Langstone Update 27/10/20

Post by g4eml » Tue Oct 27, 2020 9:19 pm

I have added a Morse code beacon in addition to the existing Dots function.

The DOTS button has been renamed BEACON and when touched will show a sub menu with DOTS and CWID, touching either of these will switch to CW and start sending. Touching the red button will stop sending.

Two new items have been added to the Settings menu.

CW Ident
This is the CW text that will be sent in beacon mode. Only characters 0-9 A-Z / and space are currently supported.
A character is selected using the left and right mouse buttons and adjusted with the scroll wheel (Tuning Knob)
The maximum number of characters is 40.

CWID Carrier Time
The key is kept down for this amount of time between idents.
This can be adjusted using the scroll wheel.

Both of these items are stored in the Langstone.conf file. It might be quicker to edit this file if the Morse text is long.
Note that the Morse ident string in this file cannot include spaces. Use the Underscore character instead.
