In 2015, me and a group of friends organized Arduino Study Group at the Jagiellonian University. At the time, we were undergrads from various disciplines and most of us had no prior experience with DIY electronics, Arduino, and programming. We met each Friday evening with a new electronics project in mind. We created a bunch of fun electronics circuits, overcame many challenges, and had a fun time hanging out in the robotics room at JU!
Later, me and my husband decided to write-up one of the projects that the two of us completed thanks to the skills we've gained during our meetings. The project was super-fun: We've built a system for transmitting messages in Morse code between two computers! We had so much fun when the first message:
Fly me to the moon.
was finally successfully transmitted and received!
Later, we were testing our pipeline with a couple of fun extensions. For example, we successfully transmitted a 16px by 16px image simply by light traveling through air! 🏞️
We prepared a fun DIY tutorial that describes the project step-by-step. It should help you re-create our setup and enjoy the fun of transmitting messages through air.
The PDF tutorial can be downloaded below:

All of our C++ code can be accessed through this GitHub repository:
I hope that this project inspires you to embark on a similar adventure!
