# piMorseCodeLEDs

Made to translate strings to morse code, then communicate these via LEDs on a keyboard (provided it's hooked up to a raspberry pi)

Made whilst studying [TM129](http://www.open.ac.uk/courses/modules/tm129) for no other reason than I thought it'd be neat to do and help me a little with some lower-level conceptual understanding.

```bash

pi@raspberry:~ $ python3 piMorseCodeLEDs/main.py --help

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Python script for Raspberry Pi to communicate strings via keyboard LEDs

By Sudoblark (https://github.com/sudoblark)

Strings are first translated to morse code then communication in dot-dash notation via a chosen LED

Accepted args:

--help shows this message

--led %ARG% sets led to use, admissible input is: scrollLock, capsLock, numLock

--message %ARG% determines message to encode and sent

Example

python3 main.py --led capsLock --message SOS

python3 main.py --led capsLock --message 'Hello World'

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

```

# install

1. Clone to a Raspberry Pi

```bash

git clone https://github.com/sudoblark/piMorseCodeLEDs

```

2. Run help if you're stuck

```bash

git clone https://github.com/sudoblark/piMorseCodeLEDs

```

3. Run script in sudo to do some morse code translation

_Note_: Requires sudo to access /sys/class/leds as explained [here](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/leds/leds-class.html)

```bash

pi@raspberry:~ $ sudo python3 piMorseCodeLEDs/main.py --led capsLock --message 'Hello World'
