Problem:
Morse code is commonly received through either visual or audible feedback; however, this can be challenging for those who are blind, deaf, or both. Additionally, I had next to no experience using hardware interrupts on Arduino, so I wanted to find a good application of interrupts for this assignment.
Proposed Solution:
I wanted to create a system that allows morse code senders to quickly adapt their messages into signals that people without sight or hearing can understand. To do this, I created two physical button inputs—the first button directly controls an LED (but could easily be a buzzer) that is used to send the morse code signal; the second button toggles a vibrating motor to buzz in conjunction with the LED. In this way, one can change the message being send from purely visual to both visual and tactile at any time.
