PaddleBug 1

This is a dual-lever semi-automatic key that uses magnets for the pendulum instead of springs. The rate is adjusted either by moving the weight or changing the magnet positions. A screw mechanism allows fine control over the length of the dots. This key may also be used as an iambic paddle.

@sonick808, Glad to be part of the breakthrough! Hope to have a few more videos up soon.

this video actually marks the beginning of me being able to copy, i did not expect it at all but the sounds themselves are starting to form letters instead of me trying to match sound to pattern to letter. I didn't expect this at all, was just watching key vids!
