One of the first computer games I played was Zork. It was back in 1981 and on a Dec 20 mainframe. I have a lot of happy memories of Zork so I was interested when Hackaday posted that MIT has released the original source code on Github. It wasn’t the puzzles that interested me back...

Measuring audio frequency with an Arduino
When I was working on the Morse Code Decoder project I got unexpected results from the output of of the KY-037 audio module. The output was being monitored by an interrupt in the Arduino Nano. It was triggering far more than I expected. I wondered if it was triggering at the frequency of the audio... Continue Reading →
Morse Code Decoder using an Arduino Nano
Decoding recreated Morse code from the Titanic I find the history of Morse code fascinating. I admire those that are able to send and interpret Morse code messages at high speed. Some time ago I saw a YouTube video about a Morse Code decoder that was based on a micro controller. I didn’t see the... Continue Reading →
Hello world
Hi, welcome to my new blog. I created it so that I can share some of the projects and activities I do, not because they are great, but to entertain and inspire. I hope you get something from it.
