In this assignment you will connect an LED to the micro:bit with alligator clips. You will then write a program that blinks the first letter of your name in Morse code. You can find the codes for each letter on Wikipedia's Morse Code page. We'll use the following Morse Code timing rules:
- The length of a dot is 1 time unit
- A dash is 3 time units
- The space between symbols (dots and dashes) of the same letter is 1 time unit
- The space between letters is 3 time units
- The space between words is 7 time units.
Here's a sample program that signals Morse Code for the letter "A" which is one dot followed by one dash.
# Add your Python code here. E.g.
from microbit import *
while True:
pin0.write_digital(1) #dot
sleep(100) #one unit
pin0.write_digital(0) #off
sleep(100) #one unit
pin0.write_digital(1) #dash
sleep(300) #three units
pin0.write_digital(0) #off
sleep(700) #seven unitsIf your first name starts with "A", use the first letter of your last name since the sample program uses "A".
Submit the code and a short video of your program running. You may find slides 100 - 107 of the slide presentation helpful in completing this assignment.
You can add more blinks to your program to spell out a longer message.
