Reads input from an arduino and changes the morse code message to the latin alphabet.
Ship #1
Pending review
After a lot of vibe coding i managed to connect my other mini TV project to this one. Also i transferred the translation from morse code to the latin alphabet from python back to arduino ide and all the code is in one text file. I’m still going to use python but for a different reason. I want to use the morse code reader to write Whatsapp messages, hopefully i can get that to work. Also the mini Tv is still not finished and i’m still wainting for my morse code reader to get printed. The print should come in tomorrow. I have to admit i used a lot of AI in this stage of the project and i must start learning the c++ syntax. Today i’m going to finish the mini TV get all the wiring done and i might even create a PCB for this project.
Update- i finished the hardware part of the syncing process between the mini Tv and the morse code reader. Took me about an hour but i cant log it.
I finally started with the CAD design for my morse code reader. I wanted it to look like the morse code sender things form the 19th century and i think i did a good job for my skill level. It’s nowhere close to being finished but i think its a good start. Also i recently switched from Fusion to Onshape and i’m finding designing much easier therefore i recommend you should also start using Onshape. It hasn’t crashed on me once. The hole in the design is where the button will be.
I made a long recording before this but it didnt save:(.During these 15 minutes i drew a sketch of the reader. But i did the more important things during the recording which has been deleted. I started over with the python code and i go tit working, but it was kinda shaky, long and slow. In short i wrote all numbers and added the morse code translations in 27 if functions. It was really slow and ugly and that encouraged me to learn dictionaries in python. After quite a lot of thinking i realised i had to convert the letters in morse alphabet to bits(morse_signal = data.decode(‘utf-8’).strip()). I finally got it working after that change
i am trying to send data from the serial monitor to python because its easier for me to work there.
