2 Nov 2015I'm now going to eat my words from when I made my first USB Morse code key . I said that using a microcontroller was overkill. The usb-serial cable worked well enough, but it had a couple of major problems: inconvenience and total lack of portability. Can you believe that the cheap cable required a driver to work on windows? And always having to run a python script couldn't be less convenient, not to mention it took up 10%-ish of your CPU when left running in the background. I used it for a while, but when I got a new laptop I just couldn't be bothered to set it up again.I'd been wanting to make something with USB for a while anyway. I spent a few hours reading through the USB specification but I just couldn't cope. I was planning on bit-banging it in assembler. Finally I gave up, bit the bullet, and used the V-USB library . This, once I finally got it to compile, was shockingly easy to use. The disappointing part is I still don't really understand USB at all.The most important aspect of this project is being a 'Human Interface Device' that doesn't require a driver. It presents itself as a USB keyboard. This means you can plug it into any computer and it works without a fuss. In addition, all of the processing is done by the chip, so there's no reason not to leave it plugged in all the time. When you connect it to a machine for the first time, you get a glorious message like this:The code is based on an example from the V-USB website called EasyLogger. It reads the ADC and emulates a keyboard to type the value. I essentially just translated my original script into C and squeezed it in. It uses the same character set as before, but one thing I added was holding down the key for much longer than the dash length triggers a backspace. The code is not beautiful or clever, but it's perfectly functional and was written extremely quickly. I started the project at about 3pm on Saturday, and I had to go out at 6pm, so I set myself that as a deadline andgot it finished in time.I left room around the chip to fit a test clip onto it and reprogram as needed. Currently that's the only way of adjusting the speed, although the current values do have a very wide tolerance. There's one pin unused, perhaps I could squeeze a trimpot onto it for external adjustment. Heh... the ATtiny85 was 90p, the USB connector, the piezo and the passives probably add up to 50p -- astoundingly, the whole thing cost less than the usb-serial cable of the first version.Bit messy but I was soldering at breakneck speed.Instead of a dictionary lookup for working out what was typed, I used one long string of comparisons. Tedious as it was to write it out like this, it was made much easier by this diagram from wikipedia. It also runs quite quick, as most characters can be identified in fewer than five comparisons. The keycodes I found here If you want to recreate this, the easiest way is to download EasyLogger and replace the main.c file with the code below. Alternatively, the compiled hex file is available here . (Remember to set the low fuse to C1 for the PLL clock source.) The project uses the example vendor and hardware IDs provided by Objective Development. There are a number of rules regarding the use of these, but I didn't pay too much attention since this is only for personal use.: The hex file linked to above may have been incorrect, I have fixed the link. The complete source code is also now available on github
