Morse code is old fashined way of sending message using dots and dashed named after Samuel Morse who invented it back in the 1830
along with Alfred Vail.
Like, the letter "E" is just one quick dot (-), "T" is one long dash (-), and the famous SOS is ··· −−− ··· (three quick, three long,
three quick). People still use it today-ham radio nerds love it, pilots hear it from some navigation beacons, and it is great in
emergencies because you can send it with a flashlight, by tapping on a pipe, whatever.
Morse code is usually transmitted by on-off keying of an information-carrying medium such as electric current, radio waves, visible
light, or sound waves. Learn more about Morse code on wikipedia.
How Morse Code Works?
Morse code is just a way to send letters using only short and long beeps (or flashes). Short = dot (·), long = dash (−). That is it. Only
two sounds for the whole alphabet!
These codes have some basic rules:
Dot = quick 'dit' (1 unit)
Dash = longer 'dah' (3 units)
Tiny pause between dots/dashes in the same letter
Medium pause between letters
Long pause between words
Speed starts at 5 words per minute (super slow and clear) and crazy people go 40+ wpm where it sounds like a bee, but beginners stick
to 10-15 and it's totally fine. That is literally all you need to start! I went from 'this is impossible' to sending my name in like
20 minutes. Try it it is weirdly fun once you hear the rhythm.
