Morserino-32 Config sets up your Morserino from your iPhone over Bluetooth — no cable, and no computer. The Morserino-32 is an open-source Morse code (CW) training device for radio amateurs. Everything you would otherwise change by turning the encoder and stepping through menus can be done here instead, on a screen, with a keyboard. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Read and change every preference — keyer mode, speed, tone, spacing, Koch lesson and the rest • Store and recall snapshots of complete settings • Edit the CW memories • Set your call sign and operator name • Manage the Koch character sequence and your practice sets • Combine several text files into one training file and send it across • Read practice statistics and game scores, on the models that keep them • Send text to be keyed as CW, and watch what the device decodes YOU NEED A MORSERINO-32 This is a companion to the hardware and does nothing on its own. You need: • A Morserino-32 — classic or Pocket — running firmware 9.0 or later • "Bluetooth Use" set to "BLE Serial" in the device preferences CONNECTING ASKS THE DEVICE FIRST Anything within radio range can reach a Bluetooth device, so the Morserino asks you before it hands over control: it shows "Allow connect?" and waits for you to press its FN button. Nothing gets in without you agreeing at the device itself. No account, no advertising, no data collection. Firmware, manuals and the desktop version of this tool: morserino.info
