v1.4 remote PTT switch
I really like having a PTT hand switch, and real quick this morning made one for v1.4 remote. It uses a tiny Arduino connected via USB to send MOX CAT commands. Initial testing works great. The only bad part is DDUTIL is required to link a physical comm port to SmartCat.
I just need to make a nice enclosure for it
Here is the simple sketch ;
//CAT USB PTT Switch - W4WHL
int buttonState = 0; // variable for reading the PTT status
int oldState = 0;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(4, INPUT); // initialize the PTT pin as an input:
}
void loop() {
buttonState = digitalRead(4); // read the state of the PTT Switch:
if (buttonState != oldState) { // If state has changed, do something
if (buttonState == HIGH) { // If PTT pressed Send MOX on
// Turn on MOX
Serial.println("ZZRX1;");
oldState = buttonState;
}
else {
// turn MOX off:
Serial.println("ZZRX0;"); //If PTT released Send MOX off
oldState = buttonState;
}
}
}

here is the completed functional USB PTT switch. My PTT switch jsut plugs into a 3.5mm jack built into the top of the pill bottle. Looks funny but Works perfect!

I think I saw this at my yearly Dr visit! Really this would be great for remote better than a flex knob0
