raspimorse

Morse Code interpreter for a Raspberry Pi.

Purpose

This project started when a friend gave me a vintage telegraph key for Christmas. I wanted to do something with it, and I had a Raspberry Pi that I had not used for anything yet, so it seemed like a natural fit.

Building

Run mvn package to build. That's it.

Running

Run java -jar raspimorse-<version>.jar specifying a properties file, or individual values for the pins you have wired up.

Using a Properties File

To use a properties file, create a file in standard Java properties file format, like this

key=17
led=22

Then run java -jar raspimorse-<version>.jar --properties=my.properties

Specifying the Pins

To specify the pins on the command line, you will need to provide the --key and --led options, like this java -jar raspimorse-<version>.jar --key 17 --led 22.

All of the command line options take shorter forms. Run with --help to see all of them.
