Hello! I've got a simple question that probably has a simple answer. I am BRAND spanking new to Arduino, I barely know what I'm doing, but I know how to copy and paste code and I can make circuits.
I'm trying to make a simple morse code key, and I know there are other topics on this but I'm trying to do something SUPER simple - I'm going to build and wire like a regular morse straight key (when you press the lever it makes contact with a plate, completing the circuit), but all I need to do is make that contact be a left click on my PC (or the [ or ] key).
Does that make sense? So how would I go about this? I'm fine just using the Arduino's computer connector cable to use it.
Also some big assumptions here, may be blocking you. You could send keypress events to a PC app interfacing the Arduino serial port instance, using any Arduino, since they all support serial protocol. You don't have to use mouse or keyboard input.
Specifically, a real UNO or "Mega", not a fake one which has a CH340 chip instead of the 16U2 interface as the 16U2 can be re-programmed as a HID using procedure whose name eludes me at present.
