My forey into electronics! It's a simple setup, just some blinking lights. Really simple C code. This video was a bunch of colored lights blinking, but I was also playing around with getting the blinking lights to blink in Morse Code. It's not that hard, but getting the lights to blink once in C is like 5 lines of code or so. Then you have Morse, which is like 3 or 4 blink patterns per letter. Rewriting all that every time I want to test different phrases is tedious with so I wrote out an array in C of the Morse Code, and a Python file that will convert text I type in into something for Arduino.
