LaunchPad dev boards from Texas Instruments are cheap and easy to program, making them a great Arduino alternative if you can do without some of the bells and whistles. [ech0s] put his to good use … ...

If you’re looking for a simple way to make an RF transmitter, check out [Tomasz]’s Morse code transmitter. His design uses nothing more than a microcontroller and a 16MHz crystal to tra… ...

The full tutorial is on Instructables, but to make him react to sound; turn his head and flash his LED eyes in morse code patterns, you won’t need many components.

Initially we build a transmitter and receiver to communicate between Arduinos using Morse code sent by pulses of light waves. Next, we consider digital music, which we create by switching a voltage on ...

How Does Morse Code Work? Samuel Morse is to the telegraph what Thomas Edison is to the light bulb—he didn’t necessarily invent the technology, but he did perfect it.
