CHAPTER 4
Building a Morse Code Generator Library
You now know enough about the Arduino development environment and
about blinking LEDs to start a bigger project. In this chapter, we’ll develop a
Morse code generator that reads text from the serial port and outputs it as
light signals using an LED.
By building this project, you’ll deepen your understanding of serial commu-
nication between the Arduino and your computer. You’ll also learn a lot about
the typical Arduino development process: how to use existing libraries and
how to structure bigger projects into your own libraries. At the end, you’ll be
able to create a library that is ready for publishing on the Internet.
What You Need
1. An Arduino board
such as the Uno,
Duemilanove,
or Diecimila
2. A USB cable to
connect the
Arduino to your
computer
3. A speaker or a
buzzer (optional)
