hello world

you know what this could mean for science

The latest code r16 prints out the following in response to pressing the HWD key on the AVRopendous:

b

7A25
0513
7512
0000
b
8C94
91CB
0537
126F
0000
b
A0B5
A582
04CD
0EEA
0000
a
F3BD <-- timestamp 1
14B5 <-- timestamp 2
20F7 <-- pulse length
4E3B <-- pause length
0000

Also I found oloh after looking at videos about android where Jeff Sharkey mentions he used zebra crossing in his compare everywhere application to decode bar codes for comparing products.

new google code project

I created a google code project for the code for the cw or morse code keyboard. It's called morsekeyboard. The AVRopendous works great as a USB keyboard. Decoding the dits and dahs is next.

Or maybe this might work best since I can develop for AVR chips with gcc. It's the AVRopendous http://code.google.com/p/avropendous. Cost is $20.

It comes with keyboard controlling firmware too. As you can see it types keys when he grounds the pins.

USB Bit Whacker

This board is the USB Bit Whacker or UBW. It's the cheapest USB capable PIC at $25.

Another one

This board might work too. It's from sparkfun.

CW to USB keyboard

I haven't built the cw to usb keyboard yet, but when I do I'll use the CUI and it might take more than a month. Christopher G. Prince sent a byte from linux to the CUI in about that amount of time. Simon Gustafsson had the same idea in at least 2007. JonM who presented on HAM radio at defcon directed me to this microcontroller from TI. It doesn't do I/O via USB though, but it is waiting for me in a fedex package for half the price of the CUI.
