Open CW Keyer

Hi,

My Open CW Keyer always give a timeout connection error.
I replace arduinto nano with a new one and flash it from github (https://github.com/k3ng) with the same result.
By default the port is detected as CH340 - 9600, 8, n, 1 ,n
It's necessary to change anything in the firmware more than activate (uncomment) #define HARDWARE_OPENCWKEYER_MK2 in keyer_hardware.h, before compile and upload it?
The Comport defaults are ok?

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,

At this moment Log4Om is the only app that don't work wit my winkeyer (Open CW Keyer Mk2).
I have success with fldigi and win4icom.

I put the log to trace mode and the error message is:

2023-03-03 23:24:58.0989 INFO: [WinKeyerHardware] : Closing winkeyer...
2023-03-03 23:24:58.1045 ERROR: [WinKeyerHardware][OpenKeyer] : [EXCEPTION] A operação excedeu o tempo limite. System.TimeoutException: A operação excedeu o tempo limite.

The comport configuration is: 9600, 8, n, 1, n

Any help please?

Are you shure that this thing is Winkeyer USB compatible ? On the different sites i don´t see anything about this.
Log4OM only works with CW electronics that have the Winkeyer Chip included.

My is a Open CW Keyer MK2 (K3NG open source Arduino CW keyer with WinKey support).
I think it emulates winkey. The USB is a CH340.

You can see the kit, here: https://www.hamshop.cz/open-cw-keyer-c2 ... eyer-i196/

Jorge,

Possibly related in that your chosen device emulates Winkey 1.0 and 2.0 ...

Current version (and has been for some time) is K1EL WK 3.1

Can your chosen device be upgraded to the current version of the K1EL supported Winkeyer chip?

It's possible.
I think the emulation is just for Winkey 1.0 and 2.0.
If log4om only works with 3.1 protocol ...

The K3NG arduino cw keyer code is here: https://github.com/k3ng/k3ng_cw_keyer/ , and only have Winkey 2.0
