Peter Parker VK3YE came along to the Mini Maker Faire in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago, and picked up a KitTen (an Arduino-compatible board in kit form) while he was there. He's already used it for a bunch of interesting experiments, including attaching a radio transmitter to turn it into a Morse-code CQ caller and as a fox-hunt beacon!
Check out his cool video:

There is actually a very nice, well polished little Arduino library for Morse code generation here:

It could certainly make the coding a lot easier and cleaner than manually coding in dits and dahs and delays for every character in the Morse alphabet.

Looks like fun, but how did he pick one up on the day? I was there and you wouldn’t sell me anything..

Hi Kade, we were instructed not to sell anything because the Maker Faire was intended to be non-commercial, but some people took part in a soldering tutorial that happened to use some of our kits.
