ECONOMICAL KEYER........ Using the
NØXAS PicoKeyer chip. Features a 60 character memory, setup & message entry using a paddle and no battery
is required to retain the memory. It works FB both as a "stand alone" Rig keyer or
a continuous beacon.
Minimal parts on board..... Transistor, Resistor, Capacitor and the
PIC12F629 chip... although, I've added some.. see lower pic.
OUTSIDE..... 1 Stereo 1/8" jack, 3 mono 1/8 jacks, momentary
"pushbutton" and 1 DPDT switch.... I used 1/4 jacks for the second
one.
A good "weekend" project for
the slightly electronically
inclined Operator.
OK, Now I have completed the second one.... surprising how the experience of doing a project the first time enhances the design of the second one...
I updated the schematic to accommodate a later version of the PicoKeyer chip
