Your first design: a Morse code trainer

In short

You describe a Morse code trainer in one sentence, confirm the requirements, let the agent design the electronics, firmware and enclosure, review the red-team findings, and download a JLCPCB order package. It uses 1 credit.

1. Describe your idea

Click New design and write what the product must do. Mention parts you already own — Daedalus treats them as fixed inputs.

“A Morse code learning device with my Nextion 3.5" screen, a Wemos board and an old telegraph key. Step-by-step lessons, saved progress, several users, solo and multiplayer games.”

2. Confirm the requirements

The agent proposes requirements and decisions — for example the Koch teaching method and ESP-NOW for multiplayer. Use Guide me if you are unsure; it asks multiple-choice questions and marks the recommended answer.

Question 2 of 4

Who else has this problem besides you?

Why I ask:

9 of 10 needs come from your own observations; the goal also names birds, but no one with a bird problem is on the board.

Other answer…

Tip

Concept and requirements are always free. Credits are only used when the full design chain starts.

3. Let the agent design

Daedalus generates the KiCad schematic and PCB, PlatformIO firmware, the Nextion screens from Figma and a parametric enclosure. Each output is checked: ERC and DRC for the board, a build and simulation for the firmware, fit checks for the enclosure.

4. Review the red-team findings

Before you can order, an independent agent reviews the design. For the Morse trainer it found an unverified display pin order (blocker), a weak USB supply and oxidised key contacts. Fix them or accept the risk with a reason.

5. Download the order package

Choose JLCPCB, PCBWay or Eurocircuits. You get upload-ready files and the exact options to select:
