Pocket Morse Code Learning Board - v.1

A pocket board, 80 x 55 mm, that teaches you to read Morse code. Its front is Dave Nathanson's Morse decoding chart: from Start, dots run one way and dashes the other, and every letter sits where its dots and dashes lead. Here every letter has its own LED. Press the key short for a dot and long for a dash, and the LED of the letter you have reached lights; pause, and it blinks. It runs on one CR2032 coin cell and sleeps between uses. The board was drawn with Youblob's Draw PCB, and its checks pass, but it has not been built yet.

2

The code it decodes

This board reads the International Morse code letters as ITU-R M.1677-1 gives them.
3

Read the chart

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 board the LEDs do the tracking. ITU-R M.1677-1: "A dash is equal to three dots."
4

The schematic

ATmega328P on its internal 8 MHz clock, straight from the coin cell; 27 LEDs charlieplexed on PC0-PC5 through six 330 Ω resistors; the key on INT0; a 2x3 ISP footprint.

The board

Two layers, 80 x 55 mm. The chart, LEDs and key on the front; the chip, resistors, capacitors and cell holder on the back.

Order the board

Open the board in KiCad and plot Gerber and drill files (File > Fabrication Outputs). Order a two-layer board, 1.6 mm thick, from any board maker that takes Gerbers.

Solder the parts

Back first: paste and reflow U1, R1-R7, C1-C3 and the cell holder BT1 with hot air. Then the front: the 27 red LEDs D1-D27 with pad 1 (cathode) as the board's assembly drawing shows, and the key SW1. Leave J1 empty. Clean off the flux, then test each LED's direction with the meter's diode test.

Set the fuses and upload

Do not use Burn Bootloader: the Pro board setting expects a crystal, and this board has none. Hold an ISP programmer's 2x3 pins on J1 and set the internal 8 MHz clock: avrdude -c usbasp -p m328p -U lfuse:w:0xE2:m -U hfuse:w:0xD9:m -U efuse:w:0xFF:m. Then, in the Arduino IDE, use Sketch > Upload Using Programmer.

Print the back shell

An open-front shell, 84.8 x 59.8 x 8.9 mm, with four standoffs for M2 screws, a slot to slide the cell out and a window under J1. PLA, 0.2 mm layers, 20 % infill, printed on its floor.

Fit the shell

The shell leaves 5.0 mm for the back parts: measure your cell holder with a cell in it before you print. Check the holder's open side faces the board's left edge, where the shell's cell slot is. Slide in a CR2032 and screw the board into the shell with four M2 self-tapping screws.

History and honest limits

The chart is **Dave Nathanson**'s (KG6ZJO), drawn in 2010 and shared as copyleft; his post says it is a novel way to decode by following a path. The letter codes are ITU-R M.1677-1's. The board, sizes, parts and timings are ours, drawn with Youblob's Draw PCB: its ERC and DRC pass with no errors and every LED's wiring was checked against the firmware by script, but it has not been built, flashed or tested.
