I am still working on the documentation. I will add pictures and diagrams soon. But it is basically the same diagram as the arduino starter tool kit tutorials 100-104.pdf file page 11.
This is simple LED blinking light project for arduino for beginners just like me. Code is simple too. I will have few different styles.
- Basic
- It is absolutely basic format and very easy to read.
- I did this way so people who have no idea on C language can understand.
- Enhanced
- I moved morse code related section to morsecode.h header file.
- Advanced
- added a new function
void stringToMorseCode(char arg[])to read the string of letters and numbers and convert into morse code - it accepts the string and convert.
- added a new function
- Buy arduino starter kit
- I bought this one. starter kit
- Install Arduino IDE
- Download and install from this site
- And install the software.
- When you run the software, it should look something like this arduino-morse-code-001.jpg
-
- Download tutorial file
- Make sure your computer can talk to arduino
- connect your arduino to your computer without any other things attached
- try to follow chapter 1 and 2
- When you try to upload the example code for the first time, it will ask you which serial port you want to use.
- I had good luck with tty.usbmodemfa131 with Mac
- Assemble LED blinking kit
- The diagram and items weren't exactly identical to what I got. So, I took some pictures of mine.
- If it is the same tutorial file, then the file name should be Arduino Stater Kit Tutorals 100-104 and diagram can be found on page 11. And here is the screen shot of it. arduino-morse-code-002.jpg
-
- Open morsecode.ino from one of these three folders (basic, enhanced, and advanced)
- clone this repository or download the file or you can browse to the code and copy and paste to your arduino ide
- it should be looking like this arduino-morse-code-003.jpg
-
- Verify to make sure code compiles without any errors.
- Upload
- Enjoy!
