About the LED Morse Simulation And Decoder PCB

LED Morse Simulation And Decoder is an open source AVR/Arduino PCB design by GBansal07, published on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board measuring 30.5 × 54.9 mm, with 2 components from 2 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the Arduino_Nano_v3.x, from the AVR/Arduino family.

From the project

I created an LED Morse Decoder for my UWindsor Mars Rover Team that competes in the Canadian International Rover Challenge. I also created my own simulation with a few randomized parameters with an LED. The Morse Decoder program is in the same file and works normally because I use millis() for non-blocking functionality.

Now here are my thoughts and design process for this project: The first thing I did was learn a sufficient amount of Morse code to be able to program logic into an Arduino, converting LED timing intervals into numbers and letters. After some research about Morse, I constructed a simulation to randomly generate an alphanumeric code (fancy word for a code that only consists of the English letters and numbers), convert it to Morse (dots and dashes), then to timings, and blink an LED I wired to an Arduino NANO through a breadboard. I laid this out in a clear and concise way, but actually doing it…
