4 Homebrew Build of a Force Touch Sensing Morse Code Paddle

Video #4 - After interviewing Tim Keen K5DEZ back in 2020, he suggested I homebrew a simple Morse code paddle from a design he came up with. Tim's design was inspired by an article in QST Magazine by Art Heft K8CIT. He posted information about the project on the Summits on the Air reflector, here:

So close! Why is it we always seem to break or lose the one part that we don’t have a spare for LOL. I like your soldering station!

I had some setbacks but it's all part of the learning process, right? I'm inexperienced with this stuff.

I've got some of the parts for one like that sitting on my bench , , , Just gotta find the time! (and, order the rest of the parts, lol) 73 de Bill
