Building a Morse Code Generator Library
You now know enough about the Arduino development environment and
about blinking LEDs to start a bigger project. In this chapter, we ll develop a
Morse code generator that reads text from the serial port and outputs it as
light signals using an LED.
By building this project, you ll deepen your understanding of serial commu-
nication between the Arduino and your computer. You ll also learn a lot about
the typical Arduino development process: how to use existing libraries and
how to structure bigger projects into your own libraries. At the end, you ll be
able to create a library that is ready for publishing on the Internet.
What You Need
1. An Arduino board
such as the Uno,
Duemilanove,
or Diecimila
2. A USB cable to
connect the
Arduino to your
computer
3. A speaker or a
buzzer (optional)
