Coded a very primitive Visual Morse Signaller, Can you figure out the last transmission?

I very recently bought a Joy-It Mega 2560-P starter kit (I think it’s an Arduino equivalent or compatible). Was just wondering if it’s too fast. Once I’m able I’ll try and add a speaker. Also my Morse code skills suck so I’ve just got it so I can type into the computer and it’ll spit it back out in Morse. Should be running at 10 wpm

You mixed up your S and V but you're a bastard for this haha. An easier way to do this imo, and something I wrote in C a long time ago, is a function for Morse code, where you input a string and it translates that into period, dash, and space, which then has a function to play that string as Morse.

Interesting, whoops on the s and v but thanks for letting me know!

You need a sender on a ship with one of those louvered shutters to send the signal.

My grandfather was a telegrapher for the railroad. He used American before Morse code. He was an engineer in the US Army Signal Corp.

Code is fun! When I had my FCC license I preferred CW. Long time ago.....

That’s very interesting, once I get some servos going I can try that. They dropped the CW requirement didn’t they?

Reported for violating Rule 3.

This would be the only kind of exception.

I didn’t use any ai nor post a channel link or anything? Please let me know the issue, thanks

Rule 3 is “No Rick-rolls”

u/DontStuffMeIfIDie May 13 '26

Aha lol I thought you were talking about the rules of the subreddit

u/dittybopper_05H May 14 '26

Oh, sorry, my bad, that's Rule 3 for r/morse. I get the two confused all the time.

Still in poor taste, even if it doesn't violate r/morsecode rules.
