Morse Code paddle/ CW Key (basic components)

I didn't have any of the components listed in the BOM and I really just needed something to tinker with on the breadboard while developing my bluetooth controller/keyer for morse mania.


I kept running into issues with the screws shearing my braided wires when building it per the original instructions. So I added holes to the paddle to allow me to route the wires externally and connect via a nut on a longer bolt. It works super well.

not sure if this will help anyone but all you need is some wire and 3m bolts/nuts.
