Details:
For a limited time, VE6LK and VE6TD are offering a kitting service for the W8BH Morse Tutor, ESP32 version. This is also known as a CW trainer and is an alternative to the Morserino-32 however with a much larger screen. You can see all of the details and build instructions on W8BH’s website. You can see a full demo of the kit in action on Kyle AA0Z’s New CW Operator’s Roundtable on YouTube.
As a finished device, it is capable to test your receiving skills with letters, words, numbers, callsigns or mixed content. It is also capable to challenge your sending skills with various on-screen games. With a companion unit you can send head to head. All of the details are here in the user manual.
Why would you buy from us? We source the parts, pretest the major components, kit them together and ship them out to you. Note, no power source or case or enclosure is provided but you can print one yourself with Dann’s 3D print files. Vince keeps his tutor in a small plastic case that would normally hold a sandwich at lunch time .. each to their own when it comes to enclosures 🙂 Update Jan 2025 – we may be able to supply you with a case – click here for details.
How does this compare to the popular Morserino-32? Both units do roughly the same thing with exercises to challenge you. Both will work head to head with another matching unit. The Morserino-32 has a built-in keyer and ships with integrated paddles. The W8BH tutor ships with a large colour screen which is easier for the eyes to read.
You’ll receive all of the parts to build a functional W8BH ESP32 Morse Tutor, consisting of the following parts:
- 2.8″ display module (note: this is a change from earlier offerings)
- ESP32 module
- Buck Converter board (power)
- PAM8403 Audio board
- 1/8″ stereo jacks (2)
- PCB Mount speaker
- Rotary Encoder
- 10K Log taper potentiometer
- SPST power slide switch
- Shorting jumper block
- 0.1″ female headers
- 0.1″ male header pins
- 10k and 20k resistor
- 0.1uf capacitor (2)
- Knobs for controls (2)
- Circuit board
We provide a programmed and pre-tested ESP32 module with the current firmware version (so that you don’t have to learn how to do this), and we verify the functionality of each screen, each speaker and buck converter. Note that no case or mounting hardware is provided.
Build difficulty is at a NOVICE level for this project. If you own a basic pencil soldering iron, solder and basic hand tools, this project may take you up to 2 hours. Experienced builders will complete this in under 1 hour.
This offer is a kitting service only and no warranty is expressed or implied.
