Hi, I am going to build a cw keyer and I wish to use I2C display to save pins. I have an I2C lcd adaptor module with PCF8574T chip on it, may I use it? Should I uncomment the following line?

I think the answer will be "no, you cannot", anyway I ask to see if there is some compatibility between chips that I am missing...
Thanks for helping hand Matteo IV3YNB

Thank you so much, I think this will solve the trouble.

Hi Matteo!
I’m glad that I could help you out. Please send me a Pm if you need any more help or advice with your keyer.
Are you using an Arduino Nano in your keyer?
If so, be warned that it has a limited amount of memory, and that puts a limit on the amount of options that you can enable in the source-code.
For instance, I wanted to enable the display option, and when I compiled the code, I got a ‘memory overflow’ warning. It simply did NOT fit in my Nano.
So I made another K3NG keyer, but now using an Arduino Mega, and my problem was solved.
Recently, they released a new Arduino model: The Arduino Nano Every.
The Arduino Nano Every is an evolution of the traditional Arduino Nano board, but has a much more powerful processor, ATMega4089. This will allow you to make larger programs than the Arduino Uno (it has 50% more program memory) and many more variables (RAM is 200% larger).
I’s pin compatible with the ‘old’ Nano, so this could be your rescue if you use a Nano in your keyer and need more memory!!

Thanks for the infos: I want to use an Arduino MEGA 2560 for the reasons you talked about. I'm not so much into Arduino so far, because I use to deal with Microchip PICs in MPLABX environment using C language.
I'll surely take a look at those new Arduino boards, simply for they'll have debug option in IDE 2.0: a feature that I am really missing in the 1.0 IDE, since I come from MPLABX environment.
73 de Matteo IV3YNB, one that would "run" on CW but... it's soooo hard ;-)
Well, I hated the standard Arduino IDE from the start. I’m now using the Microsoft visual Studio Code.
Or, if you are not really a MS fanboy, have a look at the ATOM editor.
I also used the (not free) Sublime text editor, which is amazingl!
Would be cool if you could send me a video of your working K3NG keyer when it’s up and running!!
BTW: I’m using Begali paddles!! Have the Stealth Limited (nr 33), and also the Graciella (a piece if Italian art!!)
I’m currently QRV using my wonderful ICOM IC-705 using a Bufdipole DeLuxe. Awsome combination!!

Cool... I hated it too since I bought my first Arduino Uno when it came first out on the market, so I left... I just got into Arduino once more because of in my new job they use to program some boards... Do these editors you talk about, feature "line by line" debugging and/or simulation/stimulus???
Would be cool if you could send me a video of your working K3NG keyer when it’s up and running!! <
Yes of course, I only have limited time to build it... please have patience :-D
I know Begali paddles, but I admire also your "Morsetasten" ;-)

It does!! Just set breakpoints and go debugging: Check this out:

OK, now I understand how it is possible to write long listings for Arduino boards, without entering hundreds of "serial print" commands !!!

Yes ! I always search for hams websites, usually starting from QRZ : it's very interesting to see "who's who" ;-)

Hi Matteo !
Just wondered how your cw keyer project is going.
Are you winning??

I am building it... I used an Arduino Mega 250 R3 connected to a 4x20 LCD via I2C and 6 buttons for command mode and macros. I am now focusing on WPM adjustment via pot. This because I have a pot "here and now", but I planned to do it with a rotary encoder that I like most... gotta find it my various junk boxes and drawers... A friend of mine gave me a sidesweeper key to try creating code, but it's quite slow and not reliable due to switch reed contacts: it is a 3D printed project realized for a QRS beginner course. Not good for operating as a Graciella is ;-) but it works to get dits and dats.
I wish to get WPM indications on two 7 segment led displays but I cannot recognize the variable in the code to manage and visualize on the displays... can you help me this way?
I'll take some pictures asap.
Hi Matteo!!
Yes, rotary encoders are absolutely needed! Don’t go for the standaard potmeter type.
I’m now investigating on adding a graphic touch display. That will be such a delight to use, especially macro functions.
And stay far from paddles with microswitches. Just use gold- or silverplated contacts.
In 1981 I found a el-bug design in the ELEKTOR magazine. It used microswitches, and it was really un-usable. I learned a LOT from it.
My first paddle was a Bencher BY-01. I loved it, and still use it.
If u need idea’s or help, let me know !!

WPM indication is not so hard to do. There IS a WPM variable available in the code.
Did you see the fantastic K3NG keyer that was made by your compatriot IZ3ZLU ?
