Name

Acme::AGMorse - Perl extension for compiling and sending Morse code

Note: This has been tested on Ubuntu Karmic only.

SYNOPSIS

#The following will send "Hello World" in Morse Code at 20 wpm and a dah #weight of three dits or 30 (1/10 resolution for dah weight control)

use Acme::AGMorse;

  SetMorseVals(20,30,0);
  SendMorseMsg("Hello World");  #note, caps are ingnored in Morse Code
  exit;

DESCRIPTION

This is a library that allows the user to set up a Morse code output engine for a user defined wpm and dah weight, then send morse code messages or characters through the exportable routines. This library uses the Beep(<tone freq>,<duration>) routine for sounds and the Time::HiRes for the no sound timing and calibration.

The original code for sending Morse code was derived from programs developed by the author in 1989-1994 Ham Radio logging and rig control applications written for early Windoze

EXPORT

None by default.

TODO

Provide more options for sound Provide option to 'key' using the printer port or serial port Provide option to input 'paddle'

SEE ALSO

Audio::Beep You must install Audio::Beep and test by typing Beep at the command line If you hear a beep all is good. If not you will need to fix Beep before continuing. Some known problems on Ubuntu: 1) pcspkr may not be available by default. run: sudo modprobe pcspkr ..... check results 2) pcspkr may be available but muted. Check: your sound prefrences, usually a right click over the speaker icon

Time::HiRes

MorseJeapordy.pl script (which is why I built this library)
