I am a maker! This video shows the Morse Code generator/trainer that I created as an introductory Arduino project. I used the Elego Super Starter Kit which goes for about $30 right now on Amazon. I used three tutorials for the bits and pieces: Green LED; Push Button; 1602 LCD Module. I then wrote C code to write the Arduino sketch that makes it all work together.

TT1921 (M Oyeleye) Prof. Garrett, What a great article to read!

One of many good articles for this week's study. I especially liked the Facebook uses.
