Club member James Hull KK4EOU developed this Interactive Morse Code Station for station N4WIS. The system allows two independent operators to send Morse code simultaneously using traditional telegraph keys, while custom software running on a Raspberry Pi decodes the signals and displays the characters on a shared monitor in real time.

Two Arduino Uno microcontrollers manage the display interfaces and keying inputs, enabling reliable operation of the dual-user system. By instantly translating the rhythmic patterns of dots and dashes into readable text, the station demonstrates how Morse code works and how it can be decoded electronically.

Designed especially with young visitors in mind, the Interactive Morse Code Station provides a hands-on, “kid-friendly” introduction to Morse code and offers an engaging gateway into the world of Amateur Radio.

Morse code, developed in the 1830s and long used for telegraph and radio communication, remains an important skill and tradition within the Amateur Radio community.
