K3ng Keyer Schematic | Repack
: Match the software pins to your physical wiring. If you have custom PCB traces, this is where you "repack" the software to fit the hardware. keyer_hardware.h
This report provides an overview of the K3NG keyer schematic and possible repack with modern upgrades. If you're interested in building or modifying a K3NG keyer, I recommend exploring the various resources available online, including the original K3NG keyer documentation and community forums. k3ng keyer schematic repack

This is where beginners get RFI issues. The repack highlights:
The keyer circuit uses a simple interrupt-based approach to generate the Morse code dots and dashes. The microcontroller reads the key closure and generates the corresponding Morse code sequence.
