Build Your Own Morse Code Virtual Radio @Raspberry_Pi #piday #raspberrypi
In commemoration of the 100 year anniversary of WWI, The Raspberry Pi Foundation has posted this wonderful tutorial on how to build your own morse code virtual radio:
2014 marks the 100th anniversary of the declaration of World War 1, which began on the 28th of July 1914. Over 16 million people lost their lives and 20 million were injured, making it one of the bloodiest conflicts in human history. It became known as the Great War and, subsequently, the First World War. To commemorate this event, we’ve come up with a way for you to simulate and experience the main form of radio communication that was used back then. Imagine being alive one hundred years ago, and sending and receiving messages that could mean life and death using only tones!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
