The Luddite Technologies Line-Powered Keyer

Telegraphers have long enjoyed a wide variety of keyers; however, to date, these devices have all been powered either from an external power supply or from a battery. Improvements in microcontroller technology now allow for the implementation of a keyer that derives its operating power solely from the transmitter's key interface, elminating the need for external power supplies and batteries. Shown below are the keyer project's schematic, layout, software flowchart. This information is also contained in a document, available here, and the source code can be seen here.
