# Morse (Raspberry Pico)

![Morse Code LED Blinker](example.gif)

*Example of the serial port communication.*

This project allows you to input a word or sentence using Raspberry usb serial port via the Minicom terminal, convert it to Morse code, and blink an LED on a Raspberry Pi Pico to represent the Morse code. The Morse code translation is also printed back to the terminal.

## Building the Project

1. **Clone the Repository**:

    ```sh

    $ git clone https://github.com/L-A-Marchetti/Morse.git

    $ cd Morse

    ```

2. **Clone the `pico-sdk`**

    ```sh

    $ cd ..

    $ git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-sdk.git --branch master

    $ cd pico-sdk

    $ git submodule update --init

    ```

3. **Copy the external pico sdk import**

    Copy ‘pico_sdk_import.cmake’ file from the /pico-sdk/external directory into the github repository.

    ```sh

    $ cd ../Morse

    $ cp ../pico-sdk/external/pico_sdk_import.cmake .

    ```

4. **Create the build folder**

    ```sh

    $ mkdir build

    $ cd build

    $ export PICO_SDK_PATH=../../pico-sdk

    $ cmake ..

    ```

2. **Compile (if needed)**:

    ```sh

    make -j4

    ```

3. **Upload the Code to the Pico**:

    Connect your Raspberry Pi Pico to your computer via USB, then drag and drop the generated `morse.uf2` file from the `build` directory to the Pico.

## Running the Program

1. **Open Minicom**:

    ```sh

    sudo minicom -b 115200 -o -D /dev/ttyACM0

    ```

2. **Interact with the Program**:

    - Enter a word or sentence.

    - End the input with `!`.

    - The program will process the input and start blinking the LED according to the Morse code translation.

    - The Morse code translation will also be displayed in the Minicom terminal.
