Vail Adapter: Morse Code Key/Paddle to USB

Vail adapter, assembled and connected

Features

  • Lets you key even if you move focus to another window
  • Works with Vail
  • Works with VBand
  • Optional sidetone generator for straight keying, which helps with latency
  • Free firmware updates for life
  • Can be wired up in about 5 minutes

Vail Adapter benefits video (4:46)

Setting Up

Future Work

Things I plan to add:

  • Local keyer logic for Ultimatic, Iambic, etc.
  • Local keyer generating sidetones
  • Vail site sends MIDI note events to the adapter, so you don't need your computer speaker on to listen.

Similar projects

  • Vail user Michele Giugliano's MorsePaddle2USB, which runs on a DigiSpark (attiny85). It only sends keystrokes, so you must keep the Vail window focused: you can't switch to other apps and still transimit.
  • Ham Radio Solutions sells a USB Paddle Interface which appears to be very similar to Michele's project. You must keep the Vail window focused.
  • CWKeyboard looks almost exactly the same as the VBand adapter.
