Thank you lloyddean I will try the sketch after I get a handle on this programing zeitgeist. One of my goals is to Lego the code, that is small understandable chucks of code. Sort of fifth grader level. Not to say loading arrays and sub calls isn't good programing practice. For myself I need some one to one mapping before move to the next level of interaction. The getting it to do and the knowning how it got to be done often is a matter of a whole lot of repeated baby steps.
THING # 3 Three LED in a row. The thought given form was send dash signals on pin 2 send dot signals on pin 12 and send end of charterer signal on pin 3. Up until this point I had not put any component into the breadboard. I followed the drawing in the starter kit book and wasn't getting much luck with the resisters going horizontal on the breadboard. The LED was barely glowing if glowing at all. Further the drawing of the + and - rails where reversed on my breadboard. Now for a person with years of electronic training this would not be a problem. but for someone with Zero experience. this added FUD to the project. I googled the breadboards manufacture in Ill. the markings of +red -blue matched. I looked a bunch of Youtube and the breadboard matched. So I figure I take a look at the Arduino tutorials and low one showed a drawing with all the resisters place vertically on the breadboard. I pulls out all the LEDs and jumpers and resisters.
By this time the legs on the poor resister were bent, kinked, and bowed, the jumper were crossing over each other and the jumpers from the resisters to the -blue rail were at 20 degree diagonals, but they all blink at the same time full brightness. It looks very ugly but I have a red a blue and a green blinking.
Next thing: send mores code to the LEDs. I think I will call the thing a Arduinograph. ha ha
