The function output_code takes a Morse code sequence consisting of dots and
dashes and turns it into calls to dit and dah . The dit and dah methods then print
a dot or a dash to the serial port and delegate the rest of the work to output_sym-
bol , passing it the length of the Morse code symbol to be emitted. output_symbol
sets the output pin to HIGH for the length of the symbol, and then it sets it
back to LOW . Everything works exactly as described in the Morse code timing
scheme, and only the implementation of send_message is missing:
TelegraphLibrary/telegraph.cpp
void Telegraph::send_message(const char* message) {
Line 1
for (unsigned int i = 0; i < strlen(message); i++) {
-
const char current_char = toupper(message[i]);
-
if (isalpha(current_char)) {
-
output_code(LETTERS[current_char - 'A']);

delay(_dah_length);
-
} else if (isdigit(current_char)) {
-
output_code(DIGITS[current_char - '0']);
-
delay(_dah_length);
-
} else if (current_char == ' ') {

Serial.print(" ");
-
delay(_dit_length * 7);
-
}

}
