Colloquy CW Plugin is a plugin for the Colloquy IRC client. It converts your chat transcript into Morse code. This allows you to listen to a channel without having to flip over to Colloquy to read the full text. You can also disable the message bubbles once you are confident in your ability to understand the code.
I developed this plugin when I started relearning CW. A little practice here and there is good, but I wanted an easy way to weave CW into my everyday life. IRC as Morse code seemed the simplest and most entertaining route.
To install Colloquy CW Plugin for your user account,
run deploy from the repository root directory.
You must have ebook2cw to convert text to Morse code audio.
Place a copy in your path, and deploy will find and use it
automatically.
ebook2cw was written by Fabian Kurz (DJ1YFK) and is available from
its author’s website.
A Mac binary is available from
http://lategahn.2log.de/index.php?ebook2cw-for-the-mac.
Once installed, Colloquy will load the plugin the next time it starts. You can load it sooner by issuing the command:
/fscript load cw
from within Colloquy.
Other commands you may find useful are:
/fscript reload cw /fscript unload cw
Currently, the plugin cannot be selectively enabled for certain
channels, nor can the CW generated be configured without editing
the source. To change the CW settings, add the appropriate
ebook2cw option flags to the options hash in cw.rb.
For example, to set the speed of the generated code to 30 WPM, you would write:
options = {'w' => '30'}
to have cw.rb pass the option -w 30 to ebook2cw.
