Pocket Morse Code Learning Board - v.3
The pocket Morse decoder with no circuit board to order. A 3D-printed card the size of a bank card carries Dave Nathanson's decoding chart engraved in its face, with an SMD LED behind a window at every letter. Press the key short for a dot and long for a dash, and the letter you have reached lights.
Everything inside is hand-wired with enamelled copper wire to an Arduino Pro Mini, running on one CR2032 coin cell. The design has not been built yet.

Dave Nathanson (KG6ZJO) drew his decoding chart in 2010: "Start with your finger at "Start Here". Then move your finger to track the Morse dots & dashes. You will arrive at the correct letter!" On this card the LEDs do the tracking: yellow-green at the dots, red at the dashes.

The card, 85.6 x 54 x 7.5 mm, with the chart engraved 0.5 mm deep, a window and LED pocket at each letter, the key hole, four screw bosses and the key-ring hole. Print it face down on a smooth bed: PLA, 0.12 mm layers, no supports.

Fit the LEDs
Press a 1206 LED into each pocket from the back, lens towards the window: yellow-green at the 14 dot rings and at Start, red at the 12 dash marks. Note each LED's cathode mark, then fix it with a tiny drop of glue at its edge, keeping the pads clean.

The 27 LEDs share six lines, D3 to D8, each LED between two of them. Wire each LED's + (anode) and - (cathode) pad to the lines below; the firmware expects exactly this.

Wire the card
Wire the card
Remove the Pro Mini's power LED. Solder a 150 Ω resistor to each of D3-D8 and run a 0.2 mm solderable enamelled wire from each resistor round the cavity as that line's bus. Solder short wires from every LED pad to its bus, as the wiring table says; the iron strips the enamel. Wire the key between D2 and GND, and the cell holder's + to VCC and - to GND. Check every LED with the meter's diode test.

Take the cell out. Connect a 3.3 V USB-to-serial adapter to the Pro Mini's programming pins, choose Arduino Pro or Pro Mini, ATmega328P (3.3V, 8 MHz), and upload. Start lights; key E (one short press) and E lights.

Glue the key into its hole, plunger through the face. Stick the Pro Mini and the cell holder to the lid's inside with double-sided tape, leaving the wires some slack, put a CR2032 in, and screw the lid on with four M2 x 6 self-tapping screws.

History and honest limits
History and honest limits
The chart is **Dave Nathanson**'s (KG6ZJO), drawn in 2010 and shared as copyleft. The letter codes are ITU-R M.1677-1's. The card, its sizes, parts, wiring and timings are ours. The model was checked for clashes and the firmware compiles with all 26 codes checked against ITU, but the card has not been printed, wired or tested.
