A couple weeks ago, i have ported the implementation of Enigma Railway from PIC16F84 based to the one geared by ATMega32 running at 16 MHz. The code is rewriten from assembly to C for better understanding.
The hardware is based on ATMega8535 development board produced by innovative electronics with small changes on system frequency and microcontroller replacement. The code is compiled using codevision 1.25.3 and you may use another compiler with minor changes. The code is freely available for anyone under the GNU Public License 3.0 terms. You way use and modify it with no warranty implied.
In this post, i used the ATMega32 to continuously monitor the serial connection form PC to microcontroller (at 115200) for incoming data. Once [a-z:A-Z] characeter found, i’t will subsequentially encode the incoming character through Enigma Railway substitution cipher and pass back the result. The PC side control is hosted by Teraterm configured at 115200 8n1 with no flow control.
The code is verified against the “Enigma Railway Simulator” coded by Geoff Sullivan found here. The test vector comparison is performed by enciphering 600 of “A” characters using the same initial condition
In addition, i used several number and symbol to control the inner state of Enigma Railway Cipher Machine. The Control Character is shown at screenshot section below.

After your compiled and burned the HEX code to the chip, you can connect it to PC and type “?” (a question mark) to display those menus.
