Grocery Star Wars. Starts a bit slow but well worth the three and a half minutes to watch. The audio is hilarious- click on the "meet the puppets" link if you miss any of the characters names (like Obi Wan Cannoli or Tofu-D2). Very well done!
Remote CW with RKI 1.05 and Sparkfun FT231X breakout board
I've created a workable solution for sending CW via a "straight key" to my remote Flexradio 6600 at the lake using RemoteKeyerInterface (RKI) and a simple Serial/USB circuit. RKI is only available for Windows. RKI enables you to use paddles or a straight key to send CW through a remote Flex‑6000 transceiver. After several iterations I've settled on a design using the Sparkfun FT-231x breakout board and RKI v1.05 that was originally posted by Gary KT7AZ on the RKI groups.io forum . However, to send CW reliably via a straight key - there were two main problems I had to solve. First, I had to resolve the network latency and buffer bloat in my shack's network by setting up a router with Smart Queue Management. The Ubiquity EdgeRouter was recommended by a friend of mine (Larry N1FG) and has been working great. I'm using the 4 port Edgerouter X which was only $50 at microcenter (open box special). No more audio stuttering or dropped packets, which kills
