USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Morse code is a method used in telecommunication to encode text characters as standardized sequences of two different signal durations, called dots and dashes, or dits and dahs. Morse code is named after Samuel Morse, one of the inventors of the telegraph.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are rules to help people distinguish dots from dashes in Morse code. The length of a dot is 1 time unit. A dash is 3 time units. The space between symbols (dots and dashes) of the same letter is 1 time unit.

Detailed explanation-3: -The sequence “DOT DOT DOT” is code for the letter “s", “DASH DASH DASH” the code for “o". Everywhere there is a DOT in this message your LED would be on for 1 time unit, everywhere there is a DASH the LED would be on for 3 time units. Between the DOTs and DASHes is an the intra-mark delay (IMD).

Detailed explanation-4: -In addition to helping invent the telegraph, the Morse code assigned a set of dots and dashes to each letter of the English alphabet and allowed for the simple transmission of complex messages across telegraph lines.

Detailed explanation-5: -Inventor Samuel Morse developed the telegraph system. Morse’s system sent out a signal in a series of dots and dashes, each combination representing one letter of the alphabet (“Morse code”). The inventor submitted a patent for his device, which he called “The American Recording Electro-Magnetic Telegraph” in 1837.
