This circuit is a Semi Automatic Paddle Practice
Oscillator, I built to practice Morse code. It' similar to the paddle key for the ICOM IC-718. Here is the video
This is different than a standard practice straight key, like my home made paddle?

It is Arduino compatible, I like to use a 6 pin header and a FTDI cable. It a lot easier to breadboard circuits.

Here is the Code ******************************************
int outPin = 9;
unsigned int frequency = 400;
unsigned long dotDuration = 60;
unsigned long dashDuration =
dotDuration * 3;
int dotPin = 7;
int dashPin = 8;
void setup() {
pinMode(dotPin, INPUT);
pinMode(dashPin, INPUT);
}
void loop() {
int dotVal=HIGH;
int dashVal=HIGH;
dotVal = digitalRead(dotPin);
dashVal = digitalRead(dashPin);
if (dotVal==LOW)
{
tone(outPin, frequency, dotDuration);
delay (200);
}
if (dashVal==LOW)
{
tone(outPin, frequency,
dashDuration);
delay (400);
}
}
