUND THAT THE NOISE AT THE POLE WAS FROM THE PHONEĬOMPANY DROP AT THE SAME POLE AND THEY COULD FIND NO NOISE FROM THEIRĮQUIPMENT, EVEN AFTER CAREFULLY DRIVING ALL THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD. HAS THE UNDERGROUND DROP TO MY HOME AND FIGURED THAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM.ĮVENTUALLY THE UTILITY COMPANY CAME TO MY HOUSE TO INVESTIGATE MY NOISEĬOMPLAINT. I WALKED MY NEIGHBORHOOD WITH A PORTABLE RADIO TUNED TO THEīOTTOM END OF THE AM BROADCAST BAND. ‰ NOW 15 WPM ‰ TEXT IS FROM JANUARY 2015 QST PAGE 68 ‰ĬOMPANY. This is the Morseduino having a go at a 15 word per minute file from the ARRL Morse Practice Archive for January 6 2016. The proof was in the smoke test! Video attached There are a selection of jumpers provided for testing throughout the build which is a nice touch. The build isn’t difficult but I needed a working reference point to fault find the prototype board, so I took my time. The PCB is very nicely finished and after a few hours of gently paced work I had this.Īs a nice touch Budd had personalised the code on the Atmega with my callsign! This was my hour of need and seemed as good as any to see what we could do with it! I’d gone one step further and taken Budd up on his offer of the full kit with precoded Atmega PIC to save more time and hassle. That landed a few weeks ago from the good old US of A and had been sat here waiting for me to have a look at it. As much as this was a journey of discovery and development, if someones got a thing and it’s vaguely round and turns you buy it, you don’t reverse engineer a Bridgestone just for the fun of it! A bit of a result on the scale of things. As an added bonus he had a few left over from a batch he had made and was selling them. ![]() When I was Googling around I came across an OSHPark PCB file which the designer Budd Churchward WB7HC had released as an open source project. Thankfully, when I was researching the long term plans for this project I was aiming for a single board finished product based on Prototino board. The flashing light and download buttons do not currently work when in "Telegraph" mode.OK, so I needed to have a point of reference for debugging the Arduino Morse Decoder because despite the best efforts of Arduino Projects for Amateur Radio, there were a few things that need answering or obvious points of assistance which are conspicuous by their absence! The "Configure" button reveals advanced options to control the frequency and speed and switch between telegraph and radio sound styles. You can choose between hearing the sound, seeing a flashing light, or having your phone vibrate using the "Sound", "Light" and "Vibrate" checkboxes. The "Play", "Pause", "Stop" and "Repeat" buttons control the playback. If a letter cannot be translated a "#" will appear in the output. The text translation will appear in the bottom box. Letters are separated by spaces and words by "/". You can type Morse code into the top box using "." for a dot and "-" or "_" for a dash. This is not a great tool for learning Morse code as looking at the dots and dashes does not help. Just type letters, numbers and punctuation into the top box and the Morse code will appear in the bottom box with a "#" if the character cannot be translated. ![]()
