Morse Code
A precise tool.
What is the Morse Code & How does it work?
Morse code is a method of transmitting text information as a series of on-off tones, lights, or clicks that can be directly understood by a human with no special equipment. Each letter and number in the Morse code corresponds to a unique sequence of dots (short marks) and dashes (longer marks).
A = cdot –
A = dot dash
The Morse code was developed in the 1830s by Samuel F. B. Morse and Alfred Vail, and it has been used extensively for telegraphy and radio communication.
