310 Feature: Command Line Interface
The keyer has a serial Command Line Interface (CLI) using the built in Arduino USB port or AVR serial port. This is enabled by uncommenting this line in keyer_features_and_options.h:
#define COMMAND_LINE_INTERFACE
Simply connect to your computer and use a terminal program such as the Arduino serial port program or Putty. If you use the Arduino program, it’s recommended that you set it for carriage return (lower right).
To use the CW keyer functionality, simply type in what you want to send. In the Arduino serial interface you will need to hit Enter to send the data to the keyer for it to start sending. Programs like Putty will immediately send the characters and the keyer will send the code immediately as well.
Commands are preceded with a backslash (” \ “), the key above your Enter key (at least on US PC keyboards). To see a help screen, enter backslash question mark ” ? ” (no quotes). The status command (\s) is a useful command for viewing various settings and seeing the contents of the memories. If you enter a double backslash (“\\”), all sending buffers will be cleared and any memory sending will stop (this includes sending invoked by the PS2 keyboard or Winkey interface protocol emulation features).
