Raspberry Pi Pico W (RP2040 CPU) based device with a built-in display and a terminal interface. Uses built-in wifi to connect to the MorseKOB Server.
It interfaces to a KOB, Key + Sounder, Key + Tone, Paddle + Tone, etc. to provide Morse input and output. The device can operate completely stand-alone (using the display-touchscreen) or it can connect to a VT-220 terminal (or emulator like Putty) to provide a larger interface and allow keyboard input.
It supports both American (railroad) and International code with sounder or tone output, and allows use of Farnsworth word/character timing to promote improving copying speed.
This repo also includes the MuKOB Interface which can be used with MKOB and MorseKOB through a USB to a PC.

The first, and probably most significant acknowledgement has to go to the architects, developers, technical writers, and other staff members responsible for the Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico W, the Raspberry Pi Pico C/C++ SDK, and the Raspberry Pi Pico C/C++ Samples.
This application implements a 'C' version of the American Morse encoding and decoding algorithms developed by Les Kerr.
The FAT file system and SD card libraries, with some small modifications (to configure for the MuKOB board and remove some printing), are from ChaN and Carl Kugler respectively.
As with every significant C project I've undertaken since the early '80s, my 'go-to' reference is The C Programming Language by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie (Prentice Hall, 1978 & 1988).
