It had counted 1837237 seconds since inception, which equates to 21.26 days. With a certain degree of regret I had to unplug my LCD shield which was occupying the only free USB port on my computer. So after an hours fiddly work soldering up the necessary links it was time to test this thing. In less than half an hour the below diagram which is missing from the book was emailed over by Jack (W8TEE) and Dennis (W6DQ). After several hours and a growing spider web of pencil on my circuit layout diagram I decided to wing it and emailed the authors directly, as the publishers’ support page was less than useless. I started working my way through the circuit schematic after a considerable amount of Google time looking for publishing errata, with zero success. There’s no help with wiring up the components on the prototyping shield. It was at this point I noticed there’s one all mighty faux pas in Arduino Projects for Amateur Radio. Here’s the partially completed shield prior to making all of the necessary wiring connections. So after playing with Asian QRP transceivers for the past few weeks/months it was time to get things back on track and crack on with all things CW & Morse.Īfter successfully building the LCD Shield portion of this project the next stage was the actual decoder shield.
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.

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. 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!
