Guide to the Morse Code Challenge: First telegraphic message?
The first telegraphic message was: What Hath God Wrought
Directions: Use the chart below to break the message down into its parts. Translate each letter
to Morse Code using the Morse Code alphabet that was provided in the 4-Week Circuit Module.
Notice that the pause in time between each dash/dot, letter and word must be accounted for.
You will need all of this information to create a code that will accurately represent the message,
What Hath God Wrought, when you simulate the circuit
Morse Code Notes:
1. The duration of the dash is 3 times (600 milliseconds) of dot (200 milliseconds).
2. Each dot or dash is followed by the blank period which equals to the dot duration (200
milliseconds).
3. Space between letters is 3 dots duration (600 milliseconds)
4. Space between words is 7 dots duration (1,400 milliseconds)
