Overview
Morsed is an open-source printed circuit board by SummerHigh18, from the SummerHigh18/Morsed repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 55 × 65 mm with 13 parts on 18 nets, routed with 64 tracks and 1 via.
Its parts include 4 switches, 1 IC and 1 connector. It belongs with the ESP32 and RISC-V boards of this library.

A Morse Code learning PCB!
This is a PCB having an OLED screen with mainly 3 features we can say:
-
Live Decode: Here we press buttons, and it decodes it into letters only. (dash[-] and dot[.])
-
Word Decode: This is similar to the one above, and makes much more sense for using. The differernce is just that this makes up a whole word, and not just live decoding into letters.
-
A readable cheat-sheet where we can access every letter and it's corresponding Morse code.
-
Lastly we have a secret screen where if someone inputs 'GAME' in the Word Decode, it pushes to a simple game!


This is what the PCB looks like!
The bottom 2 buttons are for dot and dash.
While the butoons on the right are for Enter and Space!
The one on the right I might change as per convinience to other functions too in future.
AI Usage
I used AI for microcontroller purposes and schematic verification. This usage can be confirmed in the Lapse Recordings.

Questions
How big is the Morsed PCB?
It measures 55 × 65 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Morsed use?
13 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Morsed KiCad files?
From the SummerHigh18/Morsed repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/Morsed.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/Morsed.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Morsed design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask SummerHigh18 before reusing the design.
