(Comp.sys.handhelds) Item: 1053 by gt3398b at prism.gatech.EDU Author: [DELANO,ANDREW DOUGLAS] Subj: Morse Code on the 48sx (and serial cables!) Date: Mon Nov 05 1990 09:15 Last night after having a couple of beers, I got bored and decided to try my hand at a serial connecting cable. I got some pins out of a shoebox full of electrical junk I had been saving, some wire, a 25 pin rs232, a soldering iron, a glue gun, a pinout diagram, another beer, and some chips. After about 15 minutes I was left with a mass of glue, wire, solder mess, but when I plugged it all in, it worked (of course!!). Anyway, I'd repost my Morse Code program for the 48sx in READY TO DOWNLOAD format. I know that it's is really long, but it works quite well, and all you have to do is download it. If you want to make a better one, please do, just let me see the new version so maybe I can improve. If you like it and use it, also let me know (nice to know somebody else likes your programs). Anyway, have fun with the morse code, and if you get bored, try making a cable, it's not very difficult, and it sure does make hp48 life easy! To use the program, put a string on the stack with what you want to send (e.g. "SOS" caps only) and press ->MRS. If your beeper is on, the 48 will beep the SOS equivalent and store a new string of *'s and -'s under 'CODE' (ie "*** --- ***"). Any questions, please email me. -- DELANO,ANDREW DOUGLAS Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta Georgia, 30332 uucp: ...!{decvax,hplabs,ncar,purdue,rutgers}!gatech!prism!gt3398b Internet: gt3398b@prism.gatech.edu
