Vail Adapter: Morse Code Key/Paddle to USB
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.

- 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.
