Curiosa
Back in 1984 i did my military training (i.e. “Lumpen”) as a radio telegraphist, in the Navy. Although I don’t practice it any more, it still amuses me. I know there is a worldwide community of CW keying enthusiast out there. This is to them: a chat app solely based on morse keying.
I would very much like to integrate a physical key to the 3,5mm audio output of a device. Have a mini key and a 4-pinn to two 3-pinn junction. Only thing left to figure out, is the right resistors to match the onboard resistivity thresholds, to trigger an on/off behavior. I.e. to mimic a button on the chord of a headset.
