I am looking at using a picaxe in a CW keyer for ham radio use. I built a CW keyer using an 08M2 a couple of years back and it works great using an external paddle, but I would like to try making a touch keyer. Has anyone used picaxe "touch" feature for a CW keyer? I am mostly wondering if the touch inputs would be too
sensitive since they don't actually have to be touched to work, i.e. sensing proximity instead of actual physical contact....which would likely lead to a lot of keying errors.....my CW fist is bad enough...I don't need anything to make it worse Anyway, I would welcome feedback from anyone who may have used a picaxe in a CW touch keyer application.
